Some evening, overnight, weekend, and holiday availability is required as part of the on-call rotation. Applicants will be given clear information about the rotation and response expectations during the interview process.
What you may do in this role
- Provide calm, practical support during behavioral health crises
- Help individuals and families de-escalate difficult situations
- Assist with safety planning and immediate next steps

- Work with schools, hospitals, outpatient providers, law enforcement, EMS, and other community partners when appropriate
- Document the services and follow-up you provide
