Description
At East Bay Community Action Program (EBCAP), our mission is rooted in the belief that everyone deserves access to comprehensive, compassionate care that truly changes lives.

  • Strengthen EBCAP's reputation as a leader in community-based mental health care

Develop Clinical Excellence

Ensure Quality and Compliance
  • Maintain Joint Commission standards and state regulatory compliance
  • Monitor performance metrics that demonstrate program effectiveness
  • Lead quality improvement initiatives that enhance service delivery and client outcomes

In this role, you'll directly influence:
  • Client Recovery: Guide treatment planning for young adults with serious mental illness toward sustainable wellness
  • Team Growth: Shape the professional development of nurses, clinicians, peer specialists, and care coordinators
  • System Change: Help reduce reliance on institutional care by providing effective community-based alternatives
  • Organizational Excellence: Contribute to EBCAP's expansion of innovative behavioral health services

Qualifications
  • Master's Degree in human services, Bachelor's Degree in human services with a LCDP or RN license
  • 3-5 years post-graduate clinical experience in rehabilitative community-based mental health
  • 1-2 years of managerial and supervisory experience
  • 2 or more years of experience working with adolescents and young adults in a community setting
  • Experience serving individuals with Severe and Persistent Mental Illness
  • Knowledge of co-occurring disorders and Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT)
  • Familiarity with BHDDH regulations
  • Make sound clinical decisions in complex situations with confidence and clarity
  • Lead with empathy while maintaining accountability and high standards
  • Use data and metrics to drive continuous improvement
  • Build collaborative relationships across diverse stakeholder groups
  • Navigate competing priorities while keeping client safety and quality care at the center
  • Believe deeply in recovery-oriented, trauma-informed, client-centered care
  • Background in IHH, ACT, CSP, or similar intensive community-based models
  • Knowledge of ACT fidelity standards and state regulations

Benefits
  • Leadership Development: Access to ongoing training, conferences, and professional development opportunities
  • Tuition Reimbursement: We invest in your continued education
  • Career Advancement: Growing organization with expanding behavioral health services creates internal mobility
  • Subsidized comprehensive medical (BCBSRI) and dental insurance (Delta Dental)
  • Vision insurance
  • Up to 3% matching 403(b) retirement plan
  • Employer-paid life insurance and long-term disability
  • Generous paid time off: vacation, holidays, personal days, and sick time
  • Mileage reimbursement for community-based work
  • Employee Assistance Program
  • Medical and dependent care flexible spending accounts
  • Work alongside passionate professionals committed to social justice and community wellness
  • Be part of an organization with deep roots and trusted relationships throughout Rhode Island
  • Contribute to meaningful, lasting change in the lives of our community's most vulnerable members
