Real Talk
We’ll be honest – you will work hard in this job establishing relationships built on trust and professionalism. As this is a new program, the Behavioral Health Psychologist position will be an integral part of a dynamic team that currently consists of three licensed clinical social workers and is expected to grow quickly. The position requires someone motivated and dedicated to collaboratively build the program to best support employees in frequent high-stress situations. In this new position, you will have opportunities to learn about the professions you serve.
Supporting the mental health needs of public servants isn’t always easy, but if you are committed to making a difference in the lives of others who are dedicated to helping our community members, and are looking for a career rather than a job, we want you on our team!
