Job Summary

McKinley Consultants are assigned to a McKinley school and supervise the clinical work of therapists assigned to the school.  Consultants are responsible for monitoring the overall quality and integrity of Wediko services at their assigned school.  They are also responsible for assigning cases, maintaining clinician schedules, and timely documentation of the clinical services provided.   McKinley Consultants must be familiar with the multi-tiered behavior support structures (PBIS) and other initiatives at the school.  They participate in relevant agency-based and school-based trainings and can articulate a trauma-informed perspective on behavioral health treatment.  McKinley Consultants participate in leadership meetings at Wediko and facilitate staff training seminars/workshops as needed. McKinley consultants work under the supervision of the Program Director or Associate Director.
