About The Position

The Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at the Dell Medical School is seeking an Outreach Associate to work for the Child Psychiatry Access Network (CPAN), the Perinatal Psychiatry Access Network (PeriPAN), and other related programs.

The Outreach Associate will also work on the Safety-A program, an evidence-based intervention that trains clinicians how to identify and respond to suicide risk. This is a state and federally funded position sponsored by the Texas Child Mental Health Care Consortium (TCMHCC). TCMHCC was created by the 86th Texas Legislature to leverage the expertise and capacity of the health-related institutions of higher education to address urgent mental health challenges and improve the mental health care system in this state in relation to children, adolescents, and perinatal women. The University of Texas at Austin Dell Medical School (DMS) is a Health Related Institution (HRI) for the TCMHCC. A flexible working arrangement agreement can be accommodated based upon the needs of the program and with supervisor approval. This position may require occasional work on-site for some of the scheduled work week. Remote work will require reliable internet access and a suitable private workspace free from distractions. This position has an end date of 8/31/2026 but may be renewable based upon availability of funding, work performance, and progress toward goals. The Senior Administrative Program Coordinator, Outreach, will execute and deliver on outreach strategies that elevate impact and visibility of CPAN, PeriPAN, and other related programs aimed at improving mental health access and care for children, adolescents, and perinatal women in Central Texas.
