Autonomy is Important

I appreciate that providers have the freedom to set their own schedules and develop their professional skills through the training stipend at CFS.

Growth and Improvement

CFS is dedicated to continuous growth and improvement for employees and to better serve our community.

An Opportunity to Grow

I pursued this job due to the training stipend offered as well as supervision for temporary licensed providers.

Best Team in the World

I have the best team at CFS and feel that we all support each other wonderfully.

Common Questions

Making a move in your career is an important decision. We have questions for you, but you probably have lots of questions about us too. Here are a few of the most common questions we hear from applicants. Feel free to reach out to our HR team if you have any additional questions.

Our culture at CFS is built around teamwork. No matter your role in our organization, your thoughts and ideas matter and we compile input from throughout the organization prior to making decisions. Our teammates support and uplift one another throughout the work day and beyond. At CFS, we are a team. 

Aside from our supportive culture, professionals choose to call CFS their (work) home because we offer an unparalleled environment for growth and opportunity. At CFS, everyone can unleash their potential!

After submitting your application, it will be reviewed by our HR team. Top applicants will then be asked to do an initial virtual interview with Human Resources. If successful, the final stage of the interview process will include an in person interview with the hiring manager/team for the role. Before extending an official job offer, we also require necessary background checks and credentialing verification.

At CFS we have a Credentialing Specialist on our team that guides candidates through the process. We will provide a list to you with the documents and information needed and then will navigate credentialing on your behalf. Once that process is successfully completed, an official written job offer will be provided to you.

Our clinics are open from 8AM until 5PM Monday through Friday. That said, depending on your role and flexibility within it, your actual work hours may vary slightly.

At CFS we offer competitive hourly and salary compensation options for team members. The compensation plan depends on the role within the company.

At CFS we want to set you up for success! We equip all team members with a company issued computer. Provider offices are furnished with a desk, chair, and sofa/loveseat. Our team members are also encouraged to bring in items to personalize their offices or working space.

At CFS we value providing quality mental healthcare. Rather than telling you how many clients you must maintain on your caseload, we instead look at the average number of sessions you have each week. For therapy providers that expectation is 30 per week and for medication management providers, the expectation is 65 weekly. Expectations are reduced for those in leadership roles.

YES! We love supporting the communities we serve. Each of our employees receives a paid volunteer day each year to donate their time to a local nonprofit. Additionally, we frequently support community events through outreach.
