Adult Care Coordinator

Location: Newton, KS

Are you passionate about helping others find their path to independence?

At Prairie View, we believe that every individual deserves a supportive network and the tools to master life’s challenges. We are looking for a dedicated Adult Care Coordinator to join our team. In this role, you aren’t just managing a caseload—you are building continuous, supportive relationships that empower our clients to thrive in their community.

The Heart of the Role

As a Care Coordinator, you are the bridge between clinical expertise and real-world success. You will work closely with adults participating in community support services, helping them navigate their mental health journey with dignity and autonomy.

Your Impact:

• Relationship Builder: Develop deep, supportive bonds with clients, becoming a consistent presence in their recovery.

• Empowerment Advocate: Help clients identify their unique strengths, increase their community involvement, and learn effective ways to manage emotional challenges.

• Strategic Planner: Facilitate treatment plan meetings every 90 days, ensuring goals remain relevant and that clinical oversight from therapists is seamlessly integrated.

• Community Liaison: Build a "natural network" for your clients by fostering relationships with local agencies and services.

• Safety & Support: Provide vital crisis intervention and maintain a safe, boundary-respecting environment for both individual and group work.

What You’ll Do (The Essentials)

• Clinical Excellence: Assess client needs, update treatment plans, and provide clear interpretations of service choices.

• Collaborative Care: Work hand-in-hand with therapists, case managers, and attendant care workers to ensure a holistic approach to health.

• Administrative Precision: Maintain timely documentation (90% of notes within 72 hours) and coordinate with our Utilization Review team to ensure services are always authorized and active.

• Growth-Oriented: Participate in professional development, including State of Kansas Case Manager training and ongoing workshops to sharpen your skills.

What You Bring to the Team

• Empathy & Insight: An understanding of adult behavioral health and the ability to distinguish between typical and atypical behaviors.

• Boundary Management: The skill to maintain healthy, professional limits while providing compassionate care.

• Organization: The ability to prioritize your own schedule and stay on top of clinical records.

• Reliability: A valid Kansas Driver’s License and current auto insurance (you’ll occasionally transport patients to help them access the care they need).

• A Team Mindset: You enjoy brainstorming in team meetings and contributing to the collective success of the office.
