Be part of the solution to the behavioral health crisis. As a team member for ND Department of Health & Human Services, you will ensure the most vulnerable have access to a high quality healthcare system in which prevention works, treatment is effective, and people recover.

Be the Team Lead of an interdisciplinary team that provides individuals opportunity for recovery management so they can live and work independently in their home and community. You will supervise a Behavioral Health Team.

In a typical week, you will complete assessments and service plans. You will be involved in the organizing, directing, and guiding of care provided by other team members, as well as ongoing monitoring and update of service recommendations.

Also, you will provide education and consult to families, community, interns, and residents.

You will thrive in this position, if you are committed to a rehabilitative and person centered philosophy and comfortable providing services in homes and communities. Because services are provided in homes and communities, travel is a norm.

Location
This position provides essential client services face to face and therefore the person in this position needs to be able to travel to meet clients at their location.
