About Partial Hospitalization
There are times in some children and teen’s lives when they may need help managing activities at school and home, but do not need the structure of an inpatient psychiatric hospital. For times such as these, Cincinnati Children’s Division of Psychiatry provides a Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP).
Children attend PHP at one of Cincinnati Children’s locations during the day and spend nights and weekends at home. This program is designed to help meet the individual needs of the child.

We are recruiting a Social Worker for our Neuro PHP, to work 40 hours per week, Monday-Friday from 8:00AM-4:30pm. Ideal candidates will have their MSW, and be licensed in the State of Ohio. Candidates with previous experience are preferred.

This position is benefits eligible.
