Cornerstones of Maine is excited to announce an opening for a Admissions Counselor to manage our Admissions department. This role will require oversight of all applications to our residential mental health treatment program in southern Maine. The Clinical Admissions Counselor will review each applicant submitted to our program, speak with referral sources, connect with multiple collaterals, and work collaboratively with the treatment team to determine if an applicant is a good fit for the program. These duties will require a seasoned clinician, who is capable of developing a clinical picture of an applicant through interviews with collaterals and reviews of supporting mental health reports. Along with the primary responsibilities of Admissions, our Admissions Counselor will be responsible for managing relationships with referring professionals, organizing and overseeing tours of the program, and participating in the intake process. This is a hybrid position that will require regular visits to the Cornerstones of Maine program residences in Southern Maine.About us:Cornerstones of Maine is a boutique, private-pay, residential program that provides a suite of mental health support services to young adults.
