Key Responsibilities:

  • Social Skills Groups: Lead or support social skills development groups, helping students improve interpersonal skills, conflict resolution, and self-regulation.

  • Parental Communication: Act as a liaison between the school and parents, providing updates on student progress, offering recommendations, and supporting parent education in relation to their child’s mental health and developmental needs.
  • Behavioral & Emotional Counseling: While less focused on individual counseling mandates, provide essential guidance to students who require mental health support or emotional regulation.
  • Crisis Management: Provide immediate support and intervention in crisis situations involving students, utilizing appropriate de-escalation techniques and strategies.
  • Collaboration: Collaborate with the school leadership, teachers, and outside professionals to create an inclusive and supportive environment for all students.
  • Staff Support & Resources: Serve as a resource for faculty and staff by providing insight into best practices for supporting students with unique emotional and behavioral needs.

Qualifications:

  • Master's degree or higher in Psychology, Social Work, or a related field.
  • Licensed or certified mental health professional (LCSW, LPC, or equivalent).
  • Proven experience working with students with LBLD, ADHD, and other learning differences.
  • Excellent communication skills, with the ability to interact effectively with both staff and parents.
  • Compassionate, patient, and understanding of the challenges faced by students with learning and behavioral differences.
  • Ability to maintain confidentiality and adhere to ethical standards in professional practice.
  • Experience in a school or educational setting is preferred, but not required.

Benefits:

  • Competitive salary based on experience
  • Professional development opportunities
  • A supportive and collaborative working environment
  • 401k match
  • Contribution towards health benefits

How to Apply:
Interested candidates are encouraged to submit a cover letter and resume outlining their qualifications and experience to info@gesheryehuda.org. Please include "Mental Health Professional Application" in the subject line.

We look forward to hearing from candidates who are passionate about supporting students and contributing to a positive, inclusive school community!
