WORK 4-DAYS PER WEEK!

COME MAKE A DIFFERENCE--WE ARE LOOKING FOR DIFFERENCE MAKERS.

This position is to run our Intensive Outpatient Program. The counselor will be responsible for running the IOP that meets on Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday. Fridays are off. This is a four day a week position. The counselor will be responsible for completing the treatment plan, continued stay review, and transition/discharge for each client. A private office with your own bathroom will be provided. An at no cost, chef-prepared meal, will be provided for you each shift. You will have creative power over the IOP.

Top of the World Ranch sits on 315 acres just outside of the Quad-Cities. We offer a holistic treatment experience that is unique to the area and to the nation. The dedicated care coupled with the tranquil setting allows for optimal healing for those that we treat. We continue to hear from our clients about how we are different than other treatment centers. We are looking for individuals that can add to that experience that our clients boast about.

Do you find yourself wanting to be able to operate in more of a team atmosphere while also maintaining your creativity/individuality as a clinician? Do you find yourself wishing you could take the therapeutic process outside of the four walls? Do you want to work somewhere that puts the client and their experience first?

If so, Top of the World Ranch is the place for you.

At Top of the World Ranch you have the ability to take clients on hikes or on a kayak if you are finding that they are stuck. You have the ability to conduct groups outside. You have the freedom and flexibility to voice how to make the therapeutic process better for them.

Inpatient therapy can be difficult, but with our low case loads and team dynamics the workload is more than manageable. Direct service hours per week are 16 with a full case load. Our structuring allows for the work/life balance needed to be able to enjoy work and have the life you want outside of work.

We are hiring this position because we are growing and need another counselor. We offer competitive pay, benefits, and training.
