Dungarvin assists people with intellectual disabilities, developmental disabilities, physical disabilities, autism, and/or mental health diagnoses in a variety of programs with a focus on person-centered practices. We encourage people served to explore their dreams while our employees provide support in making meaningful decisions and providing active treatment at each opportunity.

ABOUT THE PROGRAM:

Mental Health Specialist II (MHS2) work in our Acute Behavioral Services (ABS) programs. These are highly specialized programs in which we serve individuals with intensive, interfering behavioral and mental health needs. The persons receiving these services have many of the following characteristics: previously placed in a highly restricted facility, high incidents of crisis situations, high behaviors or anti-social issues, multiple hospitalizations/commitments/institutional stays, history of law enforcement involvement due to behaviors, and multiple failed placements. These group homes have been significantly modified to eliminate safety concerns. Consistency and routine are key factors in the proven success of these programs. Because of the complex/high-level behaviors, MHS2's are provided training for manual restraints and will experience mental, emotional, and physical manipulation from the person we support. Staff may be exposed to severe verbal aggression that may include disparaging remarks, racial slurs, and swearing. ABS programs utilize a person-centered approach to creating a program that focuses on supporting a person to reach their goals while still considering the safety of the individual, staff, and the community.

WHAT YOU WILL DO:

The MHS II is responsible for providing direct care and direct supports to each person served according to their needs. This includes intense interfering behavioral health management, assisting in maintaining a clean, safe living environment, assisting and training on daily living skills, transportation and support while promoting a person-centered approach. These are caregiver positions with an emphasis on mental health and behavior management support. Past experience in direct support professional roles as well as behavior technician would be similar in responsibilities.

Qualifications:

• Must be at least 18 years old, 21 years old for some sites
• High School Diploma or GED
• 3 years of experience working with mental illness - Experience with behavior management a plus!
• Valid driver's license with acceptable driving record is required
• Current auto liability insurance
• Reliable transportation
• Must be physically fit and be able to stand, squat, bend, or walk for long periods of time. Ability to lift 50lbs is necessary.
• Basic computer skills.

Hours Worked:
May be full-time or part-time, with a mixture of weekday and weekend hours. All persons in this position should be prepared to work weekends and holidays.

At Dungarvin, diversity and inclusion are a part of what makes our organization strong. Together, we can continue to work towards an inclusive culture that supports our employees and persons served.
