Are you an energetic individual that embodies advocacy and innovation, teamwork and independence? If so, join our team in Utah’s frontier. This is a highly impactful role with the opportunity to help transform the lives of people trapped in the cycle of substance use and/or mental illness in the local communities.

The Frontier outpatient program serves small-town Utah. Its communities are rural and somewhat isolated by distance. The values of faith, hard-work, family loyalty and fierce independence permeate these communities. The people are welcoming and friendly but are careful to rely on newcomers until they know they can depend on you to stick around. You will provide both mental health and substance use services to young and old. You may travel to different locations and provide therapy outside the typical office. You will also provide some crisis services and help people get and stay safe. Some of your clients will be seriously mentally ill. Fortunately, you will work with a team including other clinicians, clerical staff, case managers, nurses and doctors. You will be able to rely on this team to help you help your clients be safe, get stable, and be as functional as possible. Never underestimate the good you can do in a small town.

As you come to love the communities you serve, you will also enjoy the beauty and peace that Utah’s frontier has to offer its residents.
