  • Conduct outreach and patient engagement, intake assessments, and treatment planning with psychiatrists and psychiatric advanced practice clinicians
  • Deliver brief, evidence-based interventions and short-term therapy
  • Monitor outcomes, coordinate care with primary teams, and connect patients to community resources

  • Provide behavioral health triage for urgent issues and participate in multidisciplinary case conferences and clinical rounds
  • Educate and support teams through coaching on behavioral health best practices and facilitating resilience sessions for staff well-being
  • Contribute to program improvement by offering feedback on workflows, ensuring high-quality care delivery, and maintaining timely documentation
  • Conduct pre-visit chart preparation by reviewing external medical records (via HIEs and other sources) while using clinical judgment to identify and validate behavioral health conditions
  • Potential for travel to the local market for onboarding (1 week) and quarterly training/team-building (1–2 days)

What makes you a fit for the team:

  • Passionate about serving complex, historically underserved patients with co-occurring chronic and behavioral health conditions through an integrated, home-based, and virtual care model

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
