The overall mission of Tides is to provide services and supports that allow youth to live in a community-based setting. An "Agency Without Walls" our services are delivered in homes, communities, schools...wherever our youth are.

**Make a Real Difference — and Be Supported While You Do It**

Tides Family Services (TFS) is seeking a **Functional Family Therapy (FFT) Clinician** to join our community-based clinical team serving youth and families involved with child welfare, juvenile justice, and behavioral health systems.

At Tides, we believe families are the most powerful agents of change. As an **Agency Without Walls**, we meet families where they are — in their homes, schools, and communities — and provide evidence-based services that keep youth safely at home and connected to their supports.

If you’re passionate about **family systems work**, value **evidence-based practice**, and want to do meaningful work *without sacrificing supervision, support, or balance*, this role may be a great fit.

- **Strong Clinical Support**: Weekly supervision, monthly group consultation, and team-based collaboration
- **Community-Based, Flexible Work**: Autonomy in scheduling with meaningful in-home and community engagement
- **Professional Growth**: Ongoing FFT training, coaching, and opportunities to deepen family systems expertise
- ?? **Mission-Driven Culture**: Join a respected nonprofit consistently recognized as a *Best Place to Work*

### **What You’ll Do**

As an FFT Clinician, you will work intensively with youth and their families to address behaviors placing them at risk of out-of-home placement. Key responsibilities include:

- Conduct comprehensive **bio-psychosocial assessments** with youth and families
- Provide **in-home and community-based FFT counseling**, aligned with the national FFT model
- Collaborate closely with **caseworkers, behavioral assistants, and clinical teammates** to develop and monitor treatment goals
- Support families during **crisis and high-stress situations**, prioritizing safety and stabilization
- Track progress and outcomes using agency systems to support accountability and continuous improvement
- Build and maintain strong relationships with **schools, courts, and referral partners**
- Participate in required supervision, team meetings, and FFT consultations

**What We’re Looking For**

- Master’s degree and license: **MSW, LCSW, LICSW, or LMHC**
- 2–4 years of experience in behavioral health, human services, or community-based work
- Commitment to **family-centered, strengths-based practice**
- Ability to work flexible hours to meet family needs
- Valid driver’s license, insured and registered vehicle
- **Bilingual (Spanish, Portuguese, or Creole)** strongly preferred

### **Compensation & Benefits**

- **Salary range:** $64,00–$74,000 (based on experience, licensure, and language skills)
- Mileage reimbursement and required technology support
- Comprehensive benefits package
- Supportive, inclusive workplace culture

Compensation will be determined based on the candidate’s experience, education, language capacity, skills, and other qualifications relevant to the role, in alignment with organizational parity guidelines and market conditions.

**Join us and help families stay together — with the support you deserve.**
