The Outreach Case Manager provides outreach, long-term engagement, and supportive services for participants through intensive case management activities and collaboration with existing services available through Island County and all other service providers in the county.
Referrals come from individuals and organizations who might encounter an individual who could benefit from the Recovery Navigator program such as law enforcement, community-based organizations, and emergency medical services.
The Outreach Case Manager will provide direct, field-based services to individuals who may have extensive history of psychiatric hospitalizations, are unhoused, have co-occurring substance use disorders, mental health disorders or issues, medical problems, or are involved in the criminal justice system. Services might include helping individuals with housing, parenting, benefits, symptom management, medical care, behavioral health treatment and employment, all performed where those in need are located.
The Outreach Case Manager will provide assessments of individual needs to determine stressors and targeted intervention points to improve the individual’s overall stability and functioning. The Outreach Case Manager will work with Outreach Peer Navigators to ensure immediate field-based response when a referral is made. For individuals who are not interested in accessing SUD and/or mental health services, Outreach Case Managers will focus on regular and ongoing engagement to ensure a relationship is maintained so subsequent support can be quickly addressed.
A resume and cover letter must be submitted with application to be considered for this position.
