  • Lead and support MHRT-CSP certification training for AMHC staff.
  • Provide postvention support and follow-up following suicide deaths, fatalities, critical incidents, or other traumatic events, including support for staff, partners, individuals, and affected groups.
  • Participate in co-response initiatives and complete required law-enforcement-related training.
  • Perform other duties as assigned.

What We're Looking For

We are looking for a leader who is compassionate, dependable, adaptable, and committed to high-quality behavioral health services.

  • Ability to work effectively with individuals from diverse backgrounds, cultures, identities, abilities, and experiences.
  • Ability to maintain confidentiality and comply with agency policies, procedures, and applicable regulations.
  • Flexibility to meet the needs of a 24/7 crisis-service environment.

Schedule & Work Environment
  • This is a nonexempt position with a schedule that may vary based on the needs of the Mobile Crisis Team.ย 
  • Employees must be available to work weekends, evenings, awake overnights, and holidays as needed.ย 
  • Due to the unpredictable nature of crisis services, occasional schedule changes, extended shifts, or coverage during normally scheduled time off may be necessary.ย 
  • Overtime compensation is provided in accordance with AMHC policies and applicable law.ย 
  • The position works in a variety of environments, including office, community, and crisis-response settings, and requires travel throughout the service area.
