Hi all!

I just found out that, in addition to the position below for a clinician, A Better Way, Inc. (ABW) is also hiring for a Clinical Supervisor and for a Program Director.  Since the organization is in both S.F. and Alameda Counties, it is likely that one could interview for any of these positions in the county of your preference.  All interviews will be held at the main administrative offices in Berkeley as will some meetings and trainings, however, positions will be based in either Alameda County or in S.F.

If the idea of being a Clinical Supervisor or of being the Program Director for a MH health program is appealing to you, you can apply by following the directions at the end of the clinician posting below.  Additionally, I understand that the job announcements for the Supervisor position and for the Program Director position are also posted on Craig's List.

Thanks for spreading the word.  ABW is suddenly hiring for several positions and we really want folks who are interested in evidence-based practice and who are passionate about working with families!
