Nurses, aides, janitors. Higher ups are the Doctors. Before you decide to work there you might want to visit one for a few hours

My husband was a psychiatric technician at a state mental facility that housed convicted sexual predators and unfortunately, there were a lot of takedowns.If you want to be higher up, then you would either have to be a doc, psychiatrist, or a pharmacist. Or there is administration. But it is a mentally draining profession.
