Pediatric Behavioral Health Care Manager (BHCM)

Part-Time | 20 hours/week (path to full-time)
On-Site: 1140 Parsippany Blvd, Parsippany, NJ

Salary: $35,000 to $40,000 annually based on experience

Why This Role Stands Out

This is not a traditional therapy role. As a Behavioral Health Care Manager, you will be the core member of an integrated, multi-disciplinary treatment team supporting a panel of patients with pediatric mental health needs.

You’ll practice in a true Collaborative Care Model (CoCM), working alongside pediatricians and a psychiatric consultant to deliver measurement-based, outcomes-driven care to children and families at a population health impact.

If you value wrap-around, evidence-based care, clear clinical direction, and a highly collaborative team environment, this role is designed for you.

About Fort Health

Fort Health is building a better system for pediatric mental health—one that is accessible, evidence-based, and integrated into primary care.

We partner with leading organizations like the Child Mind Institute and follow the AIMS Center model to deliver care that is both scalable and clinically rigorous.

What You’ll Do

You’ll manage a caseload within a structured, team-based model:

• Deliver brief, evidence-based interventions (CBT skills, Behavioral Activation, Motivational Interviewing, Problem-Solving Treatment, Parent-Management Training)

• Adjust care based on treatment-to-target principles

• Coordinate closely with pediatricians, psychiatrists, and families

• Participate in weekly psychiatric case consultation

• Drive patient engagement, follow-up, and continuity of care

Schedule (Designed for Consistency + Flexibility)

• 3 days on-site for afternoons/evening hours between 1:30-7:30 pm (choice of Mon–Thurs)

• 3 flexible remote hours/week for admin, care coordination, and meetings

What We’re Looking For

• Experience with care coordination

• Working knowledge of differential diagnosis of common mental health disorders.

• Strong skills in engaging parents and children, developing appropriate treatment planning, and ability to collaborate and communicate proactively with the key supports in a child’s life including external providers and school personnel
