Full description
Belong to something. Believe in something. Strive for something. UHP creates professionals, builds leaders, and reveals purpose. We’re looking for people to join our team who believe this mission is worth showing up for every day.
UHP is a veteran-focused education and leadership development organization based on a scenic 800-acre campus in Northwest Arkansas.
The UHP School of Health & Performance offers program tracks in personal training, health coaching, and culinary nutrition. At the UHP Skilled Trades Institute, students earn the certifications necessary to launch careers in high-demand trades. Leadership development is baked into every program.
We also work with a network of employer and industry partners to open career pathways for our graduates. While we can't guarantee employment, everything we do is designed to give service members and veterans a real path toward meaningful careers.
Veterans, transitioning service members, and military spouses are strongly encouraged to apply.
Why UHP
At UHP, you are joining more than a company — you are helping build something designed to create lasting impact.
You will have the opportunity to:
- Contribute to a mission larger than yourself
- Help shape and build new systems and programs
- Work alongside passionate and purpose-driven people
- Directly impact the lives of veterans and future generations
- Be part of building the future workforce
The Opportunity
UHP is seeking a Behavioral Health Clinician (LCSW or clinical psychologist) to serve as the licensed behavioral health professional on our campus. You'll support the mental health, psychological safety, and performance readiness of our students, who are primarily veterans in transition, and help our staff do the same.
This is a hybrid role that blends clinical judgment, proactive wellness, and instruction. It is not an ongoing therapy caseload. You'll be the licensed professional students and staff turn to when a situation calls for one: crisis response, risk assessment, behavioral health support during incidents, and referral to outside care. Mental health is central to what UHP teaches, so instruction is a core part of this role. You'll also help establish the clinical guardrails and escalation pathways that keep our team within scope of practice, and serve as UHP's subject-matter expert on behavioral health.
Key Responsibilities

- Respond to student crises and conduct risk and safety assessments within your scope of practice
