Job description

Step into a rewarding opportunity as a Mental Health Technician in Rutland, Vermont. Beginning 02/06/2026 for a contract measured in weeks, you will enjoy a guaranteed 40 hours per week and a competitive weekly pay of $1,025 to $1,093. In this role you'll support patients through assessments, de-escalation, daily living skills, and coordination with a treatment team to reinforce safety and progress. You'll gain hands-on experience with diverse populations, implementing care plans, documenting progress, and learning best practices in crisis intervention, trauma-informed care, and evidence-based approaches. The impact you'll have goes beyond the moment-to-moment care; you'll contribute to a healing environment where patients feel respected, heard, and empowered to move forward. Vermont's landscape adds a separate layer of inspiration: picture rolling green hills in every season, quaint towns with thriving galleries and cafés, crisp winter air, and easy access to outdoor adventures that nurture both resilience and balance outside the hospital walls. Beyond Rutland, you'll find opportunities to experience the state's small-town charm, strong community support, and the tranquil beauty that sustains caregivers as they support others.

Rutland, in the heart of Vermont, offers a welcoming community, affordable living, and proximity to outdoor recreation, historic downtowns, and access to high-quality healthcare facilities. The region's emphasis on wellness and connection creates an ideal backdrop for professional growth and personal balance. For professionals seeking broader experiences, this opportunity can also extend to placements across the United States, delivering exposure to varied populations, facility models, and care settings—from urban hospitals to rural outpatient clinics. Each assignment provides fresh clinical challenges, a broadened professional network, and the satisfaction of delivering compassionate care in diverse environments while enjoying the distinctive experiences that travel healthcare offers.

Role Specifics and Benefits:
- Core responsibilities include direct patient care and observation, implementing de-escalation techniques, assisting with activities of daily living, coordinating with multidisciplinary teams, and maintaining precise documentation to inform treatment planning. You'll support safety protocols, participate in recovery-oriented interventions, and help patients apply coping strategies that promote independence and stability.
- Professional growth opportunities abound as you collaborate with nurses, psychiatrists, social workers, and therapists, refining assessment skills, trauma-informed care practices, and crisis intervention capabilities. The role is designed to expand your clinical competencies within the mental health specialty and prepare you for advanced responsibilities.
- Competitive benefits include a generous weekly pay of $1,025–$1,093, plus a bonus program, housing assistance, and potential contract extensions to continue your impact beyond the initial term. You'll also benefit from orientation, ongoing training, and access to professional development resources to accelerate your career trajectory.
- Comprehensive support is a cornerstone of the experience. You'll have 24/7 assistance while traveling with the company, dedicated staffing coordinators, and robust on-call resources to ensure you're never alone on a challenging shift. This supportive network is designed to let you focus on patient care while feeling secure and valued.
