Job Overview
With a small and manageable caseload, our Masters level therapists offer great service to the people of Wahkiakum County. We work really well with our local doctors, school, EMS, courts, jail and law enforcement in our partnerships to help our clients. Our outpatient offices are a quiet safe place to meet clients. Your colleagues include case managers and peers who help meet the needs described in the client’s care plan.
Even here you will have bad days at work. Colleagues rally around each other on these days. After work Cathlamet and Wahkiakum are safe places to enjoy nature and to enjoy your neighbors. We only have 4,200 people, there is space to breathe. And no traffic lights. Here is a link to Wahkiakum County’s Chamber of Commerce site that has information about our proud history and the opportunities that we have for recreation and commerce. https://wahkiakum.us
During the pandemic we have, of course, been offering services remotely at times but we strongly prefer that clients meet us face to face if that can be done safely. We don’t offer positions that are full time remote.
We use Credible as our electronic medical record. Staff are issued laptops and iPhones that are maintained by the IT staff. Most tech issues are resolved very quickly.
Benefits? There is no expectation of working after hours or on-call except for those in our WISe program. Staff receive 11 paid holidays plus 2 days to take, paid, whenever they would like. Vacation and sick leave are accrued at one day per month (96 hours/year). That’s 13 paid holidays and 12 days of vacation! Our health insurance is a generous plan and the county itself often covers the cost of the employee and dependents depending on the plan you choose.
Why should you come work for Wahkiakum County Health and Human Services? We are small, your colleagues are great and they care for the clients. Your case load is comparatively small, and definitely manageable. We offer supervision to new grads and opportunity for therapists to develop new programs about which they are passionate.
