About the role
Encompass Community Services in Santa Cruz, CA seeks a Clinical Counselor for our Residential Recovery program. You will provide individual therapy, case management, crisis intervention, and group counseling to Drug MediCal eligible participants, using evidence-based practices like CBT, DBT, and mindfulness. You will collaborate with residential staff to deliver whole-person care, maintain documentation in EHR, and participate in supervision. AOD certification and mask-fit requirements 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.
