About The Position

Weekly outpatient therapy isn't always enough, and a trip to the ER isn't the only answer. Patients and their families rely on Compass Health Center when in crisis – every day, we help people overcome depression, anxiety, suicidality, obsessions/compulsions, trauma, chronic pain, and other obstacles in order for our patients to live freely. About This Role As Compass Health Center continues to grow, we're expanding access to care by launching a new onsite Evening Program, creating exciting opportunities for clinicians and leaders to make an even greater impact. We're seeking an Associate Director to help lead this new program, supporting both our team and our patients while continuing to provide direct clinical care. If you're passionate about developing clinicians, building a strong team culture, and maintaining your own clinical expertise, we'd love to have you join us as we expand our services to meet the needs of our communities. Our centrally located Chicago office is nestled in the vibrant neighborhood of North Center, not to mention the social events hosted on our fully furnished rooftop! This is a full-time position that is Monday through Friday with the specific schedule based on program needs. The scheduling will cover evening hours, 12:00-8:00 PM CST.
