Are you ready for a change? Consider the role as an integrated behavioral health clinician working within a multidisciplinary team. This is a year-round, full time, 36-hour position, split between two school-based health centers which offer care to the students at Boothbay Region High School and Elementary School in Boothbay, Maine as well as the Wiscasset Middle/High School in Wiscasset, Maine. The behavioral health clinician would work closely with the medical provider and school personnel to best support students. This is a great opportunity to provide easy access for students in the environment where they spend most of their day. And integrated care reduces stigma and increases the student's willingness to participate in care.

The clinician's role includes providing screening, assessments, and focused brief treatment to patients of the practice. Treatment structure includes individual, family, and group work. Additional functions of the role include providing curbside consultation to providers, linking patients to additional services and supports, and participating in population health activities that targets the health and wellbeing of specific groups of people. Persons interested in this position must be comfortable working with all age groups. Knowledge of and interest in treating substance use disorders is preferred.

Your work is enhanced by being part of a larger team with solid experience in integrated work. Collaborative work with psychiatrists and other integrated clinicians in the MaineHealth system adds to the experience. Individual supervision, group supervision, psychiatry consultation, and quarterly training are benefits of this position.
