Job Description
- Pediatric Behavioral Health Care Manager (BHCM)
- Part-Time | 20 hours/week (path to full-time)
- On-Site: 1140 Parsippany Blvd, Parsippany, NJ
- Salary: $30,000 to $32,500 annually based on experience
Why This Role Stands Out
This is not a traditional therapy role. As a Behavioral Health Care Manager, you will be the core member of an integrated, multi-disciplinary treatment team supporting a panel of patients with pediatric mental health needs.
You’ll practice in a true Collaborative Care Model (CoCM), working alongside pediatricians and a psychiatric consultant to deliver measurement-based, outcomes-driven care to children and families at a population health impact.
If you value wrap-around, evidence-based care, clear clinical direction, and a highly collaborative team environment, this role is designed for you.
