Frequently Asked Questions:
How may I check the status of my application?
Once you have submitted your application, you should receive an automatic email confirming it has been received in our HR department for review.
I submitted an application, received my email confirmation, and have not heard from anyone. Can I call to check on it?
No. After you receive your email confirmation, your application will be reviewed in the HR department to determine qualification for the job requirements. It is then forwarded to the hiring supervisor for that position. The supervisor will review all the applications sent and make selections for interviewing.
What if I do not receive a call for an interview?
Due to the large volume of applicants, not everyone is selected for an interview. Any applications not selected for interview by a supervisor are returned to HR for other supervisors to review for other similar positions.
May I speak with the manager or supervisor about the position?
The first step in seeking employment at NWAMHC is to complete an online application. Each job position will give an overview of the specific position requirements. If you are selected for an interview, the hiring supervisor will contact you.
I have applied several times and have not been contacted for an interview.
Based on the information you provided, you were not selected for that specific position. Many factors, which may include availability, work history, experience, and education requirements, are taken into consideration when determining the next steps with an applicant.
How often can I apply for a position?
For entry-level (high school/GED) positions, your application is considered current for 90 days. If you have not received a call from a supervisor after that time, you may want to complete another application so your information is kept current. For other professional-level positions, your application is considered current for 6 months. If your information needs refreshing or updating, please do so through our website application system.
Do I have to fill out a separate application for each position of interest?
Multiple applications will slow down the application/hiring process. Keeping all your information on one document will be easier on all concerned. If you indicate more than one position on your application, one application will suffice.
I am interested in applying for a position on the NWAMHC website, and I have questions about the position, such as the shift, work schedule, and pay range. May I speak with someone to learn more about the position?
Every posted position has a brief description of job requirements for review. The job duties, position requirements, salary range, and work schedule will be discussed if you are selected for an interview.
I have questions about the education requirements for a position I am interested in.
Education level requirements are posted in each job posting. Because of the billing of services we provide to our consumers, we must meet the guidelines set out by the State of Alabama, Medicaid, and Medicare. We must provide proof of education for any staff we hire. All entry-level staff must have graduated from a state-accredited high school or earned a GED from an accredited school/source. Bachelor-level and master-level applicants must have degrees in mental health-related fields. All applicants will be reviewed for specific job position requirements, and proof of education is required for employment.
What do PT, FT, and FT Temp mean?
- PT- part-time, 20-29 hours per week.
- FT – full-time, 40 hours per week with benefits.
- FT Temp – a temporary full-time position that works 40 hours per week but has no benefits, up to 90 days.
What benefits does your center provide with full-time employment?
