POSITION DESCIPTION:
Multisystemic Therapy for Problem Sexual Behavior (MST/PSB) is a clinical adaptation of Multisystemic Therapy that is targeted to adolescents who have committed sexual offenses and demonstrated other problem behaviors. MST/PSB has been proven effective at decreasing problem sexual and other antisocial behaviors and out-of-home placements. MST/PSB is an intensive, ecological intervention that is directed at youth and their families, with the collaboration of community based resources such as caseworkers, probation/parole officers, and school professionals.

Applewood Centers is currently hiring a clinical supervisor for our MST/PSB team. Under administrative direction, this position provides guidance, instruction and direct supervision to one assigned MST team. As the MST Clinical Supervisor, you will monitor, review and document staff activity. You will also facilitate clinicians' acquisition and implementation of the conceptual and behavioral skills required in MST that are critical to attenuating and eliminating identified problems and achieving positive, sustainable outcomes. The MST/PSB Clinical Supervisor will provide limited direct services to MST clients, as the teams build, through direct delivery of intensive in-home services to youth and their families via use of the Multisystemic Therapy model.
