About The Role

Join a team that believes in possibility, not limitation. At Harbor Behavioral Health, we empower adults with severe mental illness through daily therapeutic rehabilitation that builds dignity, independence, and hope. Our team is growing, and we’re looking for a TRP Specialist — a Behavioral Health Professional who brings compassion, accountability, and initiative to every interaction.

What You’ll Do

  • Lead daily group sessions on self-care, emotional regulation, community engagement, and job skills
  • Support clients with discretion and compassion during hygiene-related needs
  • Drive clients between personal care homes and our program (up to 4 hours/day in a company vehicle)
  • Document client participation and progress with accuracy and clarity
  • Help keep the facility “tour-ready”—safe, clean, and welcoming
  • Collaborate with clinicians and providers to deliver wraparound care

We’re looking for individuals who embody integrity, curiosity, and heart — people who are proactive, adaptable, and mission-driven.

At HBH, adaptability is essential. We’re a mission-driven team that constantly improves. “This is how we’ve always done it” isn’t part of our vocabulary — we’re always learning, iterating, and building better ways to serve our clients.

Ideal Traits

  • Skilled in group facilitation, behavioral support, and crisis response
  • Clear communicator who values candid, supportive feedback
  • Calm, reliable, and steady in fast-paced situations
  • Organized, dependable, and fully present for clients

Why Work With HBH

  • Employer-paid health insurance after the probationary period
  • Optional vision and dental insurance (employee-paid)
  • PTO and 11 paid federal holidays
  • Professional development support and opportunities for advancement
  • Supportive culture where feedback, growth, and purpose are part of everyday life

Schedule

  • Full-time, 8-hour day shifts
  • Some weekends and holidays are required
