Real Talk
Each day is unpredictable and very different. Each customer encounter is unique. We’ll be honest-this is intense. It’s a stressful, high paced job with critical outcomes. You must be committed to serving customers and some of our families have experienced trauma. You will assist in the professional development of staff. You have the power to create positive change and have a direct impact on Adult Services. You must be flexible and comfortable with taking a leadership role and champion interventions that are implemented. You will work outside of normal business hours which include providing on-call supervision for emergencies 24 hours a day on a rotating schedule including weekends and holidays. Being a Senior Clinician in Adult Services isn’t for everyone, but if you are committed to making a real difference in the lives of others and are looking for a career rather than a job, we want you on our team.
