Mission

History

As a leader in the field, we give employees room to explore opportunities to enhance their professional career while experiencing personal satisfaction and achievement in the workplace. We are proud to employ a diverse population of employees in a variety of positions and we strive to offer a comprehensive benefit package to meet their needs.

Ability to Gain New Experiences While Staying With Spectrum.

Due to our many program offerings throughout our company, there is always room for our staff to move and grow while staying employed with us. We are proud of the many internal hires and internal promotions that occur at Spectrum each year.

Once you've started a career with Spectrum, the possibilities are many. Opportunities to work with numerous populations in varied work environments and levels of care keep things fresh when you may feel you need a change. We strongly encourage all staff to look within Spectrum for other opportunities and offer internal candidates to "skip the line" when interviewing for a newly opened position.

"Entry-Level" Opportunities.

We are proud to be able to offer opportunities to those who do not currently possess an advanced degree or licensure/certificate, those who just recently graduated and have little work experience, and/or those who are new to the field and just want to help others.

Every position at Spectrum is highly valued as without each and every person, our clients would not be able to receive the level of care we pride ourselves on. We have entry-level positions within most of our programs! (Positions to look for: HS diploma/GED? "Recovery Specialist" or "Direct Care". Newly licensed? "Nurse". Bachelors-level? "Counselor")

Professional Growth Opportunities.

When our staff complete an advanced degree or earn a certificate/licensure, even more opportunities are open to them. We offer increased compensation for those who obtain a Master's degree or a professional licensure/certificate. We also help assist our staff by reaching their professional goals with the use of our Tuition Reimbursement programs and partnerships with higher education institutes.
