Access Services is hiring a full time Assessment Coordinator for the Justice Related Services (JRS) program serving individuals in Montgomery County, with an office based out of Plymouth Meeting, PA.
At JRS, we believe recovery in mental health is real, second chances are possible, and successful reintegration into the community is achievable. We practice a person-centered approach of support and encourage adults with serious mental illness to use their own strengths in achieving success and independence. Our caseworkers collaborate to help adults with mental health navigate the forensic system, whether currently incarcerated or navigating re-entry into the local community. We do this by guiding adults out of incarceration with re-entry plans, and we divert incarceration for other adults by connecting them with the mental health treatment they need.
Our Assessment Coordinator will be a critical team player in allowing us to carry out our JRS mission and the Access Services philosophy of care so that our services meet each individual's needs. This teammate will assess and coordinate services for adults with serious mental illness. The Assessment Coordinator will collaborate with the pre-trial unit, adult probation, and the forensic system partners of Montgomery County and connect each individual to the proper treatment and support for their success.
