Banyan Treatment Centers is seeking a compassionate and dedicated Clinical Aide to join our team in Gilman, IL. Across central Illinois, the need for accessible, compassionate behavioral health care continues to grow — and this role puts you at the center of that work, sitting at the intersection of clinical care and daily operations.

This is a meaningful role for someone who understands the recovery journey — through professional experience, personal experience, or both — and wants to be a consistent, trusted presence for people working hard to change their lives.

Banyan Treatment Centersis a leading national provider of intensive treatment for individuals facing substance use and mental health disorders. Backed byTPG’s Rise Fund, Banyan is rapidly expanding access to high-quality, compassionate care.

Why Join Our Team?

• A unique position with real range — this role bridges clinical support and program operations, giving you meaningful exposure to both sides of treatment and the flexibility to grow in either direction.
• Mission-driven work at a Joint Commission–accredited organization with the stability, resources, and reach of a national provider — right in your own community.
• Direct impact — you'll help keep clients engaged in treatment during a critical window, reducing early discharges and supporting each person's path to recovery.
• Two directions for growth — whether you're drawn toward clinical work, therapy, and patient care, or toward program leadership and operations, this role builds skills and visibility in both.
• Lived experience valued — personal familiarity with recovery is genuinely respected and welcomed on our team.
• Collaborative environment — work alongside therapists, medical staff, and operations team members committed to trauma-informed care across both SUD and mental health tracks.

• Co-facilitate psychoeducational and support groups alongside licensed clinicians
• Act as a communication link between therapists, the clinical team, and outside providers
• Shadow clinical staff to deepen understanding of therapeutic approaches and program structure
• Assist Primary Therapists with scribing during sessions and help maintain client documentation under supervision
• Prepare session materials and organize client case files
• Enter non-clinical data into the electronic health record (EHR) system
• Support general administrative tasks including scanning, uploading, and filing documents
