The posting

Behavioral Health Technician I — Glick Recovery Campus The Centers | Cleveland, Ohio | Full-Time | Onboarding begins July 2026 Why The Centers? At The Centers, meaningful work is grounded in a culture where people feel valued. As a 2026 USA TODAY Top Workplaces winner — recognized nationally based entirely on employee feedback — we are an organization built on trust, purpose, and care. When you join us, you join a mission-driven team committed to transforming lives across the communities we serve. A New Era in Behavioral Health Crisis Care We are proud to be opening the Glick Recovery Campus (GRC) — Cuyahoga County's first 24/7, walk-in behavioral health urgent care and stabilization center — in partnership with Cuyahoga County and the ADAMHS Board. The GRC will include a Crisis Receiving Center, the Rosary Hall Withdrawal Management Unit, and a Crisis Stabilization Unit, offering individuals experiencing behavioral health and substance use crises a safe, welcoming alternative to emergency rooms, jail, or the streets. As a Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC) and Community Behavioral Health Center (CBHC), The Centers provides comprehensive care to medically underserved individuals — particularly those navigating mental health conditions and substance use disorders. We are currently recruiting Behavioral Health Technicians I (BHT I) to join our founding team at this landmark facility. About the Role The Behavioral Health Technician I serves as a frontline advocate for the individuals we serve, delivering person-centered, trauma-informed, and judgment-free care that honors each person's dignity, strengths, and recovery goals. Through empathic listening, skilled de-escalation, and hands-on support, the BHT I plays a critical role in creating a recovery environment where individuals feel safe, respected, and empowered to heal. What You Will Do Direct Care & Monitoring

Observe, assess, and document client behaviors, symptoms, and vital signs; communicate changes promptly to clinical staff

Implement safety protocols and trauma-informed interventions to prevent harm

Participate in physical intervention and restraint procedures when required, following established safety and care standards

Respond calmly and effectively to emergencies and behavioral crises

Maintain a clean, safe, and therapeutic milieu through environmental rounds and safety checks

Recovery Support & Engagement

Facilitate and support therapeutic activities and groups that strengthen coping skills, emotional regulation, and recovery partnerships

Provide consistent emotional support and encouragement, reinforcing hope, autonomy, and self-efficacy

Teach recovery and life skills using recovery-oriented tools

Transport individuals to community resources as needed

Collaboration & Documentation

Support admission and discharge processes, including client orientation, belongings inventory, and transition planning

Maintain accurate, timely documentation in the electronic health record

Working Environment This role is performed in a fast-paced, high-intensity crisis care facility. You will regularly work with individuals experiencing acute mental health and/or substance use crises. The role requires physical stamina — including the ability to stand and remain active for extended periods, respond quickly to crisis situations, and safely assist with patient management during behavioral emergencies per established training protocols. Emotional resilience is essential, and clinical supervision and peer support are provided to help staff process challenging experiences and sustain their wellbeing. Standard precautions, personal protective equipment, and infection control measures apply. Potential exposure to communicable diseases should be expected. Why Join Our Founding Team? Joining the GRC at launch is a rare opportunity to help shape the culture, standards, and practices of a first-of-its-kind facility in Cuyahoga County. You will work alongside a multidisciplinary team — nurses, clinicians, peer support specialists, and community partners — united by a shared commitment to meeting people where they are and helping them on the path to recovery. Ready to Make a Difference? If you are passionate about recovery-oriented care and want to be part of something transformative, we encourage you to apply. Onboarding begins July 2026.   Must be physically capable and willing to participate in all levels of deescalation with people present in Glick Recovery Campus crisis services. The Centers is an Equal Opportunity Employer. We celebrate diversity and are committed to creating an inclusive environment for all employees.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
