Job Description

Who We Are

Pawnee Mental Health is a non-profit Certified Community Behavioral Health Center (CCBHC) helping underserved populations in 10 counties here in North-Central Kansas.

We are a vibrant community of passionate people looking for our next teammate – you!

The Role You Play

As a school-based case manager at Pawnee, you will be responsible for assessing the needs of children with severe emotional disturbances and developing a plan to enhance their functioning in the school setting primarily. You will also be responsible for coordinating treatment by identifying and establishing services with various community organizations. This position will require evening work; however, your schedule is up to you.

The Day-to-Day:

• Work with the treatment team to identify treatment goals and strategies
• Identify, establish, and coordinate treatment services by liaising with schools or other outside organizations
• Build relationships with clients and their families while helping them make informed choices to meet their basic needs
• Appropriately document plans and updates in the child’s health record
• Provide resources and education to families about mental illness
• Assist families with maintaining the benefits they need to successfully continue the rehabilitation process

Who You Are

The ideal candidate is reliable and trustworthy, (you will be expected to set and keep your own schedule after all!), and has a passion for working with children. They are also an excellent multitasker – someone who is organized and capable of bringing their own structure to a job. Finally, you will be working with high-needs children, so a proven ability to manage high-stress situations eloquently, tactfully, and professionally is required.
