Behavioral Health Clinician (32 or 40 hours w/sign-on bonus)

Orchid HealthEstacada, OR
$79,000 - $101,000Hybrid

About The Position

This position is for 32 or 40 hours/week (4 days with Tuesday - Thursday in clinic and 1 telehealth day on Monday or Friday). Orchid Health was founded over 10 years ago with the belief that the most effective way to improve the health of our communities is through integrated patient-centered care that takes the time to listen to and build trusting relationships with each patient. Our mission is to advance a new model for community health to thrive based on relationships, joy in work, and health equity. We achieve this by leaning into our four pillars and core values: Core Values: Challenge the Status Quo, Cultivate Respect, Courageously Vulnerable and Accountable. Four Pillars (in order of priority): Pillar 1: Employee Well-Being, Pillar 2: Trusting Patient Relationships, Pillar 3: Community Health, Pillar 4: Financial Sustainability. At Orchid Health, we’re moving away from traditional top-down management to something more human: self-management. Our teams work together to make most day-to-day decisions, without a clinic manager giving direction. Instead, team members take on shared responsibilities based on their strengths, hold each other accountable, and are supported by peers, coaches, and access to clear, timely information. This structure reduces bureaucracy, supports collaboration, and makes work more meaningful. We believe that the people doing the work are best positioned to lead it, and we’ve built our organization around that belief. Orchid’s team members have abundant opportunities to expand their professional skills in a supportive environment, participate in community outreach efforts, and enjoy a robust benefits package. Estacada is considered one of Oregon’s highest need areas when it comes to healthcare, and taking this position will be making a huge difference in a community that truly needs and appreciates its healthcare providers. The Behavioral Health Clinician supports the vision of healthy rural communities and accessible, integrated care by providing compassionate, person-centered behavioral health services within a primary care setting.
