Job description

Mobilization Mental Health Clinician

Launch wellness and behavioral health support at every new site.

As a Mobilization Mental Health Clinician on Alert Rescue’s Corporate Mobilization Team, you will stand up the on-site wellness and behavioral health service at each new site, train local mental health staff and clinical teams, and support crews after critical incidents. Our first deployment is in Colorado, where on-site mental health services run Monday to Friday for 12 hours and Saturday for 8 hours. You will be based at our Texas corporate office and travel to project sites up to 30% of the time.

What you’ll do

When deployed, you will perform the duties of the site mental health role, along with the shared mobilization duties and the following.

Service set-up

• Set up the wellness space, scheduling, referral list, and crisis resources for each site with the Director of Wellness and Mental Health (DOW).

Training and support

• Teach local mental health staff the wellness protocols once the DOW has signed them.
• Train all clinical staff in suicide screening, de-escalation, safe handoff to 911, and the Colorado emergency mental health hold process.
• Provide brief counseling and crisis assessment within your license and the wellness protocols.
• Run critical incident support for crews and workers after a death, serious injury, or mass casualty incident (MCI), and arrange follow-up.
• Support the deployed team’s own well-being and fatigue plan during long deployments.
• Help the DOW and the Director of Nursing (DON) build the mental health competency checklist.

Scope of practice

You will work only within your license or certification in the state where care is given, and within your written Alert Rescue authorization. This role does not:

• Provide patient care in Colorado before your Colorado license is issued; no licensure compact currently covers Licensed Professional Counselors or Licensed Clinical Social Workers between Texas and Colorado.
• Rely on the Psychology Interjurisdictional Compact (PSYPACT) for a full deployment; it allows no more than 30 in-person days per calendar year per state.
• Start an emergency mental health hold unless your Colorado license and training qualify you as an intervening professional under Colorado law.
• Prescribe medication; medication questions go to the Nurse Practitioner or physician.

What you’ll bring

• Current, unrestricted Texas license as a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), or licensed psychologist at hire.
• A Colorado license of the same type before deployment; we will file your Colorado application when you are hired.
• 5+ years of post-licensure clinical experience.
• American Heart Association (AHA) Basic Life Support (BLS) certification.
• Ability to travel up to 30% of the year, with overnight stays; deployments usually 2 to 8 weeks

Preferred

• Colorado license already in hand.
• Critical Incident Stress Management (CISM) training; experience with first responders, construction workers, or industrial workers.
• Mental Health First Aid or suicide-prevention gatekeeper instructor credential.
• Spanish language skills
