To show our commitment to you and to assist with your transition into our organization, we will also offer up to a $10,000 sign-on bonus, if applicable.

You. 

You bring your body, mind, heart and spirit to your work as a Behavioral Health Specialist/Workplace Violence Prevention Specialist. 

Your compassion is tangible: whether your patient is 18 or 85, they feel it in the hand they hold. Families feel it in your prayers. Colleagues feel it in your support.

You know when to move quickly. When to sit quietly. When to laugh loudly.

Youâ™re generous with your thoughts, your partnerships and especially your voice, because your opinion matters.

Youâ™re great at what you do, but you want to be part of something even greater. Because you believe that while individuals can be strong, the right team is invincible.

Healthy Living includes financial incentives, digital tools, tobacco cessation, classes, counseling and paid time off. We also offer financial wellness tools and retirement planning. 

We. 

Together weâ™ll align mission and careers, values and workplace. Weâ™ll encourage joy and take pride in our integrity. 

Weâ™ll laugh at each otherâ™s jokes (even the bad ones). Weâ™ll hello and high five. Weâ™ll celebrate milestones and acknowledge the value of spirituality in healing.

Weâ™re proud of what we know, which includes how much there is to learn.
