About The Position

The Jewish Board’s treatment programs provide compassionate, high quality, evidence-based services to individuals and families in the communities we serve. Our staff use a culturally affirming, person centered approach to help individuals and their families develop skills and resources to improve overall functioning, to instill hope, and to strengthen resiliency. Our programs work closely with community partners to address health disparities in our neighborhoods while also celebrating the strengths and resiliency of our communities. The One Call Contact Center (OCCC) is a hybrid centralized registration and scheduling unit serving all divisions of the Jewish Board, including Community Behavioral Services, Youth and Family Services, Intellectual and Developmental Disability, and Adult Residential. OCCC is the first point of contact at the Jewish Board for all individuals and families seeking services at The Jewish Board. The OCCC team sensitively gathers information as part of the registration and scheduling process and appropriately responds to acute clinical/safety concerns that may be identified. OCCC provides clients with the information they will need to begin services with their program and introduce them to high quality of care they will receive from the Jewish Board. OCCC partners with all programs to ensure they are providing clients with the full range of services they will receive once they begin with a program. Additionally, the OCCC will introduce options for services from other Jewish Board programs to clients who present with a need that goes beyond their initial request(s). The Clinical/Operations Supervisor, under the direction of the Senior Director of OCCC, is responsible for the training and supervision of the OCCC client engagement specialists, ensuring positive working relationships with referring agencies and JB programs, and positive “customer experience” for individuals and families seeking JB services. The Clinical/Operations Supervisor reviews various referral types and screens these referrals to determine clinical appropriateness and make recommendation to JB programs. The Clinical/Operations Supervisor reviews all urgent referrals to determine clinical appropriateness for JB services and works closely with JB programs to ensure the referral can quickly access services.
