• Pay: Enjoy pay rates that stand out in the industry, in addition to shift differentials for evening, overnight, and weekend shifts.  

 

 

Who We’re Looking For: 

• Mental Health Advocates: You believe in the potential of every individual to grow, heal, and thrive with the right support. 

• Adaptable Problem-Solvers: You remain calm under pressure and can think on your feet to handle unexpected situations effectively. You maintain a positive attitude, even in challenging situations. 

• Culturally Humble: You respect and celebrate the diversity of our clients, team, and neighborhood. You work hard to create a safe and welcoming environment for everyone.
