Job Description

GDIT, or General Dynamics Information Technology, is a reputable global technology and professional services company that specializes in delivering high-value technology solutions and mission services to a wide range of U.S. government agencies, including defense and intelligence sectors. With a workforce of over 26,000 experts operating across more than 50 countries worldwide, GDIT excels in leveraging advanced technology to meet complex government, defense, and intelligence challenges. The company is known for its innovation and commitment to ensuring the safety of today while making tomorrow smarter through cutting-edge technologies like artificial intelligence, cloud computing, cybersecurity, and software development.

The role of Suicide Prevention Coordinator at GDIT presents a unique opportunity to work closely with federal civilian agencies, particularly supporting Special Operations Forces (SOF) units. This position is vital in ensuring the psychological well-being, readiness, and resilience of service members and their families. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), the Suicide Prevention Coordinator (SPC) acts as a subject matter expert in suicide prevention policies and program execution at the component level. This influential role involves leading and developing suicide prevention initiatives through clinical support and integration of evidence-based practices. The SPC will participate in key meetings, review research to incorporate best practices, apply professional social work procedures, consult with military and medical personnel, and provide clinical supervision to unlicensed providers or trainees.

The ideal candidate for this role will hold a Master of Social Work degree from an accredited institution, possess at least two years of peer-reviewable clinical social work experience in a mental health setting, and have a demonstrated understanding of professional clinical social work standards and ethics. Experience in brief behavioral interventions and government health settings like the Department of the Army (DoW) or VA Medical Treatment Facilities (MTF) is highly preferred. The position also requires the ability to obtain or hold a Secret or Top-Secret security clearance, essential for working within sensitive military environments.

This contingent role is expected to begin in 2027 and offers multiple sites both within the continental United States (CONUS) and outside the continental United States (OCONUS). GDIT enhances your career path with benefits that include a 401K with company match, comprehensive health and wellness packages, opportunities for professional growth such as paid education and certifications, and paid vacation and holidays to help you rest and recharge. GDIT is committed to supporting the personal and professional development of its employees, providing an internal mobility team designed to help you own your career while working with state-of-the-art technology and alongside devoted professionals. This position underscores GDIT's mission and values—delivering meaningful impact on national security and contributing to the well-being of U.S. service members through thoughtful and effective suicide prevention strategies.
