D103 - Licensed Mental health Clinician-ACT

Serving more than 10,000 Georgians, River Edge continues to be one of the state's leading resources for mental health, substance use disorder treatments and supports, as well as individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities. River Edge offers outpatient services at our Emery Highway-Macon, Monroe County, and Baldwin County locations. Outpatient services include behavioral health, nursing, and psychiatric assessment, stabilization and medication maintenance services, as well as crisis intervention services, awareness, education, and recovery groups.

About the role

River Edge is seeking a Licensed or Associate Licensed professional in the fields of Social Work, Marriage and Family Therapy, or Professional Counseling to fill the role of Assistant Lead for our Assertive Community Treatment (ACT) Team. In this position, you will support and assist the Lead in the effective operation of the ACT Team, ensuring the delivery of high-quality mental health services.

ACT is a highly intensive, outreach-based service provided by a multidisciplinary team of professionals. The program targets individuals with serious and persistent mental illness, many of whom have a co-occurring diagnosis of substance abuse. These individuals typically do not engage in traditional clinic-based treatment, so the ACT Team delivers services directly to them in their homes, shelters, or other community settings. ACT services are available 24/7 through an on-call rotation among team members, including after-hours and weekends, serving Baldwin and Bibb counties.
