Mental Health Clinician - Clinical Intake (Psych, SW or OT)
Gladstone
Not your average mental health role, and that’s exactly the point.
This is where real conversations can change the course of someone’s day, or even their life. You won’t just tick boxes - you’ll support people through complex moments with thoughtful assessments, meaningful care plans, and genuine therapeutic engagement.
Expect variety: outreach, teamwork that actually feels like a team, and the chance to work across settings and alongside passionate professionals who’ve got your back. If you’re curious and compassionate, then this could be exactly what you’ve been looking for. Come for the challenge. Stay for the purpose. We need someone like you!
