DESCRIPTION

Department of Health & Human Services: Behavioral Health (BH)
 
Mission Statement:
Enhancing individual and family wellness through integrated care and community connections.

Lane County Behavioral Health Services encompass a broad array of services and programs. Services include treatment for children, families, and adults. Services can be accessed through a variety of programs focusing on mental health issues. Lane County Behavioral Health Services is a public mental health provider receiving funding from state mental health grants and client fees, some of which may be in the form of Medicaid, Medicare, and other insurance carriers' reimbursements.

This position will provide leadership for Lane County's Community Mental Health and Local Alcohol and Drug Program, including outpatient clinical services, protective services, crisis and commitment, and overall system coordination. This position will manage a large outpatient mental health clinic currently serving 1200 adults and 400 children, as well as an established Methadone Treatment program serving almost 200, and a new and growing Suboxone clinic. This position will also work with community partners and payers to coordinate a system that provides a continuum of care from prevention through treatment and aftercare, that promotes a culture of resilience and recovery.

This position is an exciting opportunity for a leader with mental health expertise who has a passion to serve the community, and enjoys collaborating with partners from public safety, primary care, and housing and homeless systems to help improve lives. The successful candidate will be someone who values organizational health and who is driven to connect--with staff, with clients, and with community partners.

This is the second-level in the general management series and is distinguished from the first level by the responsibility for a large division or programmatic area within a department, typically encompassing broad or multiple functions, programs and/or services, and participation in department wide planning and prioritizing of programs and goals. Incumbents are responsible and accountable for allocating division resources and funds and collaborating with other divisions, departments and outside agencies to ensure implementation of programs and services. The management of activities and operations is typically achieved through direct supervision of managers and supervisors or coordinators.
