We partner with public sector entities and behavioral health organizations, and have over 50 programs across the country. And we’re growing all the time! When you work at Telecare, you help to empower thousands of individuals every day in their journeys of recovery.

Telecare has multiple opportunities for Adolescent Counselors at our 12-bed secure adolescent (male and female) inpatient psychiatric unit for Adolescents between the ages of 13 to 17. A interdisciplinary team provides progressive recovery–based services to adolescents who have mental illness.

You’ll find an empowering environment that fosters open communication and a leadership team that encourages you to lend your experience and expertise. Most important, you must be passionate about caring for adolescents with mental health issues, possess strong clinical reasoning skills, and demonstrate belief in clients’ recovery.

The Adolescent Counselor is an integral treatment team member who is responsible for providing care to meet the physical and psychological needs of the adolescents by providing direct and indirect services in a manner consistent with Rehabilitation and Recovery principles. You will provide input by reporting observations, engaging clients in conversation, and asking appropriate questions. You will review, update, and implement client treatment plans and assist the adolescents in understanding and participating in their care plans.

A BA or BS degree and two (2) years of experience with psychiatric clients, preferably adolescents, in a mental health setting, or an Associate’s Degree and three (3) years of experience, or six (6) years of experience working directly with clients in a mental health setting, is required. Individuals may also qualify for these positions if they have equivalent experience working in a setting providing direct care to adolescents with behavioral issues or learning issues or in an educational/group home setting. Knowledge of basic psychiatric interventions is essential. Good communication skills and a desire to work with adolescents are crucial.

Telecare offers supervision towards license!
