Job description

Some careers are just jobs. This one is different. At Georgia HOPE, the work you do every day creates meaningful change for children, families, and individuals who need it most.

We're a Georgia-based behavioral health provider on a mission to instill hope, empower lives, and strengthen communities. Our team specializes in supporting individuals facing emotional and behavioral challenges—often those who have experienced trauma, instability, or significant life stressors. We deliver services directly in the homes, schools, and communities where our clients live and grow, because real progress happens when care is personalized, strengths-focused, and meets people where they are.

As part of the Health Connect America family—a COA-accredited organization serving children, families, and adults across nine states—you'll have the resources, support, and professional development of a larger organization, paired with the close-knit, mission-focused culture that defines our work.

If you’re looking for a career where your impact is visible, your growth is supported, and your work truly matters, you’ll find it here.

If you're someone who believes progress happens through consistent support, real-life skill building, and meaningful human connection, this role was built for you.

• Assist with school, work, and family functioning by reinforcing practical, real-life skills
• Connect clients and families to community resources that support basic needs, stability, and long-term success
• Proactively support crisis prevention by helping clients develop safety plans and identify support systems

• Track service utilization and maintain accurate, timely documentation in the Electronic Medical Record (EMR) system
• Participate in team meetings, case staffing, and ongoing training to ensure high-quality service delivery
