Service Facilitator:
As a service facilitation provider with Hope Inspired, you are responsible for utilizing a strengths-based and trauma-informed approach to aid clients in aspects of their life for which they seek assistance. The client decides which direction they want to go, and you are the one to guide and walk alongside by putting services in place that will take the client in the direction of what they want their recovery to be. You then monitor those services to ensure they are continually meeting the needs of the client. This includes ongoing assessment and treatment planning for each client and the timely completion of all 30-day, 6-month, and yearly paperwork. Additionally, all documentation for services should be completed preferably the same day of service, but no later than two days after the service is performed, or according to Hope Inspired current policy. All activities should revolve around client achievement of the highest possible level of independent functioning. With each client you are assigned to facilitate services you will:
1. Assessment: Complete an intake for your client in coordination with a Dane County intake worker. Within 27 days of intake, complete a thorough and clinically sound assessment of the client’s life including 16 different domains. Throughout the assessment, evaluate and assess difficulties in psychosocial functioning. The assessment is to be updated every 6 months.
2. Recovery and Treatment Planning: Based on the assessment, by day 27, develop a 6-month Recovery/Treatment Plan with the client’s goals and measurable objectives to alleviate difficulties and increase needed skill development identified in the assessment.

This part of the job is a "boots on the ground" position where you are very involved with your clients to help them obtain what they need, you advocate for them, you empower them, and you are their go-to person. This requires the ability to be flexible, multi-task, and to be willing to do what needs to be done to support the client, within appropriate boundaries and structure.
Examples of duties: Attend psychiatric appointments with your clients, drive to and help your clients apply for housing, social security, or other services, help them understand and maintain their health and food benefits, guide them through anxious situations, help them make phone calls, get them to their medication assisted treatment appointments by taking them yourself, or setting up cab rides, provide appointment reminders, manage their team of providers, review their teams notes and ensure the team is attending to the goals listed in their recovery plan, write their recovery plan and assessment and update every six months, call the police if they need a welfare check due to suicidality, put referrals in for treatment, and much more.
