About the position
Are you interested in making a life-saving difference for children and adolescents? Would you enjoy being part of a team working to change the world for the better? If you answered YES, then consider joining our Devereux Advanced Behavioral Health team! Plus $3,000 Sign-On Bonus! In response to the humanitarian crisis at America's ports of entry, Devereux provides short-term shelter care services for unaccompanied children who have come to the United States without a parent or legal guardian. Devereux will provide extremely high-quality, trauma-informed residential and educational services for unaccompanied children, with intense supports for their social and emotional health. We will also ensure they receive excellent and immediate physical healthcare including pediatric, dental and nutritional supports for every child. Devereux's ultimate goal is to ensure every unaccompanied child who receives our services is successfully and quickly discharged into the loving care of their family sponsor and, during the short time they are with us, have received best-in-class medical, therapeutic, recreational and educational services designed specifically to address the traumas they have sustained during, and often before, their migration journey. This is a very high benchmark to set, but we have already begun partnering with leading legal defense nonprofits to ensure children in our care have access to the finest immigration advocates and supports our country offers.

As a Bilingual Lead Clinician at Devereux, you will be a critical part of a multi-disciplinary team of dedicated, experts who share your passion for helping children in need.
