About The Position

The Non-Clinical Foundational Intern provides vital operational, administrative, and systems-level support to the agency while fulfilling pre-clinical or foundational field-hour requirements for behavioral health licensure and academic pathways. This role focuses on the structural and administrative backbone of mental health delivery—including client intake operations, intake gap applications, resource navigation, EHR data management, and facility support—without engaging in direct clinical diagnosis or therapy delivery.

Requirements

• Current enrollment in (or graduate of) an accredited Bachelor's or Master’s program in Psychology, Social Work, Counseling, Healthcare Administration, or a related behavioral science field requiring foundational non-clinical hours.
• Proficient in Google Workspace and Microsoft Office Suite.
• Strong understanding of mental health service structures and community resources.
• Outstanding written and verbal communication skills with strong time management abilities.
• Ability to handle sensitive, confidential client information with high ethical standards and selfdirection.

Responsibilities

• Assist with client onboarding, managing incoming inquiries via phone and electronic communications, and facilitating intake paperwork and GAP application processes.
• Research, map, and organize community-based social, health, and financial resources to support client care coordination.
• Upload, organize, scan, and maintain client records, mail, and administrative files within the Electronic Health Records (EHR) system while strictly maintaining HIPAA compliance.
• Coordinate physical and digital office operations, including room/space reservations, key distribution, office maintenance, and supply inventory tracking.
• Help track, distribute, and manage hardware/software technology needs for agency staff and clinical teams.
• Participate regularly in department administrative meetings, operations check-ins, and non-clinical business meetings.

Benefits

• A fixed, small monthly wellness stipend is provided to support personal selfcare and professional well-being.
• Flexible scheduling designed to meet and verify required academic or foundational field-experience hours.
