Mental Health Outreach Coordinator

About the role

We're looking for someone who loves being out in the community and is good at turning a handshake into a real relationship. You'll be the face of Ellie to the people who refer clients to us: pediatricians, primary care practices, psychiatrists, schools, municipal alliances, coalitions, and local organizations. Your job is to make Ellie the trusted therapy resource in each of our towns, one conversation at a time. This is a value-first role. We lead with what we can offer a community (clinician-led workshops, event staffing, an expert voice for local press), not with a pitch.

Responsibilities

• Build and maintain relationships with referral partners across Union and Monmouth counties: medical practices, psychiatrists and prescribers, schools, and community organizations
• Represent Ellie at community events, health fairs, coalition meetings, and municipal alliance meetings
• Plan and coordinate clinician-led workshops, presentations, and awareness-month activities (Suicide Prevention Awareness Month, World Mental Health Day, Mental Health Awareness Month)
• Keep a clean outreach pipeline: track contacts, touchpoints, and referral activity, and report on what's working
• Work with the clinic director and our marketing efforts so outreach, ads, and website messaging tell one consistent story
• Coordinate local press and publicity opportunities
• Keep partners up to date on our availability, services, and insurance so referring to us stays easy

Requirements

• 2+ years in community outreach, business development, provider relations, or a similar relationship-driven role (healthcare or behavioral health a plus)
• Comfortable walking into a room of strangers and leaving with three new contacts
• Organized and self-directed; you can run your own calendar and pipeline without hand-holding
• Clear, warm communicator in person, on the phone, and in writing
• Genuine interest in mental health and reducing the stigma around getting help
• Reliable transportation and a valid driver's license; this role involves regular travel between Cranford, Wall Township, New Providence, and surrounding towns
• Bachelor's degree in marketing, communications, public health, social work, or a related field preferred, but relevant experience counts

• Paid time off
• 401(k)
• Dental insurance
