ABOUT THE POSITION
The Mental Health Coordinator (MHC) plans, organizes and supervises a program or team, which includes direct client care, indirect client care and/or administrative coordination, and support of behavioral health and related activities. This classification may also include providing clinical supervision based upon the licensure of the incumbents and their subordinates. Incumbents receive direction from a Manager III or a higher-level department administrator. Incumbents typically supervise professional, paraprofessional and support staff, and are responsible for guiding, advising, consulting, and coordinating work in a specific program area. Although specific duties may vary depending on the job location, the focus of duties is on the coordination and supervision of a program and/or staff; incumbents are expected, however, to have clinical or professional expertise in a behavioral health field. Positions in this classification are typically located in behavioral health or substance use disorder sites.
