About the Program

Fieldstone RTH is a beautiful 5-bed Residential Treatment Home located in Wilsonville, Oregon. It is the realization of an idea promoted by NAMI and adopted by the Oregon Legislative Assembly in 1999 for the sale and re-development of the property which was formerly a state mental health facility and designed to include integrated community housing for people with disabilities.

ColumbiaCare Services is a qualifying employer for the Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF) Program. QMHA employees are also eligible to apply for the Oregon Behavioral Health Loan Repayment Program.

  • OR minimum three (3) years of verifiable behavioral health experience working with individuals with behavioral health needs in a supervised setting;
  • OR equivalent combination of behavioral science education in addition to satisfactory supplemental behavioral health experience and training

If not already registered as a QMHA through the Mental Health & Addiction Certification Board of Oregon (MHACBO), we will assist you in registering within 30 days of hire.

Vocational Training Program: Employees in the optional Vocational Training Program will have additional training expectations to meet the requirements for QMHA testing.

Driving is an essential function of this position. Successful applicants MUST have a valid Oregon drivers license, maintain a safe driving record, and the ability to pass a DHS criminal background check.
