Make a Real Difference, Every Day
At our Clubhouse, members aren't just clients - they're partners. As a Psychosocial Rehabilitation Counselor, you'll work alongside people living with serious mental illness to build the real-world skills that lead to independence: cooking, budgeting, socializing, and working. You'll see progress up close, and you'll know your work matters.
This is a hands-on, relationship-driven role for someone who thrives in a community setting, values creativity in their work, and believes in people's capacity to grow.
What You'll Do
Coach and mentor members through daily living skills - food preparation, safety, health, socialization, and more - in a structured but supportive Clubhouse environment
- Lead skill-building groups focused on pre-vocational readiness and independent living
- Develop individualized treatment goals in collaboration with each member's care team and case manager
- Plan and participate in special activities, including field trips and community outings (yes, the fun stuff counts as the job)
- Complete timely documentation - monthly summaries, treatment plans, and Medicaid-compliant records
- Provide Mental Health Skill Building services as needed
- Transport members in agency vehicles as part of regular programming
Who You Are
You're energized by people, not worn down by them. You bring patience, creativity, and a genuine belief that recovery is possible. You're equally comfortable facilitating a group and filling out paperwork.
You'll Need
- Bachelor's degree in Human Services or a related field
- Experience working with individuals with mental health, intellectual disability, or substance use challenges (preferred)
- QMHP, QMHP-T, or CPRP certification (or eligibility to obtain)
- Valid driver's license and the ability to operate a 15-passenger van
- Strong communication skills - written, verbal, and interpersonal
- Comfort working both independently and as part of a team
