Job Number: 25-6035

Job Summary: This QMHP case manager position provides case management services for People Living with HIV (PLWH) who have a substance use disorder and/or a mental health disorder. Case management includes a range of person-centered services that link clients with primary medical care, psychosocial services and other support services. Key activities include initial assessment of client strengths and needs; development of a comprehensive and individualized person-centered care plan; coordination of the services required to implement the plan; client monitoring to assess the efficacy of the plan; and periodic reevaluation and revision of the plan as necessary until discharged from services.

Case managers provide coordination, guidance, and assistance in accessing medical, social, housing, community, legal, financial, employment, vocational, and/or other needed services. Case managers provide assistance in obtaining medical, public benefits (for example - Medicare, Medicaid), social, community, legal, financial, and other needed services. Case managers assist clients in the completion of applications for commonly needed services, including SNAP food benefits, taxi vouchers, housing through Project Transitions (an Austin-area nonprofit that provides hospice, respite care, housing and support to people living with HIV), Housing Opportunities for People Living with AIDS, Best Single Source Plus, Section 8 and public housing, Meals on Wheels and More, the Texas HIV Medication Program, and Capital Metro's Metro Access transportation program. Regular communication, either by telephone or in person, is maintained with clients to establish rapport as well as to foster self-advocacy and increase self-sufficiency skills. Staff provide services in venues that are convenient to the client, which include telephone contact and office, community and home visits. Case managers provide referrals to clients as determined when appropriate or necessary. Referrals are a mutual decision between the client and case manager in which the client agrees to accept a service referral from the case manager for services not currently being accessed.

Regular, predictable attendance is considered to be an essential requirement for this position. Other duties may be assigned. May require a flexible work schedule.
