Description School-Based Therapist (LICSW or LMHC) | Littleton, NH Full-Time | School-Based + Outpatient Behavioral Health Monday–Friday | Approximately 40 Hours per Week
Heartline Staffing, in partnership with Purple Cow Recruiting, is hiring a School-Based Therapist (LICSW or LMHC) for a full-time behavioral health opportunity in Littleton, New Hampshire. This position offers meaningful work with children and families, a stable Monday-through-Friday schedule, protected administrative time, and the opportunity to provide both school-based and outpatient behavioral health services.
The therapist will provide behavioral health services to K–12 students in area schools while also maintaining an outpatient caseload. During summer break, the therapist transitions to a full-time outpatient clinic schedule, providing consistent year-round employment and hours.
This role combines school-based behavioral health with outpatient clinical care. Responsibilities may shift between the two settings based on organizational needs, providing the therapist with an opportunity to work closely with students, families, schools, healthcare providers, and a collaborative behavioral health team.
The therapist will work directly with children and adolescents in area K–12 schools, providing behavioral health services while developing meaningful relationships with students and their families.
In addition to school-based responsibilities, the therapist will maintain an outpatient caseload. During summer break, responsibilities transition to full-time outpatient clinical care, providing year-round stability rather than limiting employment to the academic calendar.
The approximately 40-hour workweek includes 32 hours of direct patient care and 8 hours of protected administrative time. This dedicated administrative time provides scheduled capacity for clinical documentation, care coordination, communication, and other responsibilities outside of direct patient sessions.
Both experienced therapists and new graduates are encouraged to apply. The employer is looking for clinicians who enjoy working with children and adolescents, value collaboration, and want to provide relationship-based behavioral healthcare within a supportive, mission-driven environment.
Why consider this opportunity?
This position offers the opportunity to make a direct impact on children and families while maintaining schedule stability and year-round employment. The combination of school-based work, outpatient clinical practice, protected administrative time, strong benefits, and substantial student loan repayment makes this an attractive opportunity for both newly licensed and experienced behavioral health clinicians.
Unlike roles where state licensure may be obtained after application, the supplied posting specifically states that the candidate holds an active New Hampshire LICSW or LMHC license. Treat active NH LICSW or LMHC licensure as a strict requirement unless the client provides different guidance.
Prior years of professional therapist experience are NOT required by the supplied posting. The employer specifically encourages both new graduates and experienced therapists to apply. Do not reject an appropriately licensed new graduate because they lack several years of post-licensure experience.
Candidates should genuinely want to work with children and adolescents. The position provides behavioral health services to K–12 students and requires collaboration with schools and families.
This is not exclusively a school-year position. The therapist maintains an outpatient caseload and transitions to full-time outpatient clinical care during summer break.
