Position Summary:

JCCA is seeking a Clinical Supervisor to join the Multi-systemic Therapy Family Integrated Transitions (MST-FIT) program, serving at-risk youth who are currently in foster care placement, at the highest risk of recidivism and in need of comprehensive treatment. The model combines services delivered in the residential treatment setting, an approach called the Integrated Treatment Model (ITM), with MST-based aftercare to provide a smooth transition out of placement and back into the home.

The goal is to lower recidivism by empowering parents - assuring they have or develop the skills and resources needed, to address the difficulties that arise in raising adolescents with behavioral problems – and empowering youth to cope with family, peer, school, and neighborhood problems, promoting behavior change in the youth’s natural environment. MST-FIT treatment plans are designed jointly with family members and are family-driven rather than therapist-driven.

The ideal candidate will be an individual with supervisory and leadership experience, as well as strong mental health clinical training and experience.
