This position provides clinical leadership, supervision, consultation, and direct services to individuals transitioning from County detention facilities back into the community. The Licensed Mental Health Clinician Manager works closely with Program Directors and the General Manager to ensure the delivery of high-quality, trauma-informed, culturally responsive, and evidence-based services to individuals with mental health and/or co-occurring substance use disorders. The position provides clinical oversight and support to multidisciplinary team members, including clinical, nursing, employment, and supportive services staff, while helping ensure strong coordination of care and successful community reentry.
