Job Title:
Counseling Resident 1
Job Description:
The Residency Program at Scout provides residents an opportunity to refine and grow their clinical skills in the post grad, pre licensed stage of their career while being a part of a team. If you are a provisionally licensed mental health professional seeking licensure (LMFT or LPC), and willing to pursue licensure in TN, we would love to consider you!
Residents are expected to build a caseload of 20 + clinical hours per week. Additionally, residents are given responsibilities within the practice to develop as professionals, not just as clinicians. Residents support the team as a group practice by committing 2-4 hours of work per week related to such tasks. Residency is typically a three year process that is designed to mentor and shape clinicians who would like to start out their career in a private practice setting, and then become licensed members of the Scout Team.
Specific benefits include:
- Discounted supervision rates.
- Weekly group and individual supervision.
- Annual stipend for professional development.
- Guidance and help pursuing licensure requirements, including exam study, hour acquisition, documentation, etc.
- Professional development training, including weekly team professional development time and monthly individual professional development time.
- Team involvement and community with other residents.
- Moderate autonomy in scheduling.
- Incentives to continue professional growth and hit milestones in the licensing process.
While Christian faith integration is not required for clients, it is a component of the professional identity of those who are residents and practitioners at Scout, as well as training in marriage and family therapy/counseling. In this round of residents, we are particularly interested in hiring a male clinicians, marriage and family therapists, and play therapists, but open to all applicants.
If you are interested in applying, please submit your cover letter, resume, and the contact information of three references to tyler@scoutcounseling.com.
