Description
At Wayfinder Family Services, we understand the unique challenges facing some of our state’s most vulnerable children, youth and adults. Those with disabilities, those without a home of their own, those who have been abused and many, many more. We answer the call for them. We believe in the amazing potential in, and for, each and every one of them. And, together, we find a way to turn that potential into reality.
Position and Role Summary
Wayfinder’s ATLAS program connects Sacramento County children, youth, and families to community outreach, early intervention, outpatient mental health, and Therapeutic Behavioral Services that improve access to care, strengthen families, and support long-term stability.
The primary focus on the Clinical Program Manager is to provide clinical leadership for an assigned clinical team within ATLAS, Wayfinder's integrated children's specialty mental health services program under contract with Sacramento County Behavioral Health Services, and to hold accountability for clinical quality, medical necessity and documentation compliance, access and timeliness performance, evidence-based practice fidelity where applicable, and service outcomes for the children, youth, and families served by that team.
The salary range reasonably expected for this position is $85,000 - $95,000.
Primary Responsibilities:
- Directs the day-to-day clinical operations of the assigned team and ensures its services operate within one integrated ATLAS SMHS continuum, with IP-CANS driven service intensity and the Child and Family Team process applied consistently across pathways.
- Supervises clinical and rehabilitative staff, maintains clinician caseloads at appropriate active point-in-time levels, and assigns and reassigns cases by clinical fit, staff qualification and certification status, and capacity.
- Provides individual and group clinical supervision meeting Board of Behavioral Sciences standards, ensures timely review and co-signature of documentation for associate-level, registered, and paraprofessional staff, and ensures all team staff obtain and maintain required licensure, registration, certification, and Sacramento County Behavioral Health Services staff registration.
- Oversees discharge and step-down based on treatment progress, the most recent IP-CANS, and family readiness, ensures completion of the final IP-CANS, PSC-35, and discharge summary with clear reentry pathways, and ensures re-engagement is accepted without re-referral.
- Participates in the monthly evidence-based practice integration meeting and coordinates with the other ATLAS clinical teams and the Early Intervention and Outreach and Engagement component so that referrals, step-ups, and step-downs occur without loss of continuity.
- Supports the Program Director in County monitoring, audits, chart reviews, and corrective action plans, and implements resulting corrective actions within the assigned team.
- Performs other duties as may become necessary or as directed.
