What is it like to work at Carruth? We hope to give you a sense of what your day-to-day experience might be like.
Working in a counseling center such as ours can be a rewarding experience. You will have the opportunity to work with young adults as they journey through their formative college years. There is also variety to the work that can be done here, including individual or group counseling, participating in a thriving training program, or making connections through outreach with campus and community partners. The ebb and flow of school year provides opportunities to get involved in a variety of unique projects as the clinical load is reduced during natural semester breaks.
A highlight of joining the Carruth staff is the opportunity to work as a team with others who are passionate about providing quality care for our students. We have an open-door policy and value consultation as integral to the services we provide. We feel this fosters day-to-day connections among our team, and provides occasional levity to counterbalance the hard work that we do. We start our staff meetings with "gratitudes" to show appreciation for one another at the end of our week.
We also strive to be intentional about creating space to have fun together and connect. This can be through a happy hour, partnering with Adventure WV for a ropes course, or scheduling a semester’s worth of celebrations and potluck lunches.
We hope you will consider joining our team and becoming a part of the Carruth family.
