Do you have a passion for making a real difference in the lives of people living with mental health challenges and disabilities? At Easterseals PORT Health (ESPH), we’re seeking compassionate and dedicated Child First Clinician to join our team in Goldsboro, NC. As a valued member of our collaborative and supportive team, you will work together to transform the lives of individuals by providing a comprehensive range of services that treat the whole person and empower patients to find their way forward.
What You’ll Do:
The Child First Clinician partners with a Family Resource Partner to engage families who are referred to the Child First home-based intervention. Child First’s primary goal is to strengthen the caregiver-child relationship so that it serves both as a protective buffer to unavoidable stress and directly facilitates the child’s emotional, language, and cognitive growth. The Clinician uses trauma-informed CPP, a relationship-based, dyadic, parent-child treatment model, which focuses on the primary attachment relationships of the young child.
- Provide Child First home-based psychotherapeutic intervention with young children and their caregivers using relational, dyadic psychotherapy (CPP) and other modalities
- Provide mental health and developmental assessment and consultation within early care and education settings and to other early childhood providers
- Engage with the Child First family and the Family Resource Partner in the collaborative family assessment process (i.e., gather information from interviews, observations of interactions and play, reviewed records, collateral sources, and standardized measures).
How You’ll Benefit
Being part of our team means we value and encourage your personal growth and development. You’ll earn an hourly salary based on your experience; we offer competitive benefits to benefits eligible positions.
Our benefits include:
- Paid time off and paid holidays
- Medical, Dental, and Vision Health Benefits + an optional Flexible Health Spending Account (FSA)
- Life Insurance, Disability Insurance and more
- 403(b) Retirement Plan
- Employee Assistance Program and Legal services, when needed.
- Lots of Merchant Discounts to improve your purchasing power!
What We’re Looking For:
To join our team, you must provide Child First home-based psychotherapeutic intervention with young children and their caregivers using relational, dyadic psychotherapy (CPP) and other modalities. We also require:
- Master’s or Doctoral level mental health provider (e.g., LCSW, LMFT, clinical psychologist, other), licensed in North Carolina required.
- Minimum 3 years’ experience working psychotherapeutically with culturally diverse children and families, including parent-child therapeutic work and play therapy with very young children (0-5 years).
- Past CPP training is highly valued.
- Valid driver’s license, good driving record and current auto insurance.
