Compass Health Looking For Two Clinician II Positions

February 16, 2010

Dear MA Psychology Graduates,

I am a class of December 1989 MA Psychology graduate. I lost my job of the past 8 years working for TRAC Associates as a contractor for disabled veterans. I helped them get into college for a new career that was compatible with their disabilities and I also counseled veterans with PTSD. I was one day short of starting my 9th year with this company. Long story short, I was unemployed for 9 months and 13 days before I found a job. I was desperate and almost lost my home of the past 18 years.

Then I got a call from Compass Health to apply for a Clinician II position. Another agency that I had applied to had sent my resume to Compass. When I went to the first interview, they saw all of my experience over the past 30 years working in social services and commented on how much supervisory experience I had. They asked me if I would like to apply for a management position. Since I live alone and need more money, I readily agreed. I was hired on as the Intensive Outpatient Manager, Program #41700 on Broadway in Everett. I started on 12/14/09.

Since then I have lost 2 Clinician IIs, who had applied to other Compass programs before I came. I am in desperate need to fill these 2 positions ASAP. I thought of contacting Antioch immediately. Although the pay is not very much as advertised, there is overtime and mileage, which can add up to much more. This would be a GREAT job for recent graduates, as it would offer a wealth of experience working with the severely mentally ill, personality disorders, and chemical dependency. You would be a case manager and gain all of the knowledge needed to become a good case manager. You would have frequent on-going trainings and also have the chance to transfer to other program options in the future. Compass Health is huge and employs close to 600 employees. There are many great benefits including training monies each year. This job would also be good for experienced staff who are desperate for employment.

To apply, Google Compass Health and click on the ‘employment’ option. Scroll down to ‘Snohomish’ and then scroll down to ‘Clinician II, Everett Program #41700 which is my program. Send your resume to:
Compass Health-Human Resource Dept.
1100 S. 2nd Street
Mt. Vernon, WA 98273
In left hand corner of the envelope put, Attn: Cindy Carlson-Manager IOP

I am an excellent supervisor and will treat you well. I have many years of experience and have much knowledge to impart. I would love for Antioch graduates to be members of our great team. As soon as I get your information I will contact you to set up an interview. I am also an MHP and this June will get my LMHC certification, which comes in handy for those of you who may need hours supervised by a LMHC.

Thank you and hope to hear from you soon.

Cynthia Carlson-MA, MHP
