At Ellie Mental Health in Framingham, we believe a well-run clinic is just as important as compassionate care. We’re looking for a detail-obsessed, people-friendly multitasker to keep our daily operations flowing, our referrals moving, and our clinic organized and welcoming. If you’re the kind of person who finds joy in turning chaos into checklists, loves making systems run like clockwork, and can juggle a ringing phone while keeping a smile in your voice, we want to meet you! We are looking for someone who wants to be part of a fast-paced growing business that is providing access to mental health services to the MetroWest communities.
