We search for the best employees possible and are currently seeking a Full Time Student Services Coordinator to provide administrative support to Goodwill’s Trauma-Informed Behavioral Health Program.

The Student Services Coordinator is responsible for guiding youth ages 10-24 and families through Goodwill’s Trauma-Informed Behavioral Health Program (Revive) as well as assisting them with accessing additional resources throughout the community. This individual works closely with the rest of Goodwill’s Youth Services team, as well as many partner agencies, to coordinate and schedule a range of services, including screening, assessment, psychoeducation, therapeutic supports, and service and resource navigation to youth in need. There will also be opportunities to educate families and community members on trauma and mental health. The ideal candidate will have excellent interpersonal skills to provide compassionate and culturally-responsive communication to clients from a wide range of backgrounds. They must also possess the organizational and computer skills to keep track of a wide array of client information and appointments. This is a Monday-Friday position with no on-call or crisis response, though occasional evenings may be required. Some job duties will take place at our Goodwill Commons facility, while many other activities will occur at our school and agency partner sites. While they report to and work closely with their department’s Program Manager, the Student Services Coordinator often must perform their job duties autonomously and be able to make educated, ethical decisions regarding programs and participants while away from leadership. Qualified candidates will have at least 4 years of combined experience and/or education in the fields of psychology, social work, community healthcare, behavioral health, education, or similar settings. Experience with high-risk youth and adolescents, trauma-informed care, and/or community-based mental health programs preferred.
