BHPs are the backbone of our Section 28 program. The kids we serve build skills one-on-one, in their own homes and communities, with adults who know them and stick with them. That work matters more than any degree.
$18/hr during paid training, $20/hr once you're certified, and up to $23/hr with experience — plus a monthly profit-sharing bonus and holiday bonuses on top.
We are a small, community-rooted Mental Health Agency in Lincoln, Maine. We've been growing alongside the families we support since 2009. As a BHP at MCCS you'll get paid training, hands-on supervision from people who came up through direct service themselves, and the steady support of a small agency where decisions get made by people you know. Many of our team members have grown from BHP into supervisor, clinical, or operations roles over the years.
No. A high school diploma or GED is the only education requirement. We provide BHP certification training and ongoing supervision. Many of our best BHPs started without any behavioral-health background — they brought patience, reliability, and care for the kids.
MCCS provides BHP certification training in-house for hired candidates. The training covers Section 28 services, trauma-informed care, behavior support, documentation, and safety. You start working with kids once you're certified and have shadowed our team.
You earn $18/hr during paid training, $20/hr once you're certified, and up to $23/hr with experience. On top of that, we run a monthly profit-sharing bonus ($25–$140/mo) that over 70% of the team qualifies for every month, plus Thanksgiving and Christmas bonuses, annual raises, and a mileage stipend.
Most BHPs see two to four kids per day, one at a time, in the child's home or out in the community (library, store, park, school). Sessions are typically one to three hours, focused on whatever skills the child is working on through their treatment plan. Documentation goes in at the end of each session.
Yes. We hire BHPs full-time and part-time, and schedules are built around your availability and your assigned kids' needs. Many BHPs balance this work with school, family, or a second job.
Yes. We are always accepting BHP applications. The work happens in members' homes and communities, so as our caseload grows we bring on more BHPs. Apply any time.
