Mental Health Social Practitioner
2 months ago
POSITION SUMMARY
Become a Social Practitioner and join a collaborative and inspiring movement to support individuals (Members) with serious mental illness (SMI). Fountain House is more than just an organization; it's a community dedicated to fostering growth, collaboration and positive impact. We use community as our tool to do this based in our Clubhouse environment.
A Clubhouse is a community-based location designed to support the recovery of people living with serious mental illness (SMI). Each clubhouse provides a restorative environment for people whose lives have been severely disrupted because of their mental illness. The concept of a clubhouse - which was pioneered by Fountain House in the 1940s - starts with the idea that "community is therapy."
In each clubhouse, an intentional community is created, where members and staff work together, side-by-side, to carry out all daily operations of the clubhouse.
The Mental Health Social Practitioner works to support the community through social practice and help Members live their lives to the fullest, while developing independent living skills and making social connections. This position requires interest in community, creativity, and flexibility. There will be no typical day as a Social Practitioner, but if you could see yourself fostering relationships and connections to community by making lunch, sharing a common interest over coffee, advocating at a social service provider, or helping one of your members to apply to a job in the community, then this could be the position for you.
The Mental Health Social Practitioner will be based at our brand new Clubhouse in Harlem, although you will be required to take part in transitional environments (e.g. at a local business) outside of the Clubhouse, take occasional overnight trips to our Community Farm in New Jersey and participate occasionally in evening and weekend activities.
The Social Practitioner is a part of our community
Shift: 9am- 5pm. Monday - Friday with some flexibility as needed.
