The Health Services Department is requesting to add one permanent full-time Clerk – Experienced Level positoin assigned to the Behavioral Health Division’s Older Adult Mental Health Program. The primary responsibility will include answering phones, filing mental health medical files, assisting with the increasing documentation required for Mental Health Services Act funding and clerical support to program managers, clinicians and senior peer counselors. The Department has determined one full time Clerk – Experienced Level would be the most appropriate classification to address this growing need.  

If this action is not approved, the Health Services Department will not have the appropriate level of staffing for its Behavioral Health Division’s Older Adult Mental Health Program.
