Currently, we are looking for full-time clinicians who are interested in working with families and are passionate about creating sustainable change in the environments surrounding youth and families. We have openings in both of our evidence-based programs: Functional Family Therapy (FFT) and Multisystemic Family Therapy (MST).
These are in-person roles that will require clinicians to travel throughout the identified territory and work face-to-face with youth and their families in their natural environment, typically in their own home, where they are most comfortable.
You would be a good fit for FFT or MST if:
What Makes These Roles Special:
The ability to make a real difference by providing family- and community-based interventions that focus on addressing all environmental systems that impact at-risk youth, their homes and families, schools and teachers, neighborhoods, and peers.
The Challenges:
This role is rewarding, but it's also demanding.
Emotional resilience required: You’ll be working with youth and families in crisis, which can be emotionally challenging. Strong coping skills and emotional resilience are crucial.
Caseloads: Expect to manage a caseload that can feel heavy at times. FFT clinicians hold a caseload of 10-12, while MST clinicians have 4-6 because they see each client multiple times per week. The community-based nature of the work requires a great deal of flexibility and energy.
Field-based work: You’ll be traveling throughout Contra Costa County to meet clients where they are. A reliable vehicle and the willingness to travel are essential. You’ll also need to be comfortable with evening work and limited on-call duties.
Safety Protocols: We provide training in safety planning and de-escalation strategies, as well as communication protocols to ensure you feel supported and secure during fieldwork. Your well-being is our priority.
If either of these roles sounds interesting to you, you have a passion for working with adolescents and families, and you would thrive in a supportive team environment where you learn and grow every day, we’d like to review your application.
