Job description

Allegheny County Department of Human Services has launched a new program to support those interested in gaining professional experience serving underserved populations with behavioral health needs. The Behavioral Health (BH) Fellows programoffers competitive pay, educational loan repayment of up to $45,000*, and a two-year cohort experience including a retreat, professional and leadership development, and relationship building experiences. In exchange, Fellows commit to work for a minimum of two years with a sponsoring behavioral health service provider in our region.

People who are new to the BH field are encouraged to apply.

In the wake of COVID-19, staff vacancies within the behavioral health direct care workforce are high – this creates barriers to critical behavioral health care for some of the most vulnerable in our community.

BH Fellows will be eligible to receive:

• Competitive pay
• Educational loan repayment (*up to $25,000 for a bachelor’s degree and up to $45,000 for a master’s degree) OR free access to an approved professional certificate program
• Cohort experience – Fellows are part of a professional learning community with a retreat, in-person and virtual trainings, leadership development, and relationship building experiences throughout the two-year service term

BH Fellows will be hired into key positions in the following behavioral health service areas:

• Blended Service Coordination
• Family-Based Mental Health
• Crisis Services
• Child Diversion and Acute Stabilization
• Case Management for Substance Use Disorder
• Integrated Dual Disorder Treatment

Students (both bachelor’s and master’s levels) and alumni who are new to the behavioral health field are encouraged to apply. Applications are now open.
