Full description
Reports To: Director of Behavioral Health or Behavioral Health Manager
This isn’t your average desk job — and it’s not meant to be.
Yes, you’ll enjoy the flexibility of remote work for your telehealth sessions, administrative, and documentation needs. But your greatest impact doesn’t stop at the screen. Step into the community for the moments that truly matter: forging meaningful provider relationships, leading school-based workshops, and showing up at community health events where your presence makes a real difference.
We’re looking for a provider who thrives in both worlds — someone who values the autonomy of delivering care virtually and feels called to be a visible champion for our mission in the field. If you’re energized by connection, driven by purpose, and ready to bring care directly to the people who need it most, we want to hear from you.
