This position is part of a new, innovative behavioral health initiative launching in western Nebraska. During the initial phase of implementation, services will be delivered primarily through a customized mobile unit while our permanent crisis and residential treatment facility undergoes renovation. This mobile model allows our team to meet individuals where they are, reducing barriers to care, strengthening community partnerships, and responding flexibly to local needs. As construction is completed, this role will transition into a clinic-based and residential treatment setting within our newly refurbished hospital facility.
This position offers a unique opportunity to help build a behavioral health program from the ground up. Staff will play a key role in launching mobile services, strengthening community partnerships, and shaping future clinic-based operations.
