You’ll help develop and refine individualized treatment plans, making sure every client is on the path to success.

Documentation:

You’ll keep accurate, up-to-date clinical records and documentation in line with University Health standards, and make sure everything is submitted within 24 hours.
Ensure all Release of Information (ROI) documents are handled in accordance with protocol.

Productivity:

Continuous Improvement:

Customer Service Excellence:

Whether you’re interacting with clients, their families, or coworkers, you’ll always present a friendly, approachable, and professional demeanor. Everyone who walks through our doors should feel heard and supported.

Compliance and Training:

Stay current on all relevant laws, regulations, and standards to make sure we’re always in compliance with healthcare guidelines.
Participate in training and compliance activities as required, always striving to improve both personally and professionally.
