What are the responsibilities and job description for the Psychologist position at Carver County?
We are looking for a psychologist to provide therapy and assessment services to adults, children and families. To a lesser degree, this position also involves attending multi-disciplinary meetings, and interfacing with other Carver County departments.
We serve a diverse clientele and take pride in providing comprehensive and integrated clinical services. We have a full support staff team to assist with scheduling and phone calls. Since we have a contracted mobile crisis team, our outpatient psychologists do not have on-call responsibilities. Our clients have direct access to financial aid assessments, housing services, substance abuse assessments, both adult and children’s targeted case management, and school-linked mental health services.
Our team meets twice each week for multi-disciplinary case consultation. We have ample opportunities for continuing education and enjoy generous county-based health and retirement benefits. Since we are linked to county government, employees are also eligible to apply for Public Service School Loan Forgiveness. This position offers a competitive and negotiable salary.
We are proud of our positive work culture which involves respect, patience, amiability, cooperation, and solution-focused problem solving. First Street Center employees have strong working relationships across all departments. Executive administration visits our clinic on a regular basis to share information and gain feedback directly from clinical and supporting staff.
