Job Description

Our Mission:

The Village was one of the first agencies in the country to provide homes for neglected children. Today, we continue to achieve our mission “to build a community of strong, healthy families who protect and nurture children” by providing a full range of behavioral health, early childhood and youth development, substance use treatment and support services for children, adults and families in the Greater Hartford, Connecticut region.

Named a Connecticut Top Workplace for six consecutive years with national distinction for workplace culture and diversity, equity and inclusion practices, you can be sure you’re joining an organization that’s just as committed to your success as we are to those we serve.

Hours: Full Time

Starting annual salary $54,000 commensurate with experience.

Each clinician will serve as the parent-child clinician for six of the twelve families on a full caseload, and as the individual / substance abuse clinician for the other six of the twelve families. FBR Services will provide training in both components of the model to each clinician during the initial training. FBR Services will also provide ongoing training and support to each clinician during weekly consultations and quarterly training sessions. Driving is a requirement for this position.

Due to structure of in-home work, position can be flexible with schedule and allow for some telecommuting.

The two (2) clinician roles are as follows:

  1. Parent-child Clinician: The parent-child clinician will deliver interventions to facilitate positive parent-child interactions and optimal child development. The parent-child clinician’s main focus will be the parent’s relationship with the index child (age birth to 36 months) and the systems that interact with the index child. However, all children in the house will be assessed by the parent-child clinician for interventions and advocacy with systems (i.e., educational, medical, and legal).
  2. Individual/Substance Abuse Clinician: The individual clinician will deliver interventions that target parental sobriety and psychological well-being. She/he will engage the client in discussions and treatment for any co-morbid mental health issues and co-constructs treatment goals for sobriety, education, employment, healthy relationships, family communication, and legal issues.
