Healthcare$36.93–$40.62/hrTemporary
We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Pay and Schedule only if present. The posting includes Pay Scale: $36.93-$40.62/hour (Licensed: $87,963.20 - $96,759.52 annually). So we need a Pay section. Schedule? Not mentioned. Benefits? Not explicitly listed; there is mention of crisis line pay differential, but not benefits like health insurance. So we should not create Benefits unless present. The posting includes "Maintain active license and/or registrations as applicable (i.e. BBS, CCAPP)." etc. Also "Participate in the Division’s 24-hour crisis line on a two-week rotating basis a few times per year (includes pay differential)." That's a duty, not benefit. So we will not include Benefits. We need sections: About the role (overview/mission), Responsibilities (essential functions), Requirements (maybe Minimum Qualifications?), Qualifications (maybe Preferred?), Skills (Skills And Abilities). The instructions: Use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). We should include only those with real content. We have content for About the role: includes Mission, Org. Summary, The Program, The Position description. We'll put that in About the role. Responsibilities: Essential Functions list (multiple bullet points). We'll extract those as
  • . Requirements: Minimum Qualifications (Unlicensed and Licensed). Could be separate but we can combine under Requirements. Qualifications: Preferred qualifications (Lived experience etc.) maybe under Qualifications. Skills: Skills And Abilities. Pay: Pay Scale. Schedule: none. We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID. We must remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO etc. Not present. We must preserve all substantive info; not invent. We need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown fences. Let's craft. Structure:

    About the role

    ... mission etc ...

    We need to include the overview: Mission, Org. Summary, The Program, The Position description. We'll combine into prose. Then Responsibilities:

    Responsibilities

    • ... each essential function bullet.
    We need to ensure we capture all essential functions bullet points. The posting repeats some content (like "Engage and join with collaterals..." appears twice). We should preserve but not duplicate? The instruction: Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. Remove duplicated lines. So we should deduplicate identical lines. Let's list essential functions from the text: - Assess potential RDP participants and make diversion recommendations to the court - Engage potential diversion participants in services. - Provide brief motivational intervention and information related to services offered through the RDP program. - Review collateral information (i.e. discovery provided by the client’s defense attorney, mental health treatment history) and conduct a clinical interview. - Assessment to include but not be limited to mental health diagnosis, readiness for change and needed community linkages. - Formulate a diagnosis, comprehensive treatment plan and recommendations to court for potential diversion. - Engage and join with collaterals (family members, court) as appropriate. - Provide education related to mental health recovery to better support clients. - Engage in client advocacy. - Conduct reassessments when requested and make recommendations regarding ongoing participation in RDP and modify treatment recommendations as needed. - Service delivery is consistent with ethical standards and a harm reduction, strength based, trauma informed framework. - Link clients to appropriate treatment services - Identify and enroll clients in appropriate treatment programs (e.g. residential substance treatment, mental health clinics, etc.), moving with particular urgency for clients in custody. - Support clients to accept, participate in, and adhere to their treatment programs, using techniques such as motivational interviewing and facilitating problem solving. - Maintain up-to-date knowledge of behavioral health treatment programs and community resources and how to navigate the LA County system of care. - Establish and maintain relationships with community treatment providers and resources. - Coordinate participant treatment program with court-based needs. - Support new clients in understanding the court process, appropriate court conduct, and their specific responsibilities for diversion. - Ensure clients are aware of and attend upcoming court dates as needed. - Maintain a detailed log of client progress and status of pending linkages. - Collaborate with defense attorney to understand any court-based requirements and coordinate efforts. - Provide routine linkage updates. - Engage and join with collaterals (family members, court) as appropriate. (duplicate) - Provide education related to accessing mental health recovery services to better support clients. (similar to earlier but slightly different) - Engage in client advocacy.

