We work in a challenging and sometimes stressful field, so we also like to have fun with staff gatherings and celebrations from time to time. If you want work with a purpose and to make a difference in someone’s life, a career at the Center could be the rewarding professional experience you have been seeking.
Position Summary:
The case manager is responsible for providing initial and ongoing assessment, clinical diagnosis, and development of individualized treatment plans for members of the Independence Center. The position will identify and recommend appropriate therapeutic and case management interventions to assist the member in meeting their treatment goals. Case managers often need to assess members in crisis situations (including safety assessments to others or the member themselves) and take appropriate action to manage the situation. Each case manager is assigned a caseload of members for whom they provide required services in-home and community-based to promote their mental and physical well-being.
Position Responsibilities (including but not limited to):
- Conduct and document, in Center’s timeframes, mental health assessments, treatment plans, safety and discharge plans, progress notes, reports, and service interventions for services rendered by members.

- Provide community support services and assist members in achieving and maintaining rehabilitative, resiliency and recovery goals. Services provided include therapeutic interventions that facilitate illness self-management, skill building, identification and use of natural supports and use of community resources.
- Coordinate, transport and participate in appointments with both mental and physical health medical providers to promote collaborative care and provide input on treatment needs. This includes tracking and documenting member information from appointments as well as ensuring follow-up and obtaining necessary referrals for services.
- Conduct non-medical assessments such as home safety, transportation, employment, and community/environment resources to provide referrals for appropriate services and resolve concerns on member’s behalf.
- Provide ongoing outreach via phone, email, text to members who have been absent from the center programs for extended periods of time.
- Facilitate educational and therapeutic groups in areas such as life skills, communication, coping, and conflict management.
- Coordinate and implement community events such as open hours, health fairs, and other health education events.
