Greater Lakes Mental Healthcare is seeking a Team Leader to join our new Homeless Outreach and Stabilization Team (HOST). HOST is a multidisciplinary team focused specifically on engaging those who are actively experiencing homelessness, with substance use disorder (SUD) or co-occurring SUD and mental health conditions, and whose severity of behavioral health symptoms creates a barrier to accessing and receiving conventional behavioral health services and outreach models.

We directly empower and provide hope to our clients through individualized treatment options. You will thrive in a complex and collaborative environment where you take action and ownership to solve problems and lead change. We are looking to hire those with internal drive and compassion in order to promote our company’s mission, vision, and values through outcome-based strategies, which support the principles of Recovery and Trauma-Informed Care.

Greater Lakes Homeless Outreach Stabilization and Transition (HOST) program provides outreach-based treatment services to individuals with serious behavioral health challenges including substance use disorder (SUD). This multidisciplinary team can provide SUD, medical, rehabilitative, and peer services in the field to individuals who lack consistent access to these vital services.

The Team Leader duties include orienting and training new team members, monitoring each team member’s clinical documentation, coaching all assigned team members, providing clinical consultation and review, and regular updates to the department Manager/Director.
