Licensed or Associate Behavioral Health Clinician | Integrated Care

Description

If the idea of sitting in the same office all day makes you want to slowly spin in your chair… keep reading.

At Volunteers of America (VOA) Spokane, behavioral health happens where life happens — shelters, supportive housing, and medical respite. No clinic walls. No endless parade of 50‑minute sessions. No wondering if your work matters.

Just real clinical care with real humans.

We’re actively hiring associate‑level and licensed clinicians who want meaningful work, strong supervision, and a team that believes behavioral health should meet people where they are — sometimes literally.

VOA Spokane is a licensed behavioral health organization serving individuals experiencing housing instability through community‑based, wrap‑around care.

Instead of traditional clinics, our clinicians work directly inside VOA programs alongside case managers, SUD Professionals, peer support specialists, and housing teams.

Translation: you will never be on an island here.

Care is collaborative, trauma‑informed, and grounded in dignity.

This is behavioral health with no walls — and yes, sometimes that means you get more steps than your fitness tracker expected.

• Youth and young adults
• Veterans
• Adults in supportive housing
• Individuals transitioning from hospitals into medical respite
• People navigating acute mental health symptoms, substance use, and crisis

The Behavioral Health Clinician provides integrated, community‑based behavioral health services to participants enrolled in VOA programs.

• Associate‑level clinicians working toward licensure
• Fully licensed clinicians (LMHC, LMSW, LMFT, or equivalent)

Clinical supervision — including licensing hours — is provided through Motivo. (Because Googling “Am I doing this right?” should not count as supervision.)

This role is ideal for clinicians who want to move beyond traditional outpatient therapy and practice in real‑world settings where clinical care directly supports housing stability and recovery.

Full‑time | 40 hours per week

Typically, Monday–Friday between 8:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m., with flexibility based on program needs. Occasional evenings or weekends may be required — behavioral health doesn’t always watch the clock, but we work hard to support balance.

You won’t be siloed.

You won’t be stuck behind a desk all day.

You won’t spend your evenings wondering if you made a difference.

You’ll see it. Often immediately.

We are actively reviewing applications — which means this is not one of those postings that lives online forever.

If you want meaningful clinical work, strong supervision toward licensure, and a team that truly shows up for each other…
