Why NAMI Chicago?

At NAMI Chicago, we invest as much in our team’s wellbeing as we do in those we serve. NAMI Chicago offers a competitive salary and benefits package, including generous time off options. In addition to standard holidays, NAMI Chicago is closed twice per year for Self-Care Days, because we believe that life is precious and meant to be enjoyed. NAMI Chicago also offers ongoing interactive programming to our team in support of wellbeing, including quarterly employee activities, one-on-one wellness support and consultations, and workshops around yoga, sleep, designing a work environment, and much more.

All of this is provided in partnership with our People Experience (PX) team, our leaders in talent acquisition, benefits administration, professional development and so much more. Our PX team strives to create an experience where every employee feels they can show up to work as themselves, knowing they matter and are valued.
