$5,000 Sign-On Bonus

Endeavor Health Services is seeking a Licensed Mental Health Clinician to join our Safe Options Support (SOS) Team, delivering Critical Time Intervention (CTI) to individuals experiencing street homelessness.

This is not a traditional clinic role. You’ll work as part of a multidisciplinary outreach team, engaging individuals in the community and supporting them through the critical transition from homelessness to stable housing—ensuring they build the supports needed to remain housed long-term.

Your Impact

Using the CTI model, you will provide structured, time-limited support across key transition phases:

• Engagement & Trust Building: Conduct assertive outreach in streets, shelters, hospitals, and community settings
• Transition to Housing: Coordinate housing placement, complete SPOA and other applications, and support move-in planning
• Stabilization: Provide short-term clinical support and strengthen connections to behavioral health, medical care, and community resources
• Transfer of Care: Ensure long-term supports are in place so participants can maintain housing and independence

What You’ll Do

• Deliver field-based outreach and engagement using trauma-informed, harm reduction, and person-centered approaches
• Provide brief, targeted clinical interventions aligned with CTI phases
• Collaborate daily with SOS teammates and community partners to coordinate care
• Participate in hospital discharge planning and care transitions
• Advocate for participants experiencing systemic barriers or healthcare inequities
• Support housing stability through ongoing check-ins and problem-solving with tenants and providers
• Supervise case managers and peer staff
• Complete timely documentation and contribute to data-informed care

What Makes This Role Different

• Structured around the evidence-based CTI model (not open-ended case management)
• Clear focus on housing transitions and time-limited intervention
• Team-based outreach model—you’re not working in isolation
• High-impact work with visible outcomes in the community

What You Bring

• Master’s degree or higher in Social Work, Mental Health Counseling, Nursing, or Psychology
• Active license (LMSW, LCSW, LMHC, RN, or equivalent)
• Experience providing mental health and/or substance use services
• Strong clinical assessment and engagement skills in community settings
• Ability to collaborate effectively within a multidisciplinary team

Preferred:

• Experience working with homeless or vulnerable populations
• Familiarity with Western New York systems and resources

Compensation & Benefits

• $55,276 – $68,776/year (based on experience and credentials)
• $5,000 sign-on bonus
• Medical, dental, and company-paid vision
• Company-paid life, AD&D, and long-term disability
• 401(k) with employer contribution
• Generous PTO + 10 paid holidays
• Employee Assistance Program + discounted pet insurance
• PSLF eligibility
• Clinical supervision toward advanced licensure
