Adult Assignment Ready Counselor (ARC) - MFLC
About The Position
Blue Rose Consulting Group is seeking an Assignment Ready Counselor (ARC) to provide temporary Military and Family Life Counseling (MFLC) coverage for service members and adult military family members at Camp Atterbury, Indiana. This is an on-call, as-needed opportunity, not a regularly scheduled full-time assignment. ARCs may be offered coverage when program needs arise, after completing required credentialing, screening, background investigation, federal and installation suitability and access processes, and assignment-specific prerequisites. Assignments may last from short coverage periods to longer temporary needs; availability is confirmed before each assignment. Placement in the ARC pool does not guarantee assignments, minimum hours, or a regular schedule. Coverage is subject to installation operating schedules and authorized program requirements. The counselor provides brief, solution-focused, non-medical counseling and consultation within the MFLC program scope, along with approved educational briefings, outreach, and resilience-building presentations. Concerns requiring clinical treatment or specialized services are referred through approved channels. The role also involves coordination with installation Points of Contact, program leadership, and other authorized stakeholders, while maintaining confidentiality, professional boundaries, and required documentation in accordance with DoD and contract requirements. Candidates must be U.S. citizens and able to meet all applicable training, suitability, credentialing, background, and installation-access requirements.
