The Department of Psychiatry at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill School of Medicine is seeking a full-time, fixed-term position at the Clinical Instructor level to serve as the Team Lead for the UNC Assertive Community Treatment Team (ACTT) operating in Orange and Chatham Counties.
ACTT is an intensive, multi-disciplinary, community-based mental health service for adults with a primary severe and persistent mental illness as well as co-occurring substance use disorders, chronic medical issues, and/or intellectual/developmental disabilities. ACTT services target individuals who have significant functional impairments, as well as complicating treatment factors including frequent psychiatric hospitalizations, homelessness or housing instability, criminal justice involvement, or other barriers to engagement in more traditional office-based services.
The primary responsibilities of the ACT Team Lead position are to provide clinical leadership and oversight, in collaboration with the psychiatric care provider(s), to the ACTT program, including clinical and administrative supervision of staff and managing the day-to-day operations of the team. The Team Lead is responsible for oversight of ACTT recipients’ service authorization, and outcomes reporting as required by LME/MCO or other entities. The Team Lead works in conjunction with program leadership and administrative staff to maximize program revenue while ensuring delivery of high-quality services.
The Team Lead is also a practicing clinician and provides direct services to individuals served by the ACT Team, including evidence-based therapies, psychoeducation and support for individuals’ family members, clinical assessments, crisis response services, and development and implementation of person-centered treatment plans.
