About The Position

Looking for more than 'just a job'? Want to make a positive impact in the lives of our clients/patients? Do you want to work in a supportive and dynamic environment where you can grow your skills and advance your career? Join our team at PFH as a Behavioral Health Technician! As a Behavioral Health Technician, you'll play a crucial role in providing direct care and support to our clients/patients. Your responsibilities include active participation in the treatment team, ensuring program compliance, adhering to medication policies, assisting in the admission/orientation process, providing client education and support, and offering transportation assistance as needed. Brightli is on a mission to improve client care, reduce the financial burden of community mental health centers by sharing resources, a mission to have a larger voice in advocacy to increase access to mental health and substance use care in our communities, and a mission to evolve the behavioral health industry to better meet the needs of our clients. As a behavioral and community mental health provider, we prioritize fostering a culture of belonging and connection within our workforce. We encourage applications from individuals with varied backgrounds and experiences, as we believe that a rich tapestry of perspectives strengthens our mission. If you are passionate about empowering local communities and creating an environment where everyone feels valued and supported, we invite you to join our mission-driven organization dedicated to cultivating an authentic workplace. Brightli is forming a new behavioral health organization under a new model where multiple organizations are able to collaborate, share resources and system supports, increase recruiting and retention efforts, increase access to specialized care, and meet the growing demand for behavioral and addiction recovery care. Brightli’s top-line subsidiaries include Burrell Behavioral Health (Burrell), Preferred Family Healthcare (PFH), Southeast Missouri Behavioral Health (SEMO), Firefly, Adult and Child Health, and Places for People. While these organizations operate independently and are governed by separate board of directors, their operations and services benefit from this model. Alone, organizations may be able to navigate the current tumultuous healthcare environment, but we believe that together we can do so much more than survive. Our communities need us now more than ever, and by working together we are ready to answer their call for years to come.
