Job Title: Lead Mental Health Clinician
Location: East Palo Alto, CA | Onsite
Organization: The Primary School
Description: We are hiring a full time Lead Mental Health Clinician to work in our school program at our flagship East Palo Alto site. The Primary School was created on the belief that the current model of school is too narrow to support the needs of our highest risk children. Our model expands the boundaries of school to 1) start earlier (we admit children at 18 months), 2) integrate with socio-emotional and health supports, and 3) have deep engagement with parents. Our philosophy balances high expectations for all children with a trauma-sensitive approach that addresses holistic child outcomes (academic, health, and “soul”). When we speak of “Soul”, one of our core values, we highlight the importance of social emotional learning and mental health for all students. We are looking for a clinical expert to support this effort by providing direct mental health and wellness services and case management to students and families; assisting in the development and delivery of school-wide mental health and wellness interventions and programs.
Salary: $87,200 - $113,000
