About The Position

At Psynergy, we know that together, we achieve more!

In partnership with twenty-six Counties and Behavioral Health Departments across California, Psynergy provides rehabilitation and specialty mental health services to individuals afflicted with complex and chronic mental illness. We do this in an enriched residential environment where through support, skill-building and treatment clients have created thriving environments and communities of care. Our adjoining outpatient clinics provide and support the highest levels of service to our clients. We are looking for exceptional team members who can help us build and maintain the highest standards of care in both residential and clinical treatment! Come meet our team! We are seeking someone who is service driven to work full or part-time as part of an amazing team of Residential Caregivers, Nurses, Rehab staff, Therapists and Psychiatrists. You will be working with adults (18-59) who are diagnosed with a chronic mental illness (ex: schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder, bipolar disorder, major depressive disorder, PTSD). Your role as a Residential Caregiver (RC) is to work as part of a multi-disciplinary team to assist clients who are stepping down from higher levels of care into residential settings. As a RC you will help clients learn and regain independent living skills that will help prevent unnecessary hospitalizations and stabilize housing.
