ABOUT THE JOB:

The Deschutes County Crisis Program is accepting applications for a Night Shift Behavioral Health Supervisor. This position will supervise the night shift clinical staff onsite at the Deschutes County Stabilization Center (DCSC) and our community crisis response team (CCRT), who work from the stabilization center and in the community.

The Deschutes County Stabilization Center (DCSC) serves children and adults who are in need of short-term, mental health crisis assessment and stabilization, but do not require the medical capabilities of an acute care hospital or longer-term residential care. The DCSC welcomes individuals to walk in when they are experiencing a mental health crisis, or they can be referred by law enforcement and community partners. The DCSC provides a wide array of crisis services to the community, including: crisis walk-in services for all ages, response to individuals in crisis in the community, adult respite services, peer support, case management, and linking clients to ongoing services.

The successful candidate will be part of an innovative and supportive leadership team housed at the stabilization center. This position reports directly to the Crisis Program Manager and requires collaboration with Behavioral Health Program Managers and Supervisors; Health Services compliance, billing, and fiscal staff; and community partners.

There is some flexibility with this position's schedule. The majority of hours will be worked overnight. Specifics will be discussed and determined during the interview process and at the time of hiring. As our clinic is open 24 hours/7 days a week, staff are expected to work some holidays.

This position will rotate one week of on-call approximately every 5 weeks to support after-hours clinical consultation and direction for both the CCRT and DCSC staff. A 10% pay differential is added to the base salary to compensate for on-call support.
