This is an excellent opportunity for a well-grounded person interested in supporting those seeking recovery and well-being. It is an opportunity for self-growth and work within the human services. Specific experience in this field is not required. Being engaged in a personal contemplative discipline (i.e. meditation, yoga, etc.) would be supportive to this job.

Benefits include a weekly stipend, rent and utilities are paid for, a monthly food allowance, the freedom to work up to 25 hours per week at another job, ongoing individual and group training and supervision.

Inspiring and unique clinical opportunity in the field of mindfulness and relationship based psychiatric recovery.  Windhorse Integrative Mental Health, a non-profit founded in 1993, is seeking a full-time Clinical Team Leader for our San Luis Obispo, California location. Windhorse is a semi-residential therapeutic community that uses a mindfulness and relationship-based philosophy in working with individuals experiencing health challenges such as psychosis, mood disorders and trauma.

Our multidisciplinary clinical teams, including our unique therapeutic housemate role, work together to offer an intensive level of individualized one-on-one client support, up to 40+ hours per week for full clinical teams.
