SUMMARY
The Behavioral Health Division is a community mental health and substance use prevention and recovery
program designed (under the direction of the IL Department of Human Services) to provide Grundy County
residents aged 7+ with therapy and psychiatric medicine.
Benefits include: No nights or weekends; 12-13 paid holidays per year plus vacation, sick and personal
time; paid continuing education and licensure fees, and many union benefits. Most importantly, a great
team atmosphere and a chance to make a difference for those who need it most!
The ideal candidate will work cooperatively with staff and partner agencies for the intervention,
assessment, education and treatment of clients seeking services related to mental health, substance use
and psychiatric medicine. Candidate will also work with Treatment Alternative Court programs (Mental
Health and Drug Court). Under the supervision of the Director of Behavioral Health, the candidate will be
capable of critical thinking, sound judgement and working independently, while quickly learning the
balance with teamwork for the optimal treatment of each client.
Though the primary focus of this position is psychiatric care, the candidate, as a Public Health Nurse, must
be available to be trained in and work with other public health programs of Grundy County, such as WIC,
Family Case Management, School Nursing and Communicable Disease.
