## Description

Leidos is hiring licensed behavioral health professionals to join our Child and Youth Behavioral, Military and Family Life Counselor (MFLC) team to support Hill AFB.

Join the mission to support U.S. military service members and their families as they work through important military life adjustments while serving their country. The Child and Youth Behavioral Military and Family Life Counselor (CYB-MFLC) position offers a unique opportunity to serve a vital role, in providing non-medical support, which includes counselling, consultation, and outreach, to eligible faculty, staff, parents, children, and youth. Non-medical counselling is preventive in nature and aims to address and provide solution-focused approaches to issues before they become greater challenges.

**Responsibilities:**

- Work at installation Child Development Centres (CDCs) with children 0-5, before or after-school care centres for school-aged children, youth and teens on educational activities and appropriate developmental focus.

- Visually observe, participate, and engage in activities with children and youth; provide coaching, guidance and support to staff and parents; and model behaviour management techniques for staff and parents.

- Offer presentations to address social skills development and social emotional learning that is crucial for childhood early development.

- Promote creativity and positivity through approved materials.

- Build rapport with parents and families by attending installation and community events.

- Help children with transition adjustments, such as a new school and a new home.

- Participate in regular in-service training or other contract activities as assigned.

- Communicate information regarding trends and issues at assigned installation to Team Leads.

**Benefits:**

- No insurance to file.

- No progress notes required.

- No treatment plans to develop.

- iPad provided for easy digital reporting, with no PII or PHI.

- Paid federal holidays.

- Free and unlimited behavioural healthcare training.

- Reimbursement for job-related licence renewal fees.

- Eligibility to participate in 401K retirement plan.

- Centralised support through a Counselling Centre of Excellence that provides best practices, expert speakers, and state-of-the-art resources.

**Additional Job Duties May Include:**

- Responding to emergent situations in any physical location on a military installation.

- Traversing long distances to both indoor and outdoor locations, to manoeuvre through rugged, outdoor, or uneven locations (ascend/descend), and work in outdoor weather.

- Travelling to locations outside of a military base in a variety of physical environments.

- Due to the nature of working on military installations or related worksites, counsellors may need to comply with various site-specific requirements to work at designated locations.

**Environment:** At the direction of the Department of Defense, duties are performed in multiple indoor locations (approximately 60%) and outdoor locations (approximately 40%). The indoor locations are located within a child development centre (CDC) controlled by the Department of Defense. The outdoor locations frequently involve traversing over uneven grassy, gravel, and/or dirt areas, ascending/descending stairs, and exposure to the weather. CDC settings frequently involve sitting on the floor to interact with children for up to 2 hours at a time.

**Licensure Portability:** Under the recent National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), licensed Military and Family Life Counsellors may provide non-medical counselling services to military families at any location in a U.S. state, the District of Columbia, or a territory or possession of the United States, regardless of which state the counsellor is licensed in. Within the scope of the MFLC program, a counsellor may hold any independent and clinical licence recognised by the Secretary of Defense as an appropriate licence for the provision of non-medical counselling services.

**Minimum Requirements:**

- A master’s degree or higher in the Behavioural Health Professions (MS/MSW/MA/PhD).

- The candidate must hold a valid independent licence in the mental health field from any US state or territory (LCSW, MHC, MFT, LPCC, Psychologist).
