Job Description:
**Position serves locations in NC, VA, and Eastern Shore of MD**
(candidates must reside in one of these states and be willing to
travel)
The Regional Director of Mental Health (RDMH) is integral to
ensuring the mental services meet or exceed the local standard of
care and that the programs provided are consistent across all
sites. The RDMH assumes a consultative role within the field
operations organization, meaning they provide guidance, direction
and support of Mental Health programs as requested by the Regional
Directors of Operations (RDOs), Regional Nurse Executives (RNEs),
Vice Presidents of Operations, and/or the Vice President of Mental
Health (VP MH), ensuring Mental Health staff are trained and
supported in the delivery of care, acting as a conduit for the
sharing of information and collaborating with field operations and
clinical leadership. The RDMH will have a primary focus on
implementation of mental health programs, training mental health
staff, and training custody/security staff at our county locations.
RDMH functions in close collaboration with the operational
leadership to provide clinical oversight, case consultation,
training, and on-boarding, suicide prevention programmatic tools
and clinical supervision to site mental health leadership. The RDMH
also participates in patient safety, recruiting, retention, and
business development initiatives. Periodically, the RDMH may be
asked to participate in co-creating performance management plans
for mental health staff. The performance management process will be
led by the Health Services Administer (HSA) and/ or Regional
Director of Operations with input from the RDMH. The RDMH
supervises the Regional Mental Health Specialist in their region.
On a periodic basis the RDMH may be asked to take a more active
role in the performance management of Mental Health staff; however,
that should be considered the exception to the rule and in most
instances temporary.
