  • Coordinate with hospitals, emergency rooms, Adult Protective Services, law enforcement, and residential providers as needed during coverage periods

  • Maintain detailed written documentation of all coverage activities, decisions made, and contacts during each coverage period

  • Maintain availability according to the agreed upon on-call schedule and respond to coverage activations within the required timeframe

  • Bachelor's degree minimum in social work, psychology, counseling, human services, or a related field; Master's degree or LCSW/LPC licensure strongly preferred

  • Minimum of 2 years of experience working with individuals with IDD, serious mental illness, or complex behavioral health needs

  • Strong crisis intervention skills and experience making time-sensitive clinical and welfare decisions

  • Completion of Virginia DARS Guardian Training (or willingness to complete prior to first coverage activation)

  • Availability to respond to coverage requests within 60 minutes during designated on-call periods

  • Valid Virginia driver's license and reliable personal transportation

  • Ability to pass a comprehensive background check including criminal history and adult abuse registry clearance

Qualifications (Preferred):
