Please visit the DBH career page (here) to apply for this position as quick applications through sites like Indeed and others may cause delays as critical information is not required on those sites. Please remember to add email addresses for all references to avoid delays in the recruitment process.

A Spanish-language incentive stipend is available for candidates who successfully pass a Spanish-language assessment upon hire. Compensation The hourly rate for this position, based the established minimum qualifications, is outlined below: $19.25 per hour Compensation is based on the shift and related differential, so if an employee hired to work a swing shift moves to either a day or graveyard/weekend shift, the hourly rate is adjusted automatically in the payroll system.

The per diem is compensated on a monthly basis during the pay period in which the last day of the month falls. When an employee is called in during one of their on-call shifts, they are expected to arrive on the unit within 30 minutes of the call. When contacted to provide coverage before the start of a shift, the expectation is that the employee arrives at the scheduled start time of that shift. On-call shifts are considered scheduled shifts and employees must be available to work when called in. It is the responsibility of the employee to coordinate with the program supervisor if they are unable to fulfill their on-call shift due to illness or other circumstances. Per diem compensation will not be paid if an employee calls out during an on-call shift or does not respond when called.
