Behavioral Health Specialist - Plymouth Meeting, United States - Caron Treatment Centers
Description
Want to make a difference in the life of a young person? As a Student Assistance Program Specialist at Caron, you'll join a diverse team of over 75 behavioral health professionals and educators. Our Specialists provide services to kids K-12, as well as college students and even athletes.
This position is rooted at the very heart of our communities. You'll work on-site at local schools and child serving agencies to provide the behavioral health support young people need, from prevention of high-risk behaviors to intervention services related to substance use and mental health concerns. Working in collaboration with the school professionals and parents is a primary aspect of the position, and our goal is to build resilience for the young people we work with.
This position offers a full-time, seasonal work schedule. We offer work hours within a traditional school-year schedule, meaning your summers are free. Applicants should possess at least one year of experience working with youth in an educational or public health setting, and a solid understanding of the effects substance use, including nicotine, has on their development.
This position will begin with the start of the new school year in August 2024.
