Clinician Youth Act

Overview

Are you a passionate, mission-driven mental health clinician who thrives in fast-paced, community-based work? Do you want to be part of a new initiative designed to deliver intensive support to youth and families when they need it most?

Astor Services is launching an innovative program called Youth ACT (Assertive Community Treatment) within our Crisis Services Department, and we're looking for a skilled Mental Health Clinician to help bring this vision to life.

As a Youth ACT Clinician, you’ll play a pivotal role in transforming the lives of youth and their families. You’ll provide compassionate, high-quality assessment and treatment that meets each child and family exactly where they are—clinically, emotionally, and within their unique family system. Every intervention is personalized, strength-focused, and rooted in evidence-based practices to ensure meaningful, lasting impact for the youth and caregivers we serve.

What You’ll Do:

• Provide home- and community-based assessment, treatment planning, individual & family therapy, and crisis intervention.
• Deliver highly individualized, evidence-based interventions tailored to the complex needs of each child and family.
• Collaborate closely with a supportive team to respond rapidly and adjust care as needs evolve.
• Maintain clear, timely clinical documentation.
• Rotate in the team’s 24/7 on-call, over the phone crisis intervention coverage to ensure continuous care for enrolled clients.

• This role is perfect for a clinician who values flexibility, teamwork, and the ability to make immediate, life-changing impact.
• Be part of a new program where your voice, creativity, and clinical insight shape the work from the ground up.
• Work with an engaged, supportive leadership team.
• Be part of a mission-driven organization that values collaboration and innovation.
• Work in a supportive environment where your contributions directly impact youth and families.
