Clinical Account Liaison

SENIOR CARE THERAPY • Evesham Township, NJ

About The Position

The Clinical Account Liaison (CAL) is Senior Care Therapy’s embedded clinical liaison within an assigned portfolio of approximately 20 skilled nursing facility (SNF) partners. The CAL ensures that residents who would benefit from psychiatric and psychological services are identified, appropriately referred, and connected to SCT’s clinical team in a timely, medically necessary manner. Working side-by-side with Directors of Nursing (DON), Social Services Directors, MDS Coordinators, consultant pharmacists, unit managers, and other members of the interdisciplinary team (IDT), the CAL strengthens the clinical fabric of each facility partnership, supports appropriate psychotropic medication management, and serves as a continuous education and clinical resource on SCT services. The CAL deepens and stewards SCT’s existing facility partnerships through clinical credibility, education, and embedded relationship work.

• Demonstrated ability to build credible, durable working relationships with DONs, social workers, consultant pharmacists, and facility leadership.

• Conduct ongoing in-services and education for nursing, social services, and clinical leadership on SCT’s services, clinical scope, and referral process.
• Place, maintain, and regularly refresh SCT reference binders at every nursing workstation in each assigned facility — including current contact cards, on-call numbers, referral pathways, and concise service summaries.
