About the role

Cambridge Health Alliance (CHA) is seeking a Milieu Counselor for the Somerville campus to support a secure inpatient psychiatric unit. Under RN supervision, you will assist with daily living activities, run therapeutic groups, and monitor patient safety. You will document vitals, intake/output, and notify nurses of changes. The role emphasizes teamwork, crisis support, and adherence to policies in a 12-bed adolescent unit serving ages 12–18. Nights, weekends, and holidays apply.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
