Behavioral Health Specialist

$19.5 - $23.5 per hour

Newport Healthcare

What You'll Do

The Behavioral Health Specialist (BHS) plays a vital, hands-on role in shaping the daily experience of adolescent and young adult patients in Newport Healthcare's behavioral health programs. As a frontline team member, you'll create a safe, structured, and compassionate environment where patients feel supported, seen, and empowered throughout their healing journey.


This role isn't just important; it's foundational. BHS team members are the heart of our care model, offering meaningful connection and stability that make a lasting difference in young people's lives. Key responsibilities include:

  • Creating a safe and supportive space by offering consistent, compassionate care and supervision that ensures patients' emotional and physical well-being
  • Guiding and encouraging patients as they move through their daily schedule-including therapy, group activities, meals, and moments of transition in between
  • Leading or supporting experiential activities (such as mindfulness practices, recreation, and group experiences) that promote healing and connection
  • Modeling calm, respectful behavior and healthy coping strategies in a way that builds trust and emotional safety
  • Staying grounded and responsive during high-stress or emotionally charged situations, helping restore calm through established strategies
  • Collaborating and communicating with team members to support a connected, unified care environment
What Makes You a Great Fit
  • A patient-first mindset that inspires you to reach the highest standards in supporting the young people in your care
  • Flexibility within a fast-paced, changing environment
  • Ability to remain calm and composed, and to make good decisions using a combination of analysis, wisdom, experience, and judgment
  • The capacity to listen attentively and actively, with patience, empathy, and cultural sensitivity
  • A collaborative team player who can find common ground, build trust with colleagues, and communicate effectively
  • A problem-solver who digs deep and uses all the information available to craft skillful solutions
  • Must be at least 21 years old, with a valid driver's license
  • High school diploma or GED required; bachelor's in psychology, counseling, or sociology preferred
