Job description
Pediatric Behavioral Health Care Manager (BHCM)
Part-Time | 20 hours/week (path to full-time) On-Site: 1140 Parsippany Blvd, Parsippany, NJ
Salary: $30,000 to $32,500 annually based on experience
Why This Role Stands Out
This is not a traditional therapy role. As a Behavioral Health Care Manager, you will be the core member of an integrated, multi-disciplinary treatment team supporting a panel of patients with pediatric mental health needs.
You'll practice in a true Collaborative Care Model (CoCM), working alongside pediatricians and a psychiatric consultant to deliver measurement-based, outcomes-driven care to children and families at a population health impact.
If you value wrap-around, evidence-based care, clear clinical direction, and a highly collaborative team environment, this role is designed for you.
About Fort Health
Fort Health is building a better system for pediatric mental health—one that is accessible, evidence-based, and integrated into primary care.
We partner with leading organizations like the Child Mind Institute and follow the AIMS Center model to deliver care that is both scalable and clinically rigorous.
What You'll Do
You'll manage a caseload within a structured, team-based model:
Deliver brief, evidence-based interventions (CBT skills, Behavioral Activation, Motivational Interviewing, Problem-Solving Treatment, Parent-Management Training)
Track outcomes using validated tools (PHQ-9, GAD-7, SCARED, etc.)
Adjust care based on treatment-to-target principles
Coordinate closely with pediatricians, psychiatrists, and families
Support medication adherence and monitor response
Participate in weekly psychiatric case consultation
Drive patient engagement, follow-up, and continuity of care
Schedule (Designed for Consistency + Flexibility)
20 hours/week, with opportunity to grow into full-time
3 days on-site for afternoons/evening hours between 1:30-7:30 pm (choice of Mon–Thurs)
3 flexible remote hours/week for admin, care coordination, and meetings
What We're Looking For
Required Bachelor's degree in Social Work, Psychology, Counseling, Rehabilitation, or another relevant field; Preferred Master's degree in Social Work, Psychology, Counseling, Rehabilitation, or another relevant field
Minimum 2-years of direct clinical experience working with children, adolescents and their families (e.g., ages 4-24 years old)
Experience and training in delivering brief psychosocial evidence-based treatments (e.g., CBT, problem solving treatment, behavioral activation, motivational interviewing)
Experience with care coordination
Working knowledge of differential diagnosis of common mental health disorders.
Strong skills in engaging parents and children, developing appropriate treatment planning, and ability to collaborate and communicate proactively with the key supports in a child's life including external providers and school personnel
Preferred experience working in a team-based healthcare setting
Organized, proactive, and comfortable with measurement-based care
Thrives in a team-based, fast-moving clinical environment
What You'll Get
High-quality clinical model with clear structure and support
Training and ongoing consultation through the AIMS framework
A role where you can focus on clinical impact within a population health framework
A collaborative team that values clinical rigor and outcomes
Competitive compensation + generous PTO (including mental health days)
Opportunity to grow with a fast-moving, mission driven startup
