The posting

The MH Tech plays a critical role in supporting clients experiencing serious mental illness (SMI) and co-occurring substance use disorders. This position is designed for experienced mental health professionals who are comfortable working with individuals experiencing schizophrenia spectrum disorders, bipolar disorder, psychosis, severe mood disorders, chronic suicidality, personality disorders, and other complex psychiatric presentations.

As a MH Tech, you will serve as a consistent presence and trusted support for clients while helping maintain a safe, structured, and recovery-oriented environment. You will work closely with clinical leadership to monitor client wellbeing, identify early warning signs of psychiatric decompensation, respond to crises, and support clients in building stability and independence.

This role requires professionalism, emotional intelligence, strong boundaries, sound judgment, and a commitment to upholding safety and structure within the residence.

Founded in 2017 by Zac Clark and Matthew Rinklin, Release Recovery is a leading provider of transitional living, outpatient treatment, and recovery support services for individuals experiencing substance use and mental health challenges. With programs throughout New York City and Westchester County, we are committed to offering compassionate, structured, and evidence-based care that empowers individuals and families to heal and thrive.

  • Administer drug and BAC testing and support medication monitoring procedures.
  • Conduct room searches and monitor for contraband in accordance with program protocols.

Program Operations

  • Maintain structure within the home by facilitating daily schedules, programming, and client accountability.
  • Monitor attendance and engagement in clinical and community programming.
  • Support new admissions and client transitions.
  • Attend staff meetings and contribute to ongoing training opportunities.

Requirements

  • Minimum of 5 years of experience working with individuals experiencing serious mental illness.
  • Experience supporting clients with schizophrenia spectrum disorders, bipolar disorder, psychosis, severe mood disorders, personality disorders, or co-occurring psychiatric and substance use disorders.
  • Strong crisis intervention and de-escalation skills.
  • Excellent communication, documentation, and interpersonal skills.
  • Ability to maintain professionalism and sound judgment in high-pressure situations.
  • Experience in psychiatric residential treatment, inpatient psychiatry, crisis stabilization, community mental health, supportive housing, or similar settings preferred.
  • Willingness to work evenings, weekends, and holidays as needed.

Benefits

Joining our team means being part of something truly revolutionary. We're on a mission to transform how the world understands and treats substance use disorder and serious mental illness. At Release, recovery isn't about what you give up—it's about what you gain.

When you join our team, you'll be:

  • Working alongside leaders in recovery and mental health
  • Making a direct impact on individuals and families
  • Enjoying a competitive rate of $20-$25 per hour, based on experience

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

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.
