  • Provide referrals to court-involved youth and their families for behavioral health services in their communities, and other supports or services as needed
  • Other duties as assigned by Program Director

Required Qualifications

  • Social Work degree at the Masters Level
  • Licensed to practice social work in MA
  • Knowledge and experience working with children, adolescents, and families
  • Strong writing, interpersonal, and communication skills
  • Commitment towards racial and social justice and equity, including a culturally humble approach to clinical work
  • Credentialed as a Certified Juvenile Court Clinician (CJCC I) per 104 CMR 33.00 OR eligible to be certified (which is typically met if other job requirements are met). Supervision and training for CJCC certification will be provided at no cost.
  • Applicant must be able to assume employment in the U.S. without College sponsorship

  • Bilingual fluency (Spanish/English)
