Operations Specialist

The Brookline Center has been known throughout its history for ground-breaking, high quality, accessible mental health care. In response to today’s mental health landscape, the Center is re-imagining its core work as the transformation of mental health care through the design, development and dissemination of mental health programs and services at the intersection of systems. While our outpatient clinic cares primarily for children and adults in Brookline and neighboring communities, much of the Center’s work extends beyond Brookline and has a statewide, regional, and national impact.

To support and fuel the Brookline Center’s growth and evolution, we are expanding our teams. If you are interested in shaping the future of mental health and ensuring that care is effective and equitable for all, we would love to meet you.
