About Southern Live Oak Wellness (SLOW) Academy

Southern Live Oak Wellness (SLOW) Academy is a specialized 8-bed inpatient eating disorder treatment program located in Dunwoody, Georgia, providing compassionate, evidence-based care for individuals struggling with eating disorders and related behavioral health challenges.

Our program was intentionally designed to provide a more personalized, family-style treatment environment where every team member plays a meaningful role in patient recovery. Our smaller setting allows clinicians to truly know their patients, collaborate closely with the treatment team, and make a direct impact on medical stabilization and long-term recovery outcomes.

We are seeking a compassionate and clinically skilled Part-Time Registered Nurse (RN) to join our weekend day shift team and provide medical and psychiatric nursing support to clients receiving eating disorder treatment.

Why This Role Stands Out

✔ Work in a specialized eating disorder treatment program with a small, supportive clinical team
✔ Provide meaningful medical care during critical phases of recovery
✔ Build strong therapeutic relationships with clients in a smaller treatment environment
✔ Collaborate daily with psychiatrists, nurse practitioners, therapists, dietitians, and behavioral health professionals
✔ Gain specialized experience in eating disorder nursing, psychiatric nursing, and medical stabilization
✔ Enjoy a consistent 12-hour day shift schedule with no rotating shifts
