If you're looking for a desk job, this isn't it. This is not your average 9-to-5.

If you're looking for a career that is fast-paced, challenging, meaningful, and unlike anything you experienced in graduate school, keep reading.

At Catholic Charities' Mobile Response & Stabilization Services (MRSS), every day is different. One moment you're helping a family navigate a behavioral health crisis, the next you're collaborating with schools, hospitals, DCPP, PerformCare, law enforcement, and community providers to help keep a child safely at home.

• Crisis Intervention Specialist certification
• Working with children, adolescents, and families with diverse behavioral health needs
• Community-based clinical work across Hudson County
• Collaboration with schools, hospitals, PerformCare, DCPP, CMOs, IIC providers, and other Children’s System of Care partners
• Intensive clinical supervision, mentoring, and ongoing professional development

If you thrive under pressure, love learning, enjoy thinking on your feet, and want every day to challenge you to become a stronger clinician, this is the opportunity for you.

Who should apply: We're looking for Bachelor's and Master's level graduates in Social Work, Counseling, Psychology, or related Human Services fields who are passionate about helping children and families. A driver’s license and the ability to work with families in their homes is required.

Knowledge of the NJ children’s system of care and Hudson County resources is helpful but not required. Previous experience working with children and families is a plus.
