SWIFT Clinician

Job description

The SWIFT Clinician is a new role within the Student Well-being, Intervention, and Follow-Through (SWIFT) department, a part of the Health Well-Being and Safety (HWS) division at UCR. This position provides clinical intervention, assessment, education, and prevention for a wide range of mental health challenges students may experience. In this role, the SWIFT Clinician will provide professional mental health crisis assessment, treatment/intervention, and prevention services in support of UC Riverside's commitment to re-envisioning campus safety and policing towards a welcoming service-oriented, and community-centric university campus. The incumbent will also promote a campus culture emphasizing fair, collaborative, and trusting community relationships, and respectful and humane methods for mental health and campus safety. The person in this role must be a skilled professional who is multi-culturally proficient/affirming, has experience with trauma-informed care, and demonstrates experience in providing crisis intervention services. The incumbent will play a critical role in achieving the unit's organizational objectives. The incumbent will respond to crisis situations and may deliver on- and off-site, immediate and personalized interventions within a framework of inclusion, excellence, and social justice. Because the nature of support needed for students in crisis may occur out of the office, services provided out on-campus will be in a co-response model with an accompaniment of the newly formed Campus Safety Responder (CSR) team member (a specially trained non-sworn professional trained in de-escalation). This role will also help students navigate resources on- and off-campus, and support students who have challenges related to post-hospitalization/discharge from state or local psychiatric hospitals. Additionally, this role will be asked to work outside of non-traditional work hours. To learn more and apply today, please visit Sign up or sign in for contact information
