About the role

Swords to Plowshares is seeking a Mental Health Specialist to deliver direct services for housing retention, including substance use and mental health interventions. You will manage a veteran caseload, provide individual and group counseling, and advocate for residents' needs within a supportive housing program. Responsibilities include data collection for reporting, collaborating with VA and community partners, and maintaining clinical charts in HMIS.

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.
