These professionals provide social services, support, and resources to individuals, families, or groups, but work fewer hours than full-time staff. Part-time BSWs may work in a variety of settings, including schools, hospitals, non-profits, or community organizations. Their responsibilities often include case management, client advocacy, and connecting people to needed services, but with a more flexible or reduced schedule.

What are some typical challenges faced by part time BSWs in balancing caseloads and client needs?

Part-time BSWs (Bachelor of Social Work professionals) often face the challenge of managing a full caseload within limited working hours. This can require strong time management skills and effective prioritization to ensure that clients receive the support they need. Additionally, part-time roles may involve collaborating closely with other team members to maintain continuity of care and clear communication regarding client progress.

Whether you’re a licensed clinician, associate-level professional, or certified SUDP, this is your opportunity to provide compassionate, frontline support to children, youth, and families during times of behavioral health crisis.

About the Role

As a Crisis Outreach Clinician, you’ll deliver trauma-informed, recovery-oriented crisis services—often directly in the community. Your work will include crisis stabilization, assessment, short-term treatment planning, care coordination, and advocacy.

Your focus: to help stabilize crises in the moment, while building bridges to long-term support systems.

Key Responsibilities
  • Conduct community-based assessments and provide crisis intervention services at homes, schools, shelters, and other locations.

  • Collaborate with internal teams and external partners (DSHS, courts, schools, hospitals).

  • Routinely assess and mitigate risk factors, including suicidality or threats to others.

  • Facilitate access to mental health/substance use treatment, natural supports, and other essential services.

  • Document services accurately and timely in the electronic health record.

  • Participate in team collaboration, case consultation, and regular supervision.

Who You’ll Work With

The CYFCT South team is a tight-knit group of clinicians, peers, and specialists who work together to provide rapid, mobile, and client-centered support to youth and families in crisis. Our approach is strength-based, culturally responsive, and deeply collaborative.

  • Strong organizational and time-management skills

  • Excellent communication, interpersonal, and documentation skills

  • Cultural competency and sensitivity to diverse populations

  • Familiarity with electronic health record (EHR) systems

Working Conditions

This is a community-based role that involves travel to client homes, schools, hospitals, and other locations across the county. Moderate physical activity and mobility are required, including lifting up to 20 lbs. You’ll work mostly outside of a traditional office setting.
