We are recruiting for a Comprehensive Community Services Case Manager, called a CCS Service Provider, to join our team. This is part-time position that provides services in Wood County, Wisconsin.
According to the Wisconsin Department of Health Services (DHS), “CCS is a program that helps individuals of all ages live their best life by providing support that addresses their unique needs related to mental health and substance use. CCS is intended to assist individuals who are in need of care outside of inpatient settings, but who may have ongoing needs that if left unaddressed, could result in hospitalization during times of crisis.”
CW Solutions CCS Service Providers serve diverse clients by providing mental health management services to individuals, their families and natural supports in both individual and group settings. To be effective, the service provider works with individuals in their homes and communities.
The worker is responsible for mentorship, technique-building and family systems case management, working collaboratively with the CCS wrap-around team to assist individuals in developing skills to successfully manage their mental health diagnosis while engaging with their family, school, employment and social life.
This position requires flexibility of schedule in response to the needs of CCS clients; hours will primarily occur during late afternoon and early evening hours. Weekly hours are based upon the number of CCS clients assigned and their individual CCS plan. Hours will vary from 0 – 25 hours per week, based upon current CCS assignments. The worker has the opportunity to build their own non-traditional independent, consistent weekly schedule that works with both the service provider and client’s availability.
