Class Concept
This is professional work in providing, coordinating and being accountable for the inter-disciplinary personcentered services to individuals with intellectual/developmental disabilities and/or co-occurring disorders. Positions are found in a specialized facility that provides services to individuals with intellectual/developmental disabilities that may have complex behavioral and/or medical needs. Assigned work of these positions is to: create, modify, implement, and assess individualized behavioral, vocational, and/or social person-centered care plans; ensure compliance with residential-based health, safety, and person-centered services as required by State/federal laws, and facility policies and procedures; and establish, implement, and monitor program goals, quality controls, and policies/procedures for defined residential units or homes. Positions coordinate the service delivery of professional disciplines such as nursing, psychology, social work, therapeutic recreation, PT, and OT in the implementation of personcentered plans.
Positions supervise direct care staff and may serve as the manager on call, which involves decision-making for the assigned cottage/residential living area. They may manage the operations (e.g., budgetary and resource allocation) of one or two residential units and facilitate services with departmental professional and ancillary services. Positions chair the interdisciplinary treatment team and provide specific and detailed input toward developing/modifying individuals' behavioral, vocational, and/or social development active treatment plans. This role is differentiated from the Human Services Provider Program Coordinator I by the degree of accountability, which may include three shifts, increased scope of location assignments, and independence of action in more comprehensive programming and administrative decision-making.
