About The Position

This is an ideal opportunity for an individual who enjoys working in a team atmosphere and is dedicated to providing both behavioral health care and social services to the individuals we serve in the community. The FACT Program is a multi-disciplinary, clinical team that assumes responsibility for directly providing needed treatment, rehabilitation, and support services to adult persons with severe and persistent mental illness promoting recovery, empowerment, self-determination, and decision-making for each FACT participant. Most of a FACT team member's day is spent in the community completing many of the above duties. Only about 15% of their time is spent in the office. Company vehicles are available, however, members of the FACT team also need to use their personal vehicles to provide services and are eligible for reimbursement for mileage. The FACT team operates both during and after normal business hours, rotates holiday and weekend responsibilities, and team members rotate carrying an emergency on-call cell phone.
