School Based Clinician

Aspire Health Alliance is seeking a dedicated and compassionate School-Based Clinician to join our team. This role is pivotal in providing therapeutic support and guidance to students within the school environment. The Clinician will operate under the direction of the VP of Crisis and Substance Use Disorder (SUD) Services and the School-Based Supervisor. The primary goal is to offer clinical support to students identified by the school as benefiting from behavioral health interventions.

The Clinician will work in close partnership with school personnel, offering consultative support on behavioral health issues and acting as a clinical resource. Collaboration with the Aspire Community-Based Health Care (CBHC) team is essential to ensure seamless referrals and warm handoffs to outpatient services, crisis services, and in-home therapy. Establishing and maintaining referral sources with other community providers is a key responsibility, as is providing psychoeducation to families within the school setting.

This position is regular/at-will, indicating a stable opportunity within the organization without a predetermined end date. The role does not offer a per diem.
