JOB SUMMARY:

The Clinical Specialist is a mental health professional who reports directly to the Division VP.

Maintains a "caseload" of said consumers, although primary services (counseling, service planning, apartment visits, etc.) are the responsibility of the case management staff.
  3. Organizes and facilitates internal case conferences as needed, working with staff to design and implement person-centered, evidence-based interventions to resolve clinical/compliance issues, motivate consumers, and determine disposition of cases.
  4. Attends external case conferences on behalf of the Cluster; participates in decision-making regarding discharge planning to/from SH programs, inpatient settings, detox/rehab programs, etc.
  5. Oversees the risk assessment process in supported housing, ensuring that assessments are completed as directed, informing the Program Directors and Vice President about status of high-risk consumers, and managing appropriate follow-through by staff.
  6. Provides staff training as needed (for example, independent living skills training, and wellness activities) and co-facilitates groups- if needed- as a teaching method.
  7. Oversees the clinical quality and integrity of service planning and utilization review in relevant programs. Provides staff training in these areas.
  8. Participates actively on the Supported Housing Task Force. Attends the meetings, and is centrally involved in the implementation of initiatives rolled out by the committee.
  9. Participates in the process of determining readiness for transition to supported housing, including helping staff to identify- and address- skills training needs.
