Job Description

Licensed Clinical Social Workers and Licensed Marriage and Family Therapists are encouraged to consider an available part-time / as needed Clinician position with Liberty Healthcare’s forensic mental health program located onsite at the West Valley Detention Center – a San Bernardino County jail located in Rancho Cucamonga, CA.

This program exclusively serves adults who are justice-involved, experiencing mental illness, and have been determined to be incompetent to stand trial.

The goal of this cutting-edge program is to facilitate early access to mental health services, provide rapid stabilization, and restore people to competency efficiently and effectively.

As a Clinician, Your Role Will Involve

  • Conducting psychosocial and risk assessments
  • Providing brief treatment primarily focused on symptom management, psychoeducation, and crisis intervention
  • Supporting clients with competency restoration training and education
  • Documenting services and client status in Liberty’s electronic health record system
  • Participating in treatment team and other meetings
  • Collaborating with clinical, ancillary and security staff

Two Options Are Available

  • Working a regular part-time schedule with 3-day workweeks (24 hours total each week)
  • Working as needed at times of peak program utilization and when coverage is needed for staff who are on vacation or other leave

You can expect to be paid $50.00 per hour.

Key Responsibilities

The Clinician will provide one-to-one services onsite at the jail facility, conducting assessments, providing brief treatment focused on symptom management and crisis intervention, and supporting competency restoration training.
