Buffalo, United States Catholic Charities of Buffalo Full time

At Catholic Charities, we value inclusivity, flexibility, and respect, believing that each employee should feel comfortable expressing their authentic selves while maintaining a professional and respectful work environment. We believe that embracing diversity and fostering a positive environment enriches our organization and enhances our ability to serve our community.

We are hiring Full-time (40 hours per week) Multi-Systemic Therapist for our Family Enrichment Department with Catholic Charities for our Tronolone Place clients in the Niagara county area.

Catholic Charities of Buffalo Offers:

  • 12+ paid holidays for full-time
  • 25 PTO days a year for full-time
  • Flexible schedules
  • Comprehensive health, dental & vision coverage
  • Flexible spending accounts
  • No cost Employee Assistance Program (EAP)
  • 403B Retirement plan with employer contributions
  • Training and development opportunities

JOB SUMMARY:

  • Do you have a passion for working with children and families? Catholic Charities is looking for compassionate, dedicated people in Niagara & Erie Counties who want to empower youth and families by creating strength-based behavior change that will be sustained long after treatment ends.
  • Would you thrive in a supportive team environment? Learning and growing every day? Working with a small caseload of families?
  • You will receive ongoing team support, training and supervision in the Multi-systemic Therapy (MST) model as you work holistically with families, youth, their communities, and other key members of their ecology to implement MST.
  • Extensive research has proven the effectiveness of MST. MST therapists work in close collaboration with all involved to address the needs of youth who engage in problematic and criminal behaviors, and, in some cases, substance abuse.
  • You will empower families to address problematic behaviors and to help their youth ages 12 - 17 make life-transforming changes. Treatment progress is made through intensive interventions such as changing unhelpful family interactions, addressing the youth's problems with peers and in school, and increasing social support, to name a few. For more information on Multi-systemic Therapy, please watch this video:

ESSENTIAL FUNCTIONS:

  • Exemplify Catholic Charities' mission, vision, guiding principles and values. Cultivate a culture of equity and inclusion.
  • Communicate, comply with, promote and monitor integrity and ethical performance, consistent with Catholic Charities' Corporate Compliance, Code of Ethics, HIPAA, legal mandates & labor laws, managing contractual/funder regulations & accreditation standards, regulations, policies and procedures (e.g. COA, BBB)
  • Engage in weekly case planning and evaluation of case progress, with ongoing support from your supervisor and team members, including through group supervision.
  • While only one therapists work with a particular family, the MST team facilitates a supportive work environment to cover each other's clients for vacation/time off and support each other to maintain a work/life balance.
  • Receive regular training, professional development, supervision, and consultation activities designed to help you acquire extensive clinical skills within the MST treatment model.
  • Provide clinical treatment to families using the MST treatment model and principles. Some principles include leveraging strengths and focusing on the positive, understanding sequences of behavior, and increasing mature behavior.
  • Conduct a thorough assessment of the client and family: gather information on behaviors of concern and strengths in the family and their ecology to inform conceptualization of the problem behaviors and interactions within the family's ecological context.
  • Work comfortably with a diverse community of clients
  • Learn how to effectively connect with the families in the communities served by the team
  • Continuously work to engage the primary caregiver, family members, supports, and community agency staff (school, probation, child welfare) in change-oriented treatment.
  • Promote agency vision, direction and integrity and assist with agency efforts to identify, explore and develop opportunities to enhance, market, and expand existing services and programs throughout WNY.

EDUCATION:

  • Master's degree in clinical or counseling Psychology, Social Work, or a related subject area preferred, or bachelor's degree with experience working with family and/or youth services will be considered. New masters level graduates are encouraged to apply.

EXPERIENCE, KNOWLEDGE, SKILLS AND ABILITIES:

  • Direct use of pragmatic (i.e., structural, strategic, and functional) family therapies
  • Therapy with children and adults using cognitive-behavioral techniques
  • Couples therapy using behaviorally-based approaches
  • Implementation of interventions within or between systems in the youth's natural ecology (i.e., family, peer, school, and neighborhood)
  • Collaboration and partnership with community agencies
  • Previous work providing in-home or community-based therapy services

SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS:

  • As responsibilities may require travel, must have appropriate and reliable transportation, and agency-required level of auto insurance coverage and be able to travel as needed within the eight county WNY region.
