Job Summary

HealthRIGHT 360, a nonprofit organization and a family of programs, is committed to providing accessible and comprehensive healthcare services to vulnerable populations. Our mission is to tackle systemic barriers to healthcare and promote health equity for all. We offer a wide range of services, including mental health care, residential and outpatient substance use treatment, and primary health services. Additionally, we provide transitional support for individuals re‑entering the community after involvement in the criminal justice system. By integrating physical and behavioral health, we empower individuals to overcome challenges by addressing social determinants of health, fostering resilience, and facilitating recovery.

The San Francisco Intake Services Program works with high‑risk populations from a variety of backgrounds. Our programs are open and welcoming to adult participants, of any gender identity. We accept the majority of participants who seek Outpatient treatment, including walk‑in’s, referrals from other agencies and step‑down transitional clients from residential treatment programs.

The Intake Coordinator II is an integral part of an interdisciplinary team that supports our clients through the assessment of their needs and strengths in support of their health and recovery. Intake Coordinator II will work in a collaborative environment to connect clients to the level of treatment they need while managing a small caseload of individual clients or facilitating group treatments. Since many of our clients have backgrounds in the criminal justice system, are chronically homeless and/or otherwise economically disenfranchised, Intake Coordinator II will show flexibility in being able to meet the changing needs of our programs, can tolerate working in a fast‑paced variable working environment, and will assess our clients for harm to self and others, and will diagnose and treat such clients with co‑occurring disorders.
