LICENSURE CANDIDATE, OR THERAPIST - TODD COUNTY

*Licensure Candidate $73-75k (DOE)

*Licensed Therapist $78k-$84k (DOE) 

PROFESSIONAL ACTIVITIES: 

• Serving in a “Circle of Courage”© community with 4 core Values of Belonging, Mastery, Independence, and Generosity. The most important one is Belonging; where everyone feels that they are a significant part of their local team (they are listened to). Each staff attends one Belonging gathering (not a 'meeting meeting') per month, along with other meetings for case staffings and training.


• Reaching out with Intensive In-Home Family Services (2-3 times per week per case) and collaborating with community agencies with mental health services to children who are at-risk and their families. Your services will be primarily in families’ homes, and at times in the community and schools.


• Connecting with other agencies (‘customers’) who are working with the youth (to 'wrap' services around the child).


• Scheduling. Your service will focus on helping the family and child, often during non-traditional hours when your clients are available – after school hours and evenings (about 4 - some staff work on Saturdays to lessen evenings sessions by one or two evenings) to best connect with family work schedules. Available for crisis calls. Staff who enjoy these positions really value the flexibility in setting their own schedule.


• Documenting. Like all agencies, documenting of case notes and billable hours is required. 


• Billing. Full-time staff provide 109 client hours per month out of the 173 working hours available in a month (40 hours x 4.3 actual weeks per month). The average client hours are 26-28 hours per week.
