National Psychiatric Care and Rehabilitation Services is a Crisis Residential facility serving adults with mental health issues and accompanying substance abuse challenges. We provide round-the-clock support to our residents, and we are seeking a Mental Health Worker to assist with medication administration, perform regular rounds/bed checks, and complete other tasks to keep residents comfortable and safe during their stay.
In addition to performing routine daily tasks, our Mental Health Worker/Security needs to be comfortable engaging our residents in conversations. Thus, we are seeking an individual who also has counseling experience within the work history.
The Mental Health Worker/Security performs duties that require good decision-making and troubleshooting skills. Strong "people" skills are necessary, and experience working in a residential mental health facility is a must.
If you are looking for a great place to work that needs and values your skills, then National Psychiatric Care and Rehabilitation Services could be the perfect match for you.
