Behavioral and Mental Health Staffing FAQs
Learn about behavioral health nursing, therapist and counselor roles, work settings, pay, required credentials and staffing behavioral health teams.
What behavioral health roles does UHC Staffing staff?
Behavioral health RNs, outpatient therapists, LCSWs, counselors and psych technicians, in inpatient units, outpatient programs and community mental health agencies.
Are roles per diem or permanent?
Both, plus contract. Community mental health agencies in particular hire per diem and permanent clinicians through us.
What is the pay?
Every posting shows the rate. Per diem behavioral health RN roles currently list $48 to $51 an hour; therapist and counselor rates vary by licence and setting.
Which training and licences do you verify?
CPI or equivalent de-escalation training and your state clinical licence, verified at the source, plus the standard health, background and reference checks.
Can I choose the population I work with?
Yes. Tell your recruiter the setting and population you want, such as adult inpatient, child and family or outpatient, and we match to that rather than to the first open shift.
Do you place clinicians in correctional or state facilities?
Yes. Behavioral health roles in corrections, state hospitals and public health programs are part of our Federal & Schools pillar; your recruiter will handle the extra clearances.
Can a facility staff a behavioral health unit through UHC Staffing?
Yes. Clinicians arrive with de-escalation training and licensure verified, and the after-hours line covers call-offs and replacements seven days a week.
