RECOMMENDATION(S):

ADOPT Position Adjustment Resolution No. 22357 to add one Mental Health Community Support Worker II (VQVB) position at salary plan and grade level TC5-0875 ($2,920-$3,550) in the Health Services Department. (Represented)

FISCAL IMPACT:

Upon approval, this request has an annual cost of approximately $83,274 with pension cost of $16,222 already included. The cost is fully funded by Mental Health Services Innovation grant funds.

BACKGROUND:

The Health Services Department is requesting to add one Mental Health Community Support Worker II to the Behavioral Health Division. This position will support the new East County Mental Health Clinic Tele-Psychiatry Program. The incumbent will play a vital role in assisting in the delivery of tele-psychiatry services and ensuring quality care for those mental health consumers who receive tele-psychiatry medication support services.

The primary duties will include setting up tele-psychiatry equipment; monitoring and assisting consumers' needs during the visit, including any risk management events; obtaining, completing and maintaining consumer chart documentation in compliance with the Behavioral Health documentation standards and policies; and other related duties as assigned.
