WE ARE EXPANDING, AND WE NEED YOU!

$4000 NEW SIGN-ON BONUS!

Catholic Community Services welcomes differences of race, culture, faith, and thought with a strong commitment to naming and combating institutional racism and discrimination within our organization, the Medicaid mental health system, and the child-serving systems with which we work. CCS’s priority for this round of hiring is improving and expanding our services to Black/Indigenous/People of Color (BIPOC) youth. CCS recognizes that as a site made up primarily of staff from the dominant culture/race, we are limited in our ability to effectively serve our BIPOC youth, who are over-represented in mental health services. We know that we need to increase the diversity of our staff by recruiting those who live and/or work from a non-dominant racial lens, and we are actively seeking to build a diverse team of clinicians to challenge traditional thinking in Behavioral Health service provision.

We are a values-driven organization, providing family oriented mental health care for children and families in their own home and community. Our enthusiastic clinical teams provide whatever is needed to help children and youth remain safely in their own home with their family, restoring hope, providing intense mental health services and supports, and helping to strengthen the family unity.

Responsibilities

This is a professional position providing therapeutic interventions to children, youth and their families with intensive behavioral health, crisis response, and community safety needs. Therapeutic services provided by a Clinician III include crisis intervention and extended stabilization as well as longer-term, team-based behavioral health services to children, youth and their families. Clinicians work flexible schedules providing a mix of remote services (during the pandemic) and home and community-based services (with appropriate protective measures) in the setting of the youth and families. This unique way of working allows clinicians the opportunity to offer a high level of collaboration, coordination and intensive behavior health services while allowing room for creativity and needs driven work. Emphasis is on achieving incredible outcomes with children, youth and families by actively partnering with them along with their natural and community services and supports to achieve long term safety and stability in our neighborhoods and communities.

The Clinician III is the primary behavioral health treatment provider assigned to a child, youth and their family. The Clinician III is a lead clinical support, completing the intake/assessment and prescribing mental health treatment, identifying strategies and services to high-risk children, youth and their families. The Clinician III position requires the skills and abilities to assess immediate safety and risk 'in-the-moment' in crisis situations while providing direct therapeutic intervention and support for a diverse population of children with behavioral health needs. Position requires 24/5 on call availability. Clinicians work flexible schedules in order to meet with youth and families at times and places that are convenient to them, meaning clinicians often work later in the day, frequently after 5pm.

Up to $2,000 productivity incentive per quarter
