Job Description

Are you ready to meet clients where they are—literally and figuratively?

Renaissance Behavioral Health (RBH), a trusted community mental health provider serving Northeast Ohio, is seeking a passionate, skilled Behavioral Health Case Manager to join our Assertive Community Treatment (ACT) team in Cleveland.

This isn't traditional case management. This is high-impact, community-based work where you'll be part of an elite, multidisciplinary team providing intensive, wraparound support to individuals living with severe mental illness and/or substance use disorders.

What Is ACT?

Assertive Community Treatment (ACT) is an evidence-based, team-centered approach that delivers comprehensive mental health services directly to individuals who need them most—those who have historically struggled with traditional outpatient care.
