Monitor client progress related to medical and psychiatric stability, updating plans as needed.
Support the team in identifying and responding to emerging medical or psychiatric concerns.
Maintain accurate medication and nursing supply inventories.

Knowledge of psychotropic medications, mental health diagnoses, and co-occurring disorders.
Comfort working in the field, including community-based outreach and home visits.
Strong communication, assessment, and crisis management skills.
Ability to work collaboratively in a multidisciplinary team environment.
Commitment to trauma-informed, recovery-oriented, and person-centered care.
Work Environment: This position requires frequent community-based work, travel within the service area, and interaction with clients experiencing significant clinical and social complexity. Flexibility, strong boundaries, and sound clinical judgment are essential.
