About Mastery

Founded in 2001, Mastery Schools is a public charter network of 23 K-12 schools in Philadelphia and Camden, serving more than 14,000 students. Our mission is to provide all students with the academic and personal skills they need to succeed after graduation and pursue their dreams. Student achievement is the reason we exist, and every member of our team is dedicated to securing student success.

We are committed to pursuing equity, actively disrupting systemic racism, and addressing the disparities that limit our students' choices. Our culture is built on respect, service, and the belief that the success of our students, their families, and the communities we serve will help us achieve our mission. We foster a positive, open, and inclusive environment where honesty, humor, and continuous improvement are celebrated. Together, we are creating a model urban school district that serves all students with excellence.

The Opportunity

The Clinician role provides essential therapeutic support to students receiving specialized services due to an eligibility of Emotional Disturbance or Other Health Impairments. This position is designed to deliver individual and group counseling, facilitate social-emotional skill development, and collaborate closely with educators to implement effective behavioral support strategies.

In this role, you will partner with a multidisciplinary team to support student success. You will lead small therapeutic groups, coach teachers on behavioral intervention strategies, and respond to students in crisis by connecting them with external resources. Your work will directly impact the emotional and behavioral well-being of students, ensuring they have the tools to thrive in both classroom and counseling settings.

Why You Should Apply

Studies have shown that women and people of color are less likely to apply for jobs unless they believe they can perform every job description task. We are most interested in finding the best candidate for the job, and that candidate may come from a less traditional background. Mastery may consider an equivalent combination of knowledge, skills, education, and experience to meet minimum qualifications. If you are interested in applying, we encourage you to think broadly about your background and skill set for the role.
