About The Position

Position Overview: Community Memorial Healthcare is hiring full-time master level behavioral health staff with excellent communication skills, clinical acumen, and passion for working with youth and their families. These positions play a key role in addressing behavioral health needs in primary care settings, improving access to services for children and their caregivers, and reducing health disparities among pediatric and vulnerable populations. The Pediatric Behavioral Health Interventionist (BHI) supports the implementation and coordination of the Collaborative Care for Youth Innovation grant. This position operates within a Collaborative Care Model (CoCM) and Primary Care Behavioral Model (PCBH), integrating behavioral health into pediatric and young adult primary care settings. The staff provides screening, assessment, brief intervention, care coordination, and referral for patients with behavioral, developmental, or psychosocial needs. The role emphasizes early identification, family-centered support, and seamless transitions to appropriate care across child, adolescent, and young adult populations (ages 0-26 years). The BHI staff is a core member of the collaborative care team. As a member of this team, you will work closely with primary care providers (PCPs), medical staff, psychiatric Interventionists, and other behavioral health professionals at Community Memorial Health to deliver comprehensive care that integrates mental and physical health. This position is based in Community Memorial Healthcare’s outpatient primary care clinics and does not include hospital or inpatient responsibilities. We are looking for clinicians who thrive in dynamic environments and demonstrate flexibility in meeting the needs of both patients and medical providers. If you are passionate about delivering person-centered care, enjoy variety in your daily work, and are committed to improving patient outcomes through team-based care, this position is ideal for you. Training and supervision hours for licensing may be available. This is a grant-funded position with a three-year term with possibility of extension.
