Westfield, United States Effective School Solutions Full time
Are you passionate about changing the lives of students? Looking for a position with clinical growth opportunities and a school schedule?

About the role: Effective School Solutions (ESS) is currently seeking a Float Clinician to join our team. ESS is one of the country's leading providers of school-based mental health services for K-12 students. Serving over 2,000 students across the Northeast, Mid-Atlantic, and the West Coast regions, our company was founded based on the concept of offering the types of higher acuity clinical care that students would normally receive in a private practice or private school setting within the public-school building. Our Float Clinicians are full-time staff who reap the same benefits as all other clinical staff in ESS, including supervision towards clinical licensing hours. They play a vital role within our organization. Their primary responsibility is to cover a program when the primary clinician is absent. This could mean covering at 5 different schools in one week or covering at one school for a 6-month extended maternity leave. The Float Clinician position is a great way to get hands on experience with elementary, middle, and high school grade levels, as well as group, individual, and family therapies. Float Clinicians receive mileage reimbursement for round trips over 40 miles. Float Clinicians work in a geographical region that is up to a one-hour radius from their home location. In this position, the Float Clinician will have a school identified as their "home school" in a district near their home, but the Float Clinician will travel to surrounding districts. Selected candidates will work with a highly seasoned and professional management team who provide the best possible clinical services. This position will include extensive training to ensure that the chosen individual will have a strong knowledge of the organization's protocols and model of services.
