Description

Lead a Multidisciplinary Team Delivering Life-Changing Care as an ACT Team Leader

Compass Health is seeking a Team Leader for our Assertive Community Treatment (ACT) team—a high-impact role guiding a multidisciplinary group of professionals who deliver community-based behavioral health care for individuals with serious mental illness. This full-time, benefit-eligible position offers the opportunity to lead with purpose, ensuring quality service delivery while maintaining a small clinical caseload yourself.

You’ll work primarily Monday through Friday, with availability for consultation outside of regular hours. This role includes oversight of adult populations. Experience with co-occurring disorders and family-focused programs is a plus.

ACT, ACT TAY, and STEPS programs are a way of providing many types of service to people with chronic mental health disorders. ACT/STEPS teams provide services directly to people in their community. People who access ACT/STEPS services receive wrap-around psychiatric services, but within the comfort of their own home and community. ACT/STEPS team members are comprised of professionals in the areas of psychiatry, social work, nursing, substance use disorders, supported employment, and peer support so they have the skills they need to meet the many needs of the people they serve. The ACT/STEPS team provides these services 24 hours a day, seven days a week, each day of the year.

This is a great opportunity for someone who thrives in a leadership role, values integrated community-based care, and is committed to helping clients live independently and with dignity. If you’re passionate about team development, clinical excellence, and supporting high-need populations, we’d love to meet you.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead and supervise a multidisciplinary ACT team, including clinical oversight, daily operations, and team support
• Provide at least one hour of face-to-face supervision per staff member weekly and be available for consultation as needed
• Ensure timely screenings, assessments, and service coordination for new and existing clients
• Oversee team meetings, documentation practices, and quality assurance
• Maintain staffing levels and participate in hiring decisions
• Report regularly on program operations, budget adherence, and progress toward strategic goals
• Support a small clinical caseload and model person-centered, recovery-focused care

Requirements, Skills, Knowledge and Expertise

• Master’s degree in social work or related field required
• At least six months experience working with persons with serious and persistent mental illness required

Licensure/Certification

• PLPC, LPC, LMSW or LCSW valid in the state of Missouri required

You’ll Be A Great Fit for This Role if You:

• Have strong leadership skills and a collaborative, team-first mindset
• Are energized by complex work that requires flexibility, empathy, and critical thinking
• Believe in person-centered care and empowering individuals to live successfully in their community
• Have experience or interest in co-occurring treatment models, especially those serving families or transitional-aged youth
• Are confident managing team performance, supporting staff development, and maintaining clinical excellence
