We Are Hiring For

Behavioral Health Specialist III (QP) MCM

Type

Regular

If you are a positive and personable individual looking for a satisfying and fun opportunity to make a real difference in the lives of people with intellectual, developmental disabilities, and people facing mental health, and substance use challenges, join our team at RHA Health Services!

We are currently seeking Qualified Behavioral Health Professionals III for FULL TIME Mobile Crisis Management (MCM) positions serving Rutherford, McDowell, and Mitchell counties.

Applicants must meet criteria for "QP" status, LIVE IN THE VICINITY OF ONE OF THESE THREE COUNTIES and have a minimum of one year crisis experience (ACTT, IIHS, Inpatient treatment facility, or other service providing 24/7 crisis response duties).

As part of the MCM team, you would provide crisis response services in a variety of settings (community, doctor's offices, schools, provider offices etc.) with the goal of helping individuals in crisis to avoid inpatient hospitalization.

We serve individuals of all ages and disabilities, although most commonly we work with adults that are in a mental health or substance use crisis.

The on call shift is 12p-3a, 3 to 4 days per week rotating. Every other week results in a 3 day weekend off.

Pay Rate: $24.00 per hour

$1000 sign on bonus paid per company guidelines.
