Careers at CSAC

At the Counseling Service of Addison County, we believe the way we work matters just as much as the work we do. Our approach is rooted in human rights, dignity, and the belief that people thrive when they feel heard, respected, and connected.

Here, staff are part of a culture that prioritizes collaboration over hierarchy, relationships over checklists, and curiosity over judgment. We practice trauma-informed care, support self-determination, and value lived experience as expertise. That means our teams listen first, work alongside the people we serve, and continually reflect on how to improve systems so they are more inclusive, responsive, and humane.

We know that meaningful work requires support. At CSAC, you’ll find a workplace that encourages shared decision-making, values transparency, and recognizes the importance of community — both for the people we serve and for the people who work here. We foster connection, learning, and advocacy so staff can grow while helping build a stronger, more compassionate community.

Because at CSAC, this isn’t just a job — it’s Work Worth Doing!

This is a great entry-level role for someone beginning a career in human services – or a meaningful next step for experienced professionals looking to continue sharing skills and compassion. You may be providing one-on-one support in a community, job or school setting, or becoming an integral team member for a residential program.

Strong relationships built on trust are the foundation of this work. You will help people meet daily needs, grow, heal and find joy. Some positions may include medication administration – training will be provided.

We offer full-time, part-time and substitute opportunities, with flexible schedules to fit your life. A high school diploma is typically required.

Case Mangers ensure that services we provide are meeting the needs of individuals. You will coordinate care, build partnerships with other community service providers, respond to crisis, support direct care teams through leadership and mentorship. You will also work closely with families and guardians. Many of our direct support staff grow into this rewarding middle-management role. A bachelor’s degree is preferred, but comparable experience may be considered.

Our clinicians work across a variety of programs, including outpatient, school-based, emergency, outreach, and residential services. A master’s degree in mental health counseling or social work is required. Applicants with bachelor’s degree with relevant experience may be considered for case management roles in our clinical services for children and youth.

Keep an eye out for openings on our administrative teams, including front desk reception, accounting, billing, IT and Human Resources.
