career is a service of the Southeastern Pennsylvania Image Marketing Campaign
(CAMPAIGN).

The CAMPAIGN is comprised of the human services agencies and organizations in Bucks, Chester, Delaware, Montgomery and Philadelphia counties that subscribe to the CAMPAIGN, the five county mental health and mental retardation departments in southeastern PA, and licensed entities. (See a list of members under “Participating Providers”).

This service is FREE to applicants seeking job opportunities in the fields of developmental disabilities or mental health.

When applying directly through career, job applicant information will be shared with employers whose agencies or organizations are members of the CAMPAIGN.

Applicants are not assured or guaranteed employment by the CAMPAIGN, only that their inquiry or application will be shared with the members of the CAMPAIGN for purposes of consideration for employment. Each member agency has its own application and interview process, as well as criteria and qualifications for employment. All terms and conditions of employment are between the employer and the applicant.

Applications made to career will be posted on the CAMPAIGN’S Job Candidate Processing Database which is accessible only to subscribing employers who are registered with and authorized by the CAMPAIGN. The CAMPAIGN encourages member agencies to utilize the Job Candidate Processing Database when seeking to fill vacant or new staff positions. The CAMPAIGN also seeks to educate and inform potential job candidates about the opportunities and challenges of a career in the fields of developmental disabilities and mental health.

In general, CAMPAIGN member agencies and organizations require the following minimum qualifications for employment:

1. with exceptions:

• must be 18 years of age or older,
• must have a high school diploma or GED,
• must have a valid driver’s license

2. without exceptions:
