About the job
At WelbeHealth, each participant of our program is guided by our interdisciplinary team (IDT) composed of clinical and non-clinical members who work cohesively to all-inclusive care to the most vulnerable senior population. Our core values and participant focus lead the way no matter what.

- Is trained using the Collaborative Care Management approach, strengthening communication, teamwork, and participant outcomes
We care about our team members. That’s why we offer:
- Medical insurance coverage (Medical, Dental, Vision)
- Work/life balance - We mean it! 17 days of personal time off (PTO), 12 holidays observed annually, and 6 sick days
- 401K savings + match
- Comprehensive compensation package including base pay and bonus
- And additional benefits!
On the day-to-day, you will
- Conduct behavioral health assessments to determine participants’ behavioral health care needs, preferences, and goals
- Actively participate in IDT meetings to develop discipline-specific goals and interventions for each participant
- Deliver and document behavioral health interventions as agreed upon in participants’ care plans, including but not limited to symptom management, counseling, crisis intervention, arranging necessary resources and services, assisting with care transitions, providing individual and group counseling, and care management
- Facilitate individual and group therapies such as art and music therapy, psychosocial drama, counseling, and discussion that restore or expand participants’ social roles
- Provide training on behavioral health symptoms and interventions to WelbeHealth staff
Job requirements include
- Master’s degree in behavioral health or doctorate degree in psychology required
- Licensed by state Board of Behavioral Sciences as an LCSW or licensed by the state Board of Psychologists as a Psychologist
- Minimum of five (5) years of behavioral health experience conducting therapy, completing behavioral health assessments, and managing care planning needs
- Minimum of two (2) years of experience with frail or elderly populations
We are seeking a Behavioral Health Specialist that ideally has PACE experience. If you’re ready to join a team that values both its participants and team members, we’d love to hear from you!
