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.

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
