Mid Level
Seize a mission‑driven opportunity as a Behavioral Health Social Worker in Bethel, Alaska, where your expertise can transform the lives of individuals and families navigating complex behavioral health challenges. This role places you at the heart of compassionate care, collaborating with multidisciplinary teams to provide culturally responsive support, crisis intervention, and meaningful pathways toward recovery. As you step into this assignment, you’ll help clients access services, build resilience, and reconnect with hope in communities that value dignity and strength. The beauty of Alaska’s landscapes—untamed rivers, expansive skies, and vast wilderness—serves as a backdrop to your daily work, reminding you why this field matters. Bethel’s tight‑knit setting offers a unique blend of professional purpose and community connection.
Working in Bethel means more than steady professional engagement; it offers the chance to immerse yourself in a rich cultural landscape and to explore Alaska’s extraordinary outdoors. You’ll find opportunities to learn from Native elders and community leaders, engage in culturally informed treatment planning, and experience the warm hospitality of a region where people look out for one another. The location also means practical advantages for travelers—reliable housing support, a straightforward path to extended assignments, and the flexibility to collaborate with partners across the state when needed. For professionals seeking balance, Bethel offers a slower pace that allows deep, authentic client relationships alongside the exhilaration of remote, scenic environments that inspire both reflection and resilience.
On the clinical front, you’ll conduct comprehensive biopsychosocial assessments, identify risk factors, and develop person-centered treatment plans for individuals facing behavioral health and co‑occurring needs. Your duties include crisis intervention when safety concerns arise, coordinating with psychiatrists, case managers, school counselors, and primary care providers, and facilitating individual, family, and group interventions grounded in trauma‑informed and culturally responsive approaches. You’ll document progress in electronic health records, monitor outcomes, and ensure compliance with regulatory standards while preserving client’s privacy and dignity. The position offers competitive benefits, including a sign‑on bonus and housing assistance designed to reduce relocation burdens. You’ll enjoy guaranteed hours of 40 per week, with weekly pay ranging from $1,710 to $1,795, and opportunities to extend the assignment beyond the initial term. Start date is January 6, 2026, and the role is structured as a multi‑week engagement, with potential for continuation based on mutual fit and organizational needs. You’ll work with a supportive team that prioritizes your professional growth and provides structured supervision, ongoing training, and access to resources that bolster your clinical confidence and leadership capacity. And because travel can be demanding, you’ll benefit from 24/7 support from our company—removing barriers so you can focus on delivering high‑quality care.
Committed to empowering staff, the company champions career advancement through mentorship, cross‑disciplinary collaboration, and opportunities to contribute to system‑level improvements. You’ll join a culture that prioritizes ethical practice, cultural humility, and a positive, respectful work environment that recognizes your expertise and dedication. This is more than a job—it’s a pathway to broaden your impact, expand your skill set in behavioral health, and grow into senior clinical, supervisory, or program development roles within the organization.
