Job Description

$5,000 Signing Bonus! $3,500 Bilingual Bonus! Immediately Hiring!

We're seeking a licensed clinician who combines professional excellence with genuine compassion to transform family outcomes. You'll bring advanced therapeutic skills directly into homes and communities, creating healing environments for children and families referred by the Department of Children and Families (DCF).

Your clinical license isn't just a credential—it's the foundation for your adaptable, strengths-based approach that helps families navigate complex challenges toward reunification or permanency planning. If you thrive in dynamic settings, find fulfillment in meeting clients where they are, and believe in every family's capacity for positive change, your expertise could become the catalyst that helps vulnerable families rewrite their stories.

About The Program

We intervene upstream by teaming up with families to stay together. Families in crisis are often facing real-world stressors, such as poverty. But the right combination of supports when they need it most can help build bridges to brighter days.Through our Support & Stabilization program, we provide intensive in-home supports to families involved with the Department of Children and Families (DCF) who are working to maintain or regain custody of their children. We provide services to alleviate the crises that brought them there, so that more families can stay intact and fewer children are placed into foster care.

The Impact You'll Create

As a Licensed Clinician guided by our Clinical Supervisor, you'll become the cornerstone of transformative care teams that change family trajectories. Your specialized therapeutic expertise will empower children and families as you collaborate seamlessly with HopeWell's resource teams and DCF partners in a unified mission of healing. Through trauma-informed individual and family therapy, you'll help clients rewrite narratives of pain into stories of possibility. Your clinical insights will inform case management strategies that connect families to vital community resources, while your advocacy ensures every child's voice is heard and honored. With each therapeutic relationship, you'll not only safeguard children's immediate well-being but also nurture the family resilience that creates lasting stability, turning professional standards into deeply personal victories for the families who need your expertise most.
