Assistant Behavioural information

Is a behavior assistant entry level?

Behavioral assistant roles are often considered entry-level positions that typically require a high school diploma or equivalent. Prior experience or certification in behavior management or related fields can be beneficial, but many employers provide on-the-job training for new assistants.

What is the role of a behavioral assistant?

A behavioral assistant supports individuals with behavioral challenges by implementing treatment plans, monitoring progress, and providing behavioral interventions under the supervision of a licensed professional. They often work in settings such as schools, clinics, or homes and may require training in behavior management techniques and certifications like CPR or first aid.

Job description

Job Description

Behavioral Health Clinic Environment (Plaza)

This Medical Assistant role functions differently than a traditional hands-on clinic MA position.

Approximately 85% of patient visits are conducted virtually, and the majority of daily work is focused on care coordination, patient communication, and medication workflow rather than in-person rooming or procedures.

This role supports psychiatrists and psychiatric nurse practitioners in a high-volume outpatient behavioral health clinic.

What this role looks like day-to-day

Medical Assistants in Behavioral Health spend most of their time:

  • Managing a steady, high volume of MyChart portal messages, phone calls, and faxes
  • Processing medication refill and patient advice requests through Epic
  • Preparing and submitting prior authorizations for psychiatric medications and procedures (including ECT)
  • Handling FMLA, disability, school, and work documentation
  • Drafting and sending patient letters and forms
  • Coordinating between patients, providers, pharmacies, and insurance companies
  • Supporting providers by keeping clinical workflows organized and moving

While the position is based in the clinic, direct patient contact is limited, and hands-on clinical procedures are minimal. When patients are seen in person, MAs typically obtain vitals only; the clinic does not perform injections, lab draws, or procedural assisting.

Who is most successful in this role

This position is best suited for MAs who enjoy care coordination, written and phone-based communication, detailed documentation, and working with behavioral health patients. Candidates seeking a procedure-heavy MA role may not find this to be a good fit.
