Must be currently registered with the Board of Behavioral Sciences as: Associate Clinical Social Worker, an Associate Marriage and Family Therapist, or an Associate Professional Clinical Counselor, Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, or Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor.

The Riverside University Health Systems - Behavioral Health, CBAT 911 Dispatch department is currently recruiting for a Clinical Therapist I/II position located in Riverside.

The Clinical Therapist I/II provides specialized support to law enforcement, individuals experiencing a mental health crisis, their families, and collaborating mental health professionals.

Unlike community-based field roles, the CBAT 911 Clinician is assigned to the RSO Dispatch Center, where they assist dispatch staff in triaging incoming 911 calls involving behavioral health concerns.

This role requires a high level of clinical expertise, independent judgment, and the ability to make critical decisions in real time.

Clinicians frequently engage directly with callers in crisis over the phone to assess risk, determine appropriate interventions, and support safe, effective outcomes.
