"I have been fortunate to have worked with all age groups and in many different settings throughout my career as a case manager and mental health therapist. When I was looking for a change from my previous job, I figured I was in the 4th quarter of my career and wanted to try something different - I could not have imagined the excellent place the Salt Lake County Jail has been to work. This has become my dream job! And this is from somebody who not only had a private practice for a number of years, but also working both government and private sector jobs. The Salt Lake County Jail is not only an interesting and unique place to work, but they offer excellent benefits and very competitive wages. I cannot say enough about the support our staff receives from both collogues and administration. If you are a new Clinical Therapist graduate - 4th quarter in your career, or somebody in between, I would strongly encourage you to apply for a position at the Salt Lake County Jail!"
