- Deliver services to both students and, when appropriate, their families
- Ensure documentation meets clinical and insurance billing requirements
- Complete timely and accurate clinical documentation within HelloHero’s EMR

- Familiarity with trauma-informed care, emotional regulation, and school-based mental health

- Flexible Caseload Options – Choose fully virtual or fully in-person
- Stable, Long-Term Work – Consistent caseloads through district partnerships across Ohio
