Part‑time

Enhancing the quality of each person's life is our mission. Located in Bethel Park in Pittsburgh's South Hills and Lawrenceville, Southwestern Human Services offers a variety of programs for children, adolescents, adults, and families in the southwestern Pennsylvania area.

In addition to Behavioral Health Rehabilitative Services (BHRS), we offer Outpatient Psychiatric Services to children, adolescents, adults, and families including outpatient therapy, medication management, and social skills groups.

Southwestern Human Services is hiring part‑time Therapeutic Staff Support (TSS) for evening and weekend hours.

A TSS provides one‑to‑one behavioral interventions to children and adolescents in a team‑based service under the supervision of a master's level clinician. These services are delivered in the home, school, or community setting and vary based on the needs of each individual client. The TSS implements a child's treatment plan by working one‑to‑one with a child to improve behavior management and teach new skills. The TSS models, teaches, and coaches parents and caregivers in how to use approved interventions that will help the child maintain behavioral stability.

Services are intended to implement specific interventions to stabilize the client, provide support to the family, and promote age‑appropriate behavior. TSSs serve as an integral part of a collaborative treatment team working with the family and other professionals. A career as a TSS serves as a valuable and rewarding way to use your knowledge and experience to help change the lives of our clients and their families. Southwestern Human Services is seeking qualified individuals who are available during after‑school hours and weekends.

A TSS must obtain Act 33/34 clearances, FBI background check, have reliable transportation, and have evening and weekend availability.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's Degree in Psychology, Social Work, Counseling, Sociology, Education, Criminal Justice, or similar human service field
• Bachelor's Degree in any field, with 1 year of full‑time paid work experience with direct contact with children or adolescents
• Associate's Degree or 60 credits toward a Bachelor's Degree with at least 3 years of full‑time paid work experience with direct contact with children or adolescents
