This is hands-on, in-person work with adults living with serious mental illness: you'll be in their homes and out in the community, helping with the real, everyday things that keep people independent — daily routines, meal prep, personal hygiene, budgeting, appointments, and the skills and confidence to stay safe and healthy at home.

About MC Community Services

MC Community Services has been providing behavioral health services in this region since 2009. We're locally owned, community-rooted, and growing. We provide children's behavioral health (Section 28), adult outpatient therapy and assessments (Section 65), and adult community supports (Section 17). Our Section 17 program is brand new, and you'd be getting in on the ground floor of something we're building to last.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need certification before applying?

No. MHRT-1 certification is a plus, but it's not required. We provide paid training to earn your MHRT-1 certification — you get paid while you learn, and you walk away with a credential that opens doors in behavioral health across Maine.

What's the pay?

$20–$21/hr starting pay, plus a seasonal bonus program (currently active April–September), tiered PTO that grows with your tenure, and mileage reimbursement.

Is this employee or contractor work?

W-2 employment. You are an employee of MC Community Services, not a contractor. That means real supervision, real support, and the protections that come with being part of a team — not the 1099 misclassification that's common in this field.

Where does the work happen?

In adults' homes and communities across Penobscot and Piscataquis counties. This is in-person, community-based work — not an office job. You'll travel to clients across the service area, so reliable transportation is a must.

Who supervises my work?

Joanna Preble (LCSW, LADC, CCS) is our Clinical Director and provides clinical supervision for all Section 17 staff. You'll also have regular supervision and a team that supports you in the field.

How is this different from the Community Integration role?

Both are Section 17 services for the same population. Daily Living Support focuses on routines and skills inside the home: cooking, hygiene, budgeting, household management, appointments. Community Integration focuses on connecting people to community resources, housing, healthcare, and natural supports, and requires active MHRT/C certification. Daily Living Support offers paid MHRT-1 training, so no certification is required to start.
