Mid Level
Embark on a rewarding journey as a Mental Health Technician in Vermont’s Rutland region, where compassionate care and natural beauty come together to create an inspiring work environment. In this dedicated travel assignment, your skills will support patients navigating complex behavioral health needs, while you mentor and collaborate with interdisciplinary teams to deliver person-centered care. Your contributions will help families regain stability, reduce crises, and build lasting resilience. Rutland offers the warmth of a close-knit Vermont community, with easy access to hiking trails, mountain views, and charming local eateries. When you’re ready for fresh experiences, this opportunity can also open doors to other locations across the United States, expanding your professional horizons while you continue to grow in a supportive, patient-centered setting.
Working in Rutland gives you the best of both worlds: a welcoming town atmosphere and proximity to outdoor recreation. Vermont’s fall foliage, winter sports, and seasonal activities create a backdrop that supports your well-being and work-life balance. You’ll join a community that values empathy, respect, and teamwork, with access to continuing education and networking opportunities in a state known for its commitment to mental health care. For those who crave variety, our travel model places you in multiple facilities nationwide, enabling exposure to diverse programs, populations, and treatment approaches while maintaining your guaranteed 40 hours per week.
Role specifics and benefits are designed to maximize impact, growth, and support throughout your travel assignment. Your day-to-day responsibilities will center on delivering high-quality behavioral health care, while you collaborate with clinicians to implement treatment plans, monitor patient safety, and respond effectively to crises. You’ll support assessment processes, assist with individual and group interventions, document progress, and help create therapeutic environments that foster recovery and autonomy. As you advance, you’ll have opportunities to deepen expertise in crisis intervention, trauma-informed care, adolescent and family services, and other specialty areas, with on-the-job training, certifications, and mentoring to equip you for broader roles within the field. The position also offers competitive benefits that recognize your dedication and versatility, including a sign-on incentive, housing assistance, and potential contract extensions to continue your meaningful work beyond the initial assignment. In addition, you’ll receive comprehensive, 24/7 support from a dedicated travel team—ensuring seamless logistics, rapid problem solving, and a steady hand as you move between assignments across the country. You’ll enjoy a stable schedule with guaranteed hours, and you’ll start on 03/08/2026 for a duration measured in weeks, with a consistent weekly pay rate in the range of $1,317-$1,336.
Key responsibilities and growth opportunities include:
- Direct therapeutic support and clinical collaboration: Provide compassionate, evidence-based care to individuals with mental health disorders, assist with assessments, contribute to treatment planning, and participate in rounds and care conferences to ensure coordinated, person-centered support.
- Safety, de-escalation, and crisis response: Maintain a safe therapeutic milieu, apply de-escalation techniques, monitor risk factors, and respond promptly to acute crises in collaboration with the care team.
- Documentation and care coordination: Record observations, progress notes, and care plans accurately; coordinate with psychiatrists, social workers, nurses, and family members to optimize outcomes.
- Professional development: Access ongoing training, pursue certifications, participate in specialty tracks, and expand your scope of practice to meet the evolving needs of diverse patient populations.
- Housing, logistics, and extensions: Benefit from housing assistance and the option to extend contracts, enabling you to deepen expertise in a variety of settings while maintaining stability and continuity of care.
- 24/7 company support: Rely on round-the-clock assistance from our traveling support team for scheduling, travel logistics, and on-the-ground needs, so you can focus on patient care and professional growth.