(duplicate) - Collaborate with RDP Supervisor/Clinician throughout the screening, treatment recommendation processes and linkages to ensure alignment. - Coordinate day-to-day operation with external stakeholders and case management team - Build and maintain strong working relationships with RDP court staff, including but not limited to judges, judicial assistants and attorneys. - Track court dates and submit thorough, high quality diversion reports per program guidelines. - Liaise with case management team and court staff regarding treatment plan and the status of any pending linkages. - Ensure Case Managers clearly understand the clients responsibilities for diversion so that they are able to effectively support clients and complete linkages as needed. - Collaborate with public and private community health, mental health, and social service agencies. - Documentation and Reporting - Maintain comprehensive case notes in the electronic health record per program guidelines. - Participate in program data collection per program guidelines. - Fulfill baseline Project 180 staff expectations - Regular attendance required. - Holiday or weekend work may be required. - Maintain and uphold Agency mission statement, values, policies, procedures, and principles. - Perform other duties as needed. - Maintain active license and/or registrations as applicable (i.e. BBS, CCAPP). - Licensed Clinicians Only: Participate in the Division’s 24-hour crisis line on a two-week rotating basis a few times per year (includes pay differential). - Maintain Los Angeles County active LPS designation. - Conduct clinical risk assessments and, when appropriate, facilitate psychiatric hospitalizations and/or develop safety plans. We need to deduplicate identical lines. Let's identify duplicates: - "Engage and join with collaterals (family members, court) as appropriate." appears twice. - "Provide education related to mental health recovery to better support clients." appears once; later "Provide education related to accessing mental health recovery services to better support clients." is slightly different (accessing mental health recovery services vs mental health recovery). Not identical, keep both. - "Engage in client advocacy." appears twice. - "Service delivery is consistent with ethical standards and a harm reduction, strength based, trauma informed framework." appears twice. We should keep only one instance of each duplicate. Also "Link clients to appropriate treatment services" appears as a heading? It's a bullet. We'll produce a list with unique items. Now Requirements: Minimum Qualifications (Unlicensed and Licensed). We'll present as
    • ... maybe separate bullet for each. Qualifications: Preferred qualifications: list bullet points. Skills: Skills And Abilities list. Pay: Pay Scale. Now we need to ensure we don't include sections with placeholder text. All good. Now produce HTML. Let's craft About the role paragraph: We can combine mission, org summary, program, position. Paragraph: "SSG-Project 180 provides practical and clinical behavioral health, re-entry, and diversion solutions that empower justice-involved Angelenos to achieve lasting personal transformation and reclaim their lives. Project 180 is a leader in the forensic treatment space, offering high-quality, specialized treatment programs that serve thousands of justice-involved individuals. Programs span criminal justice intercepts and include pre-arrest interventions, court-based diversions, jail in-reach, and intensive post-release services, operating in partnership with County agencies including the Department of Mental Health (DMH), the Department of Health Services (DHS), and the Justice, Care and Opportunities Department (JCOD). Annually, they serve over 1,500 justice-involved individuals. Core values: Humanity, Integrity, Adaptability, Empowerment, Equity, Interdependence. The Rapid Diversion Program (RDP) is a County-operated program that diverts criminal defendants out of the criminal legal system at the early stages of the court process, providing in-court mental health evaluation, linkage to treatment services, and case management support; participants’ criminal case is dismissed upon successful program completion. The RDP Mental Health Clinician is based out of an LA County courthouse, screening defendants for program suitability, formulating treatment plans, providing ongoing clinical recommendations and expertise, linking new RDP clients to appropriate services and resources as recommended in their treatment plan, requiring strong clinical judgment and understanding of mental health and substance abuse treatment programs, forging partnerships with service providers, and working with urgency to facilitate program connections for defendants in LA County criminal courts in mental health diversion. This role reports to the RDP Program Supervisor, coordinates with external stakeholders and the case management team, and is an interim position with an anticipated end date of April 2027, with possibility of becoming permanent." That seems comprehensive. Now Responsibilities list: We'll produce
      • items. We need to ensure we include all unique essential functions. Let's list unique items in order as they appear, skipping duplicates.
