Role Scope and Scheduling (RN Applicants)

This position is hired and scheduled as a Mental Health Professional (MHP) role. RNs who apply for and accept this position will be considered only for MHP duties during their scheduled MHP shifts and will not function as the facility Nurse on Duty, which is staffed separately. If an RN is interested in also working separate nursing shifts, that opportunity may be discussed independently and is entirely optional at the employee’s discretion. Nursing duties are performed only when the RN is specifically scheduled in a nursing role.

• Key Responsibilities
• Lead daily community meetings to support structure, communication, routines, and resident engagement.
• Provide scheduled and as-needed 1:1 resident support focused on skill-building, coping strategies, problem-solving, and goal progress within each resident’s person-centered service plan.
• Support residents with community stabilization, including coaching for emotional regulation, interpersonal conflict, and safety awareness in a residential setting.
• Collaborate with the interdisciplinary team to develop, implement, and update Behavior Support Plans, including clear staff strategies and measurable objectives.
• Coach and support direct care staff on behavioral observation, de-escalation approaches, and consistent responses aligned with resident plans.
• Assist with crisis response and stabilization, including safety planning and coordination with leadership and external resources as needed when a resident presents risk to self or others.
• Coordinate communication with families, external providers, and involved parties (as appropriate and authorized) to support continuity and resident goals.
• Maintain timely, accurate documentation per facility standards, including progress notes, service plan participation, behavior-related documentation, and incident follow-up.
• Assist residents with benefits navigation and agency coordination (for example, Social Security) to support stability and continuity of care.
• Support day-to-day unit operations as part of a hands-on residential team, collaborating with the Nurse on Duty to support basic resident care tasks and maintain a safe, orderly environment.
• Actively participate in clinical team meetings, shift communication, and staff meetings as scheduled.
• Provide occasional on-call support as coordinated by the Administrator (separate from Nurse on Duty coverage).
• Understand and uphold Resident Rights, including mandatory reporting of suspected abuse, neglect, or exploitation.
• Perform other duties as assigned by the Administrator, consistent with the scope of the role.
