Child and Adolescent Therapist - Washington, United States - Safe Shores
Description
Job TypeFull-time
Description
Safe Shores, the DC Children's Advocacy Center, is currently seeking a Child and Adolescent Therapist. This is a full-time, exempt position with a starting salary of $65,000 for candidates with graduate-level licensure (LGSW, LGPC) and $70,000 for those with professional clinical licensure (LICSW, LPC).
Be part of a diverse and dynamic team delivering quality services to/for child victims with equity, respect, and care
At Safe Shores, our work is all about PEOPLE. Therefore, we center people in our programming, services, policies, practices, and operations. Which people? The children and families we serve AND the people who do the work, our staff. How? For our trauma-impacted clients, by honoring the humanity of every individual, delivering high-quality services tailored to their specific needs, which includes giving them the time and attention they need. For our staff, by listening, offering excellent benefits, paying competitive salaries, providing remote work flexibility (depending on the position), investing in professional development, pursuing JEDI, encouraging and facilitating self-care and wellness, prioritizing progress over perfection, and building a team of smart, dedicated pros who know that Safe Shores' mission is best accomplished when we show up as our whole selves, support one another, and experience joy. Joy working with young victims of crime? Absolutely, yes Mining joy is essential to offering hope, helping clients heal, and individual/organizational sustainability.
Safe Shores' survivor-centered approach to healing means we recognize that healing is not linear and that our clients often bring multi-layered challenges to the therapy space in addition to the trauma that brought them to Safe Shores. Traditional insurance-guided treatment time-frames and deadlines may not meet our client's needs; therefore, we don't have those restrictions. Our therapists meet each client where they are and work with them accordingly, including on their time frame. Reasonable caseloads give Safe Shores' clinicians the time and space to provide optimal clinical support. Further, Safe Shores knows the importance of language and cultural factors that affect client needs, and we allow the time required for staff to be appropriately supportive and responsive.
HOW WE PRIORITIZE THE PEOPLE WHO DO THE WORK (EMPLOYEE BENEFITS)
To start, we recognize that co-workers impact the job experience. Safe Shores is intentional about assembling and supporting a team of individuals who are not just able, resourceful professionals, but just as importantly, people who are respectful, responsible, honest, and kind and who embrace Safe Shores' mission and values wholeheartedly, with a focus on racial equity, kindness, belonging, trustworthiness, integrity, and taking care to give care.
That said, our robust benefits for newly hired employees include:
Provides (without charge to client or encumbrance of insurance) therapeutic services to help children and caregivers cope with and recover from experiences of child sexual or physical abuse or exposure to other violent crimes. This is currently an 80% in-person, direct service position and may require occasional evening (until 8 p.m.) work hours. The incumbent is required to participate in the on-call rotation for after-hours and weekend clinical crisis intervention services. This position requires mandatory reporting for child abuse and neglect under the District of Columbia Statute §
ESSENTIAL DUTIES and RESPONSIBILITIES include the following. Other duties may be assigned.
There are no supervisory responsibilities for this position.
Requirements
EDUCATION AND EXPERIENCE
Safe Shores is an equal-opportunity employer and values diversity. We are committed to building a team that represents a variety of backgrounds, perspectives, and skills. The more inclusive we are, the better our work will be.
DIVERSITY, EQUITY, INCLUSION and BELONGING
Safe Shores expects all employees to respect and be sensitive to Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging and the cultural differences of applicants, other employees, and those we serve. We demonstrate this respect and sensitivity without regard to race, color, religion, national origin, sex, age, marital status, personal appearance, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, familial status, family responsibilities, matriculation, political affiliation, genetic information, disability (actual or perceived), source of income, place of residence or business, military service, and any other basis protected by federal or District of Columbia law.
