About Ellie

Ellie Mental Health is outpatient therapy done differently. No cookie-cutter care, no stuffy waiting rooms, and a team that actually goes to therapy too. Our three New Jersey clinics (Cranford, Wall Township, and New Providence) serve kids, teens, adults, couples, and families, in person and online, and we're in-network with most major insurance. We believe caring for your mental health is a strength, and we want every town we're in to know it.

About the role

We're looking for someone who loves being out in the community and is good at turning a handshake into a real relationship. You'll be the face of Ellie to the people who refer clients to us: pediatricians, primary care practices, psychiatrists, schools, municipal alliances, coalitions, and local organizations. Your job is to make Ellie the trusted therapy resource in each of our towns, one conversation at a time.

This is a value-first role. We lead with what we can offer a community (clinician-led workshops, event staffing, an expert voice for local press), not with a pitch.

What you'll do Build and maintain relationships with referral partners across Union and Monmouth counties: medical practices, psychiatrists and prescribers, schools, and community organizations

Represent Ellie at community events, health fairs, coalition meetings, and municipal alliance meetings

Plan and coordinate clinician-led workshops, presentations, and awareness-month activities (Suicide Prevention Awareness Month, World Mental Health Day, Mental Health Awareness Month)

Keep a clean outreach pipeline: track contacts, touchpoints, and referral activity, and report on what's working

Work with the clinic director and our marketing efforts so outreach, ads, and website messaging tell one consistent story

Coordinate local press and publicity opportunities

Keep partners up to date on our availability, services, and insurance so referring to us stays easy

What we're looking for 2+ years in community outreach, business development, provider relations, or a similar relationship-driven role (healthcare or behavioral health a plus)

Comfortable walking into a room of strangers and leaving with three new contacts

Organized and self-directed; you can run your own calendar and pipeline without hand-holding

Clear, warm communicator in person, on the phone, and in writing

Genuine interest in mental health and reducing the stigma around getting help

Reliable transportation and a valid driver's license; this role involves regular travel between Cranford, Wall Township, New Providence, and surrounding towns

Bachelor's degree in marketing, communications, public health, social work, or a related field preferred, but relevant experience counts

Why Ellie Full-time, $25 to $30 per hour based on experience

Benefits package for full-time team members

A culture that runs on creativity, authenticity, humor, compassion, acceptance, and determination

Real impact: every partner you bring on is another door for someone in our community to get help

Ellie Mental Health is an equal opportunity employer. Come as you are.

Flexible work from home options available.

Compensation: $20.00 - $30.00 per hour

Seeking creative & collaborative humans with a passion for changing mental health care in fun and meaningful ways

Don't meet EVERY requirement?

Studies have shown that women and people of color are less likely to apply to jobs unless they meet every single qualification. Ellie Mental Health is devoted to purposefully building an inclusive and diverse workplace where all of our humans can be their authentic selves! (Authenticity is one of our core values, after all...) If you're excited about the chance to be a change-maker with us, but your past experience doesn't perfectly align with every single qualification of the job description, we encourage you to apply anyways. Our mental health jobs need dedicated individuals from every background who are willing to care for others. And who knows, you might just be the perfect candidate for another role!

Employee Experience

We take care of our people. It's that simple. From investing in their financial future, to providing wages that shatter the ceiling in our industry to reasonable caseload expectations we ensure that our people are happy. Happy employees do better work and provide better client care! No matter what it is that you do in your mental health career at Ellie, our clients depend on us cultivating an environment where our employees can thrive so that they can thrive too!

Y'all, jobs in mental health are tough jobs with a high risk of emotional fatigue and burnout. At Ellie, we use all of our core values of humor, creativity, authenticity, acceptance, determination, and compassion not just out in our communities, but we turn them inwards too! Our employees have clear growth paths for advancing their careers.

We have created a culture that reminds us that our employees are our leaders!

Company Structure

Ellie is a socially responsible for-profit business, which allows us to be flexible and responsive to our community's needs. Many mental health and wellness-focused companies are non-profits or government agencies, which rely on the general public, grants, or large donors for funding. This model often results in little creativity and lower compensation for employees, promoting a work culture that just makes people feel "blah."

Feeling blah doesn't help employees stay motivated, engaged, or even in their jobs for a very long time! So we created a new model: one that puts flexibility, innovative decision-making, creativity, and our people first, while remaining a socially conscious and responsible for-profit business focused on changing how we treat mental health.

In short, we're just people helping people. Wanna join the herd?
