Job Description:

UNLICENSED OR LICENSED CLINICIAN

If you enjoy clinical freedom, working with system- and trauma-impacted persons, ongoing learning opportunities, and contributing to community safety, Sharper Future may be the fit for you. Sharper Future, a well-established forensic mental health agency, is seeking qualified clinicians for full time positions who share these professional ideals.

Sharper Future is a multi-site organization led and staffed by professionals who provide an array of forensic assessment and rehabilitative treatment services. Such services are tailored to meet the needs of those who have become involved in the criminal justice system and are delivered in accordance with the requirements of the supervising agencies.

Position Description

Staff clinicians work independently as a part of an agency team providing specialized rehabilitative forensic mental health services to various challenging, criminal justice involved populations. The current position openings primarily entail delivering outpatient assessment and treatment services (individual and group) to adult sex offenders who are under parole or probation supervision. Conducting intakes, writing reports, providing focused individual and group therapy sessions, and collaborating with parole agents and probation officers are the core job responsibilities.

Staff clinicians receive - and also provide - supervision and formalized trainings. Although services follow the structures of agency protocols and curricula, effective delivery relies heavily on the therapeutic skill, creativity, and relationship-building abilities of the clinicians.

Sharper Future offers a competitive compensation package including medical and vision insurance, paid vacation, sick leave, and holidays. Benefit eligibility depends upon hours worked and some positions may not be eligible for company sponsored benefits. Sharper Future is an equal opportunity employer.
