Behavioral Health Team Leader

PathPoint is seeking a full-time Team Leader to join our Behavioral Health Division in Santa Barbara, CA. The position is 40 hours per week with flexible schedule and hybrid remote work options; driving is required.

Please include a cover letter when applying; we want to hear your voice and why you are interested in the position. Applicants without a cover letter will not be considered.

In collaboration with CenCal Health, PathPoint aims to decrease historical barriers certain groups have faced to access physical and mental healthcare. As a Team Leader, you will be responsible for the project startup, quality, effectiveness, and efficiency of two new community based CenCal programs: Enhanced Care Management (ECM) and Community Supports (CS). In alignment with CalAIM, ECM Services aim to provide comprehensive field-based care management that addresses the clinical and non-clinical needs of the highest-need members enrolled in Medi-Cal managed care plans (MCPs). PathPoint's ECM Services aim to streamline care provision, reduce access disparities, and improve care quality.

As a Team Leader, you will ensure ECM/CS Services are holistic, client-centered, and trauma-informed, and the client's background, such as race, ethnicity, socioeconomic status, past housing history, gender identity, etc., are considered to create a treatment plan that best resonates with them. You will provide community-based assessments for people who may be without a home, have substance use disorder, and or a mild/moderate mental health diagnosis. You will ensure the use of client-centered tools, like motivational interviewing, to address critical mental and physical health issues (including substance use), promote ongoing health maintenance tasks (such as visiting the doctor, exercise, and medication management), and increase housing retention. In this role, you will collaborate with the Executive Director to develop policies, procedures, workflow processes, and measurable goals for the department. As a Team Leader it is your responsibility to direct, coordinate and assign duties and performance goals to team members. You will also ensure that all department activities and operations are carried out in compliance with local, state, and federal regulations and laws governing business operations.
