Make a Difference in Your Own Community

At Telecare, we believe recovery is possible for everyone. Our mission is to deliver excellent and effective behavioral health services that empower individuals to recover their health, hopes, and dreams. Every day, we partner with local agencies, hospitals, and crisis teams to ensure that people experiencing mental health challenges receive compassionate, community-based care—right here in Washington.

We are committed to advancing diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging by hiring and celebrating staff of all backgrounds, including peers, BIPOC, LGBTQIA+, veterans, and people of all belief systems.

About the Program

  • Transition Support Services provide short-term, intensive case management and clinical support to help clients safely step down from inpatient settings.
  • Crisis Support Services offer an alternative to hospitalization through timely, community-based intervention, outreach, and stabilization.

This is a deeply collaborative, mission-driven environment—ideal for a licensed leader who thrives on building strong teams, improving systems, and driving quality outcomes in partnership with local and state agencies.
