Qualified Mental Health Professional
About The Position
Thompson was founded in 1886 as an orphanage and has grown into an organization operating across the Carolinas, Florida, Tennessee, and Kentucky. Thompson’s continuum of care encompasses three domains: prevention, mental health services, and foster care. All Thompson programs are trauma-informed and evidence-based/evidence-informed with the intention of building resilience in our clients (ages 0-18) and their families, both virtually and in person. Our values are Excellence, Innovation, Commitment, Caring and Integrity. As a Qualified Mental Health Professional in the Family-Centered Treatment (FCT) department, you will work with children and teens who have acute mental health or behavioral challenges. A typical day as a Qualified Mental Health Professional will include meetings with families, discussing cases with residential FCT practitioners, and completing documentation. There is an on-call rotation for after-hours, weekends, and holidays. There will be a virtual team meeting on Monday afternoon and one hour of virtual individual supervision during the week. A one-hour skills lab occurs virtually on Fridays. Otherwise, you create your schedule based on the family’s availability. Most families prefer afternoon and evening appointments, as that is when children are out of school. As the community-based practitioner, you will need to be available on some weekends to complete sessions when the youth is home for a visit. This is an in-person service when possible. You are reimbursed for gas mileage.
