The SWIFT Clinician is a new role within the Student Well-being, Intervention, and Follow-Through (SWIFT) department, a part of the Health Well-Being and Safety (HWS) division at UCR. This position provides clinical intervention, assessment, education, and prevention for a wide range of mental health challenges students may experience. In this role, the SWIFT Clinician will provide professional mental health crisis assessment, treatment/intervention, and prevention services in support of UC Riverside's commitment to re-envisioning campus safety and policing towards a welcoming service-oriented, and community-centric university campus. The incumbent will also promote a campus culture emphasizing fair, collaborative, and trusting community relationships, and respectful and humane methods for mental health and campus safety. The person in this role must be a skilled professional who is multi-culturally proficient/affirming, has experience with trauma-informed care, and demonstrates experience in providing crisis intervention services. The incumbent will play a critical role in achieving the unit's organizational objectives. The incumbent will respond to crisis situations and may deliver on- and off-site, immediate and personalized interventions within a framework of inclusion, excellence, and social justice. Because the nature of support needed for students in crisis may occur out of the office, services provided out on-campus will be in a co-response model with an accompaniment of the newly formed Campus Safety Responder (CSR) team member (a specially trained non-sworn professional trained in de-escalation). This role will also help students navigate resources on- and off-campus, and support students who have challenges related to post-hospitalization/discharge from state or local psychiatric hospitals. Additionally, this role will be asked to work outside of non-traditional work hours.

Please be advised that applicants are required to submit a cover letter and a curriculum vitae/resume for full consideration. Candidates may be required to provide a work sample and/or conduct a presentation as a part of the interview process. Additionally, the classification title and salary range for this position are currently under review.

This position has multiple openings.

The expected budgeted pay scale for this position is $78,700 to $111,900 annually. Placement within the range is based on the individual's qualifications as they relate to this position (e.g., related: education, experience, licensures, certifications, etc.) and other business and organizational needs.
