• Provide guidance to staff regarding quality standards, documentation practices, and compliance expectations.
• Support onboarding and ongoing training related to quality assurance practices.

Collaboration & Audit Readiness

Experience

• 2–4 years of experience in quality assurance, compliance, behavioral health, crisis services, or a related environment.
• Experience with 988, call center operations, or crisis response systems preferred.
• Experience working with regulatory or accreditation standards such as HIPAA, CARF, Joint Commission, or AAS preferred.

Skills & Competencies
