We are looking for therapists joining our provider team.

Mental health for today’s family.

Manatee is a family-first, virtual mental health clinic, designed for kids living in the modern world. We’ve put our heads together to create the best mental health care for families.

Imagine a world where every child feels understood and supported. Where mental health is not taboo. Where families and therapists work together and build relationships. A world where mental health care is engaging and effective for children. Join us as we build care for the modern family!

Our care focuses on:

• Providing care for the whole family, not just the child
• Building and deepening the parent-child connection
• Using clinically validated assessments and technology to supercharge progress

Job Overview:

We are growing our associate program in New Jersey! As an integral member of the clinical team, you will work with phenomenal providers and clinical supervisors to deliver evidence-based care to children and families. You will also play a critical role in identifying the needs and objectives of Manatee’s families, our parenting programs and content for our digital products.

About the role:

We are looking for a passionate New Jersey pre-licensed Social Work therapist to join our clinical team. In this exciting role, you will deliver care to children and parents while championing our evidence-based mental health programs and our innovative approach to supercharging therapy. In addition, to drive your fulfillment, improve family outcomes and create a delightful client experience, we value your expertise to improve Manatee’s clinical care and digital products.

How you’ll spend your time:

• Provide evidence-based therapy to children, parents, and families (12 hours/week)
• Conduct clinical intakes and review progress measures
• 1:1 meetings with supervisor and group supervision
• Use the Manatee platform to develop and monitor treatment plans and client progress
• Assist in translating latest clinical best practices into actionable and feasible engaging clinical content (activities and interventions)
• Maintain up-to-date documentation and pertinent data in EHR
• Collaborate with clinical team to continuously improve our programs and services
• Provide valuable feedback and insights to product and design teams
• Help Manatee grow and thrive by contributing with your strengths, experiences, and passions (e.g. host live roundtables for parents, public speaking opportunities, contribute to blog posts and articles)

Requirements:

• Passion for working with children and families
• 2+ years of experience providing therapy to children and families
• Great clinical skills and experience providing evidence-based therapies
• Afternoon (after 3.30pm) or weekend availability to meet with kids & families 3-5 days a week

You’ll be successful with us if:

• You are flexible, creative, and curious about how mental health could be for kids and families
• You have afternoon and evening availability to meet with kids & families
• You are highly organized and a self-starter; able to multitask and be efficient in ambiguous situations (important when working in a startup environment)
• You have a low ego and a sense of humor
• You have a desire to learn and share your knowledge with clinical and non-clinical colleagues

What’s in it for you?

• Regular supervision with highly experienced clinicians who are interested in helping you succeed. You’ll learn a ton!
• Flexible work schedule and ability to work from home
• We promote work/life harmony and ongoing self-care
• Work with a supportive team that is deeply committed to improving the life of children and families
• By joining us at this stage, you have the unique opportunity for growth and to become a key player in how Manatee challenges the pediatric mental health status quo and pushes the field forward
• Work with a super ambitious, international and smart team (at least we'd like to think so)
• Staff positions are available post-licensure for associates in good standing

In addition to finding people who are truly excellent at what they do, we take our values at Manatee seriously:

We believe

• Children are our future
• All good things die in the comfort zone
• Diversity is our superpower, not our weakness
• Be kind whenever possible, it’s always possible
