Hours for this part-time position are generally 8am-4pm, working two days per week. One day per week will be designated to each school. As a part-time employee, you'll be eligible for our 401(k) plan and employer match policy.

Quality mental health delivered with integrity is the first commitment we make to our clients. An additional commitment we make is to offer the option of Christian faith principles integrated with all we do in our Christian partner schools. It is an approach we are committed to delivering, and we train our staff to provide it. You will work in a unique environment where both your professional skills and your faith can grow.
Why work for Christian Family Solutions?
