What are school-based jobs?

School-based jobs are positions that are primarily located within educational institutions, such as elementary, middle, or high schools. These roles can include teachers, counselors, administrative staff, nurses, and support personnel who work directly with students or support the school's operations. School-based professionals play an essential role in fostering a safe and effective learning environment, contributing to both academic success and students' overall well-being. These jobs may be offered by public, private, or charter schools, and often require specific certifications or credentials.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a school-based therapist?

To thrive as a School-Based Therapist, you need a master’s degree in counseling, social work, or psychology, along with state licensure or certification. Familiarity with electronic health records (EHRs), behavioral assessment tools, and intervention planning software is typically required. Strong interpersonal skills, cultural sensitivity, and the ability to build rapport with students make someone stand out in this position. These skills and qualities are crucial for effectively supporting student mental health and fostering positive educational outcomes within a school environment.

What are some common challenges faced by school-based professionals working within multidisciplinary teams?

School-based professionals, such as counselors, speech therapists, or school psychologists, often work as part of multidisciplinary teams that may include teachers, administrators, and external specialists. A common challenge is ensuring clear communication and coordination among all team members to support student needs effectively. Differences in professional perspectives or scheduling conflicts can also make collaboration complex. However, these teams provide valuable opportunities to learn from colleagues and develop holistic strategies for student success.

Part-time
Description
At Christian Family Solutions, we are committed to healing and helping people in need with the same excellence and unconditional love that Jesus Christ demonstrated in His ministry. It is our goal to help clients feel welcomed, safe, and supported within our family of care. Click here to view a video about us . When someone is called to a career with a strong sense of purpose, it's more than a job. It's a vocation.
What you will be doing
We are actively seeking counselors who are members of a WELS or ELS congregation and have a strong desire to learn more about integrating Christian counseling practices based on these principles. This part-time School-Based Therapist role provides dual-role services at Michigan Lutheran Seminary through our School Partnership Program. Our school partnership program is a customized and comprehensive way for schools to assist in meeting the emotional or psychological needs of their students by providing them with convenient, affordable services. In this school-based therapist role, you will not only provide clinical therapy, but also work collaboratively with school staff and parents to support student's academic, social, emotional and/or behavioral support by creating and assisting with school-based intervention plans.
Hours for this position will generally be 8am-4pm, three days per week during the 2026-2027 school year. This is a school year position which includes an eight-week non-work period in the summer months. As a part-time employee, you'll be eligible for our Paid Time Off (PTO) policy, and 401(k) plan with employer match policy.
Many of our clients choose CFS because they desire to have their care guided by principles and values of the Christian faith. Our approach embraces the two main aspects of the Bible's teachings: God's Law (His guide for living) and His Gospel (His forgiveness and grace when we and others fail to live according to the guidance He provides). As a therapist with Christian Family Solutions, you will meet clients where they are in terms of their faith. Any application of faith principles is done with the appropriate sensitivity and cultural competence that meets or exceeds the standards of our profession as outlined in the American Psychological Association's ethical code. We provide excellent and compassionate care to all clients, regardless of socioeconomic background or faith affiliation.
Why work for Christian Family Solutions?
You will receive guidance, support, and training on evidence-based care along with Christian integration techniques so that you can appropriately align the counseling experience with the principles of the Christian faith. You will work in a unique environment where both your professional skills and your faith can grow.
Joining our team means more than just a career - it's a vocation driven by a profound sense of purpose. We prioritize the professional development of our staff, providing ample opportunities for both professional and spiritual growth. To deliver our unique approach, training opportunities are built into our benefits package. That said, our employees regularly tell us that their reasons for working at CFS extend far beyond compensation and benefits. It's about a calling to serve others in their time of great need. If you are motivated to assist clients in a comfortable, supportive, and Christ-centered atmosphere with a strong Christian Mission and Core Values , we want you to be a part of our team!
Requirements
  • Master's Degree in a Human Services related field (psychology, counseling, marriage and family therapy, social work or a closely related field) required.
  • Must have required hours of supervised clinical experience or be working toward the completion of the supervised hours, per State requirements.
  • Active member of a WELS, ELS or confessional Lutheran church required.
  • Willingness to support the mission of Christian Family Solutions.
