  • Support IOP team in ensuring that issues related to liability/ethics (e.g., mandated reporting, patient complaints) are addressed quickly and appropriately
  • Ensure that virtual programs adhere to all policies and procedures
  • Effectively coordinate with other Compass programs and departments
  • Coordinate community outreach (ex: provide trainings, cultivate referral sources, conduct tours)
  • Actively engage in EIOP program development and expansion
  • Participate in interviews with CCO as needed
  • Meet with CCO on a regular basis for supervision/consultation

Who You Are:
  • Licensed Doctorate Level Psychologist or Masters Level Clinician (LCPC or LCSW).
