JOB EXPECTATIONS:
• Salaried clinicians are expected to work a specific number of hours per week which is comprised of clinical hours (billable activity), administrative time (treatment notes, meetings, supervision, etc.), education and training, and program operations. Attendance at staff meetings, supervisions, and the Quarterly All Staff meeting is required.
• Salaried staff are expected to meet productivity benchmarks and to also contribute to program development; represent the program/hospital at internal and external meetings; help to coordinate certain specialized groups, programs, or activities; and to develop new clinical or didactic skills to enhance treatment or increase staff knowledge.
• Electronic Medical Record will remain up-to-date, complete, professionally written, and in compliance with regulatory agencies.
• Contribute to the creation of a professional treatment setting by always showing respect for clients, co-workers, the institution, and being part of developing an atmosphere without gossip and prejudice.
• Continually seek out information and develop professional skills to work with a broad range of disorders, and expand and share knowledge of resources.
• Each staff member will share responsibility to ensure that program needs are met. This includes working on-site at least one evening per week and having a presence in the office during assigned hours. This may include covering groups/clients when another clinician is out, and handling clients who walk-in for treatment.
• The Director approves all changes in staff schedules; including work done at home, and adjusting schedules to meet client needs.
• Only assignments assessed to be well beyond the normal responsibilities of a staff person within the scheduled work-week may result in the specific reduction of total available time which will, in turn, reduce productivity obligations for that individual during that period. Productivity time is earned only through billable clinical service hours.
