How you make a difference:
The Residential Services Coordinator (RSC) is an entry-level position responsible for providing direct care to a specific patient population under the direction and supervision of treatment personnel at the facility.

This position requires a willingness to learn, follow directions, and work collaboratively with treatment personnel to meet patient needs.

• Write detailed reports on various subjects, interact with the public as required, and follow policies and procedures while working in a model that involves verbally guiding patients and providing supportive oversight during off-site activities.
• Monitor and track environmental concerns through inspections of equipment, systems, and physical structures, addressing emergency responses alongside clinical and medical team members to ensure patient safety and employing verbal de-escalation techniques to modify disruptive behaviors.
• Maintain a proactive role in observing patients, providing de-escalation and redirection as needed, and actively participating in creating a safe and therapeutic environment through a focus on verbal guidance and communication rather than physical force whenever possible.
