Lead a Multidisciplinary Team Delivering Life-Changing Care as an ACT Team Leader
Compass Health is seeking a Team Leader for our Assertive Community Treatment (ACT) team—a high-impact role guiding a multidisciplinary group of professionals who deliver community-based behavioral health care for individuals with serious mental illness. This full-time, benefit-eligible position offers the opportunity to lead with purpose, ensuring quality service delivery while maintaining a small clinical caseload yourself.
You’ll work primarily Monday through Friday, with availability for consultation outside of regular hours. This role includes oversight of adult populations. Experience with co-occurring disorders and family-focused programs is a plus.
About ACT/ACT TAY/STEPS
ACT (Assertive Community Treatment)/ACT TAY (Assertive Community Treatment for Transitional-Aged Youth)/STEPS (Shape, Teach, Evolve, Prepare, Support) programs are a way of providing many types of service to people with chronic mental health disorders. ACT/STEPS teams provide services directly to people in their community. People who access ACT/STEPS services receive the wrap-around psychiatric services, but within the comfort of their own home and community. ACT/STEPS team members are comprised of professionals in the areas of psychiatry, social work, nursing, substance use disorders, supported employment, and peer support so they have the skills they need to meet the many needs of the people they serve. The ACT/STEPS team provides these services 24 hours a day, seven days a week, each day of the year.
This is a great opportunity for someone who thrives in a leadership role, values integrated community-based care, and is committed to helping clients live independently and with dignity.
