Child & Adolescent Psychiatrist – Casual Opportunity

Children’s Nebraska is currently seeking a board-certified or board-eligible Child & Adolescent Psychiatrist to join our expanding Behavioral Health team in a casual/PRN capacity. This flexible position is ideal for a physician seeking part-time or intermittent work in a supportive, collaborative pediatric-focused environment—whether you're returning to practice, balancing clinical work with other responsibilities, or simply looking for meaningful, flexible clinical engagement.

In January 2026, Children’s will open its new Behavioral Health & Wellness Center—a state-of-the-art, 103,000-square-foot facility designed to offer a welcoming, inclusive, and healing environment for all children and families. As a casual team member, you will have the opportunity to work across a comprehensive continuum of care including crisis assessment, inpatient psychiatry, partial hospitalization (mental health and eating disorders), outpatient services, and integration with pediatric primary care. Our model of care is deeply rooted in trauma-informed principles and values the essential role of families and communities in the healing journey. Once fully operational, this center will provide a level of pediatric behavioral health continuity that is truly unmatched in the region.

Why Join Us – Even Casually?

• Flexible Scheduling: Work as needed or on a part-time basis—perfect for physicians seeking flexible hours without a long-term commitment to a full-time role.
• Innovative Environment: Be part of a growing behavioral health team at Nebraska’s only full-service pediatric healthcare center.
• Academic Opportunities: Eligible for a faculty appointment through Creighton University School of Medicine’s Department of Psychiatry
• Collaborative Culture: Join a mission-driven team that values compassion, inclusivity, and a shared commitment to improving children’s mental health.
• Leading Pediatric Care: Benefit from partnerships across specialties within Children’s Nebraska, including the cutting-edge Hubbard Center for Children.
