Job description

Overview

Make a difference in the lives of our military Service Members and their families with your expertise in counseling and behavioral health - without the fuss of insurance or paperwork. Military and Family Life Counselors (MFLCs) are the first line of defense for our Service Members' mental health, and we need flexible, ready-to-serve counselors willing to jump in at a moment's notice.

Leidos seeks passionate licensed mental healthcare providers ready to embrace a flexible PRN-type schedule, stepping in where needed across military installations and communities to safeguard and enhance mental well-being. MFLCs proactively provide counseling services, preventative in nature, to address and provide solution-focused approaches to issues before they become greater challenges. Interested counselors may support either adults or minors in a wide variety of assignments including but not limited to being embedded with a military unit, supporting military families, or working within a school setting.

What is Mission Ready Reserve (MRR)?

Mission Ready Reserve MFLCs are trained and available counselors ready to serve when called upon. Working as a Mission Ready Reserve MFLC allows counselors to focus wholeheartedly on their passion for helping others, without the administrative burdens. Mission Ready Reserve counselors are assignment ready and taking an assignment is at the discretion of the Mission Ready Reserve counselor.

The Mission Ready Reserve Team has a backfill (fill-in) position for an existing MFLC who is taking a leave of absence. In this position the MFLC serves Service Members and their families in Kingsville, Texas. This is an interim position from the MFLC Program and provides an opportunity to positively impact those who serve our Nation while getting to experience what it is like to be an MFLC.

With additional opportunities to support other short-term assignments throughout the program year.

MRR MFLC Service Oriented Model

The Mission Ready Reserve model allows you to focus on your counseling and the military Service Members and the families you will be supporting. Counselors have:

• No insurance to file.
• No progress notes required.
• No treatment plans to develop.
• Intuitive reporting tools

MRR MFLC Benefits

• Unlimited and free CEUs through a Leidos affiliate.
• Reimbursement for job-related license renewal fees.
• Eligibility to participate in 401K retirement plan.
• Referral incentives.
• Access to health and wellness programs with cashback incentives.
• Access to Leidos' Employee Discount Program and exclusive discount marketplace.

MRR MFLC Responsibilities

• Face-to-face counseling to military service members and their families (individual, couples, family, and children).
• Recommending appropriate referrals and handoffs based on your experienced differential clinical skills to military and community resources according to the needs of military service members and their families.
• Offer presentations to address social skills development and social emotional learning that is crucial for childhood early development.
• Build rapport with service members, spouses, and children by attending installation and community events.
• Help families and children with challenges that are particular to the military community, transitions, reoccurring moves, frequent separations, deployments, and more.

Environment

At the direction of the Department of Defense (DOD), duties are performed in multiple indoor locations (approximately 60%) and outdoor locations (approximately 40%). The indoor locations are located within a military installation, a school setting, or a child development center (CDC) setting controlled by the DOD. The outdoor locations frequently involve traversing over uneven grassy, gravel, and/or dirt areas, ascending/descending stairs, and exposure to the weather. CDC settings frequently involve sitting on the floor to interact with children for up to two hours at a time. As a Mission Ready Reserve MFLC, you may experience various environments depending on the assignment.

How to make an impact

Pay Range: $38/hr - $45/hr.

Come break things (in a good way). Then build them smarter.

We're the tech company everyone calls when things get weird. We don't wear capes (they're a safety hazard), but we do solve high-stakes problems with code, caffeine, and a healthy disregard for "how it's always been done."
