Hiring Range: $19.55/hour-$24.44/hour

Use your clinical skills in a setting where dignity, compassion, and person-centered care come first. Blue Ridge Behavioral Healthcare is hiring a Clinician (QMHP) for our Carrington Cottage Memory Care Unit, supporting residents living with dementia and, at times, co-occurring mental health or behavioral challenges.

Why You'll Love This Role

• Make an impact advancing our mission of hope, recovery, and wellness.
• Collaborate daily with an interdisciplinary team (nursing, direct care, and leadership) to support stability and quality of life.
• Use evidence-based, person-centered care to reduce distress, strengthen routines, and promote independence in the least restrictive way.
• Build clinical expertise in assessment, planning, behavioral supports, and consultation.

What You'll Do

• Provide individualized clinical support for residents with dementia and related mental health/behavioral needs.
• Complete assessments and contribute to person-centered plans that promote dignity, stability, and maximum independence.
• Implement evidence-based behavioral supports, positive interventions, and structured routines.
• Coordinate with the interdisciplinary team to ensure consistent approaches across shifts.
• Coach staff on de-escalation and person-centered, trauma-informed engagement.
• Support independent living skills through planning, cueing, encouragement, and skill-building. This role is not responsible for directly completing ADLs (e.g., bathing, toileting, dressing, feeding), but may coordinate with direct care staff when ADL needs affect behavioral health.
