Psychiatric Rehabilitation Counselor:

Make a direct impact in someone’s recovery…every shift.

Wellspring is seeking a compassionate and dependable Psychiatric Rehabilitation Counselor to support adults living with serious mental illness through their recovery journey. This is a hands-on role for someone who can build trust, remain steady during difficult moments, and help clients strengthen the everyday skills they need to live more independently.

You will provide supportive counseling, assist with daily living activities, monitor self-administration of medication, facilitate groups and social interaction, respond to crises, and help maintain a safe and therapeutic environment. This position is an excellent opportunity to gain meaningful behavioral health experience while making a visible difference in the lives of the people we serve.

Qualifications:
  • High school diploma or equivalent is required. Bachelor of Arts (BA) is preferred.
  • At least one year of experience providing support, supervision, coaching, assistance, or daily living support to individuals in a behavioral health, social service, residential, community-based, healthcare, educational, or related human services setting is required for applicants with a high school diploma or equivalent.
  • Applicants with a bachelor’s degree in a related field (e.g., psychology, social work, human services, sociology, etc.) may substitute relevant education for the one-year experience requirement.
Salary:
$15 - $19 per hour

Shift/Schedule:
Part-time: 11:45 AM - 6 PM (2-3 days per week)
Part-time: 3:45 PM and 12:00 AM (2-3 days per week)

​​​​Conditions of Employment:
  • Offers of employment are contingent upon successfully passing a pre-employment drug screening.  This position is a part of an annual, random drug-testing program.
  • This position requires a criminal background check, clearances of state and federal background checks, multiple abuse/sex offender registries, and clearance of exclusion lists prior to employment.
  • Must have access to a personal, registered, and insured vehicle to transport clients (when company vehicles aren't available) and to travel between client locations and related appointments.
  • Must possess a valid, active driver's license and be in good standing.
The Benefit That's Hard to Find:
One of the biggest reasons our employees stay at Wellspring is something harder to list on a benefits sheet: you can actually make and see your impact here.  We pride ourselves in being large enough to make a difference and small enough that your voice matters.  Being a mission-driven nonprofit with a collaborative culture, employees have the ability to:
  • Work autonomously
  • Advocate for clients
  • Implement ideas quickly by working closely with those who can make fast decisions
  • Focus on care rather than bureaucracy 
In other words, less red tape and more meaningful work.

For our part-time employees, we offer:

Time to Recharge:
  • Generous paid time off (PTO) starting after 90 days of employment
  • 9 paid holidays
Financial Security:
  • 401(k) with 100% employer match up to 4%
Support for the Work You Do:
  • Mileage reimbursement for work-related travel
  • Collaborative culture where staff ideas are heard and can quickly translate into improvements
  • Free downtown parking
  • Use of company vehicle, when available
