Response Team Supervisor (Part-Time) - Circle Program

Sycamores is a contracted provider with the Los Angeles County's Mayors office, to operate the CIRCLE program, which stands for Crisis and Incident Response through Community-led Engagement, throughout the San Fernando Valley. This is a 24/7 unarmed response program that deploys trained teams to address non-urgent LAPD calls related to unhoused individuals. CIRCLE aims to create positive outcomes for unhoused individuals through rapport-building and connections to services and provide LAPD officers with more time to focus on traditional law enforcement efforts. For consumers that are evaluated to need more intensive and immediate support, CIRCLE is integrated with the Los Angeles County Department of Mental Health (LACDMH) network of Field Intervention Teams (FIT), which is the County's behavioral health crisis responder system served by Mobile Crisis Outreach Teams (MCOT) and Psychiatric Mobile Response Teams (PMRT), who can provide an in person assessment to determine if psychiatric hospitalization is necessary. The CIRCLE Response Team Supervisor is partnered with and oversees the Response Team Outreach Advocate, who jointly will provide outreach and engagement to persons in need within the San Fernando Valley. The "team" will additionally respond to referrals from three Los Angeles Police Departments (Van Nuys, Mission, and Foothill) and will utilize the agency vehicle to respond to a community member in need. The Response Team Supervisor is also responsible for providing stabilization interventions, advocating for client voice and choice, self-determination, and decision-making in the planning, delivery, and evaluation of treatment, rehabilitation, and support services. The Response Team Supervisor will provide on-scene coaching and support to the Outreach Advocate and consumers regarding community resources, crisis intervention, and available community services i.e., housing, mental health services, medical treatment and substance abuse services.
