Orem, Utah | In-person About Us New Perspectives is a transitional living program for neurodiverse young adults. We provide a supportive environment where students can develop independence and confidence through clinical support, life skills coaching, academic & job readiness training, and wellness coaching. Our team works collaboratively to help each student build the skills needed for greater independence and long-term success. About the Role We're seeking an organized and reliable Clinical Assistant to join our Wellness Team. The Clinical Assistant helps coordinate care between our students, clinical team, and outside psychiatric providers while working directly with students to build independent healthcare and medication-management skills. This is a hands-on coaching position. Rather than fully managing healthcare tasks for students, the Clinical Assistant helps students learn how to schedule appointments, communicate with providers and pharmacies, manage prescriptions, organize medications, and advocate for their own healthcare needs. Support is gradually reduced as students become more independent. The Clinical Assistant assures that all healthcare tasks are completed The Clinical Assistant also leads established psychoeducational groups with oversight from our licensed therapists. This is an excellent opportunity for a current or recent psychology, social work, or related-field student interested in gaining direct experience working with neurodiverse young adults in a collaborative clinical environment.

The Clinical Assistant will store medications and work with students as they distribute their own medications a week at a time. The goal is to coach students toward independently managing their own medications, appointments, and healthcare needs.
