Benefits That Support You (Not Just Your Job):

At Wellspring, we know you can’t take care of others if you’re not supported yourself. That’s why we offer a benefits package designed to protect your health, support your life outside of work, and give you the freedom to focus on what matters most: helping people recover and thrive.

The Benefit That's Hard to Find:

One of the biggest reasons our employees stay at Wellspring is something harder to list on a benefits sheet: you can actually make and see your impact here.  We pride ourselves in being large enough to make a difference and small enough that your voice matters.  Being a mission-driven nonprofit with a collaborative culture, employees have the ability to:

• Work autonomously
• Advocate for clients
• Implement ideas quickly by working closely with those who can make fast decisions
• Focus on care rather than bureaucracy

In other words, less red tape and more meaningful work.

Health:

• Medical insurance with employer contributions
• Dental and vision coverage fully paid for employees (single premium only)
• Health Reimbursement Arrangement (HRA) to help offset medical expenses
• Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA) for healthcare and dependent care
