Crisis Stabilization Professional

Easterseals Iowa is seeking a dedicated individual to join our Crisis Stabilization Center. As a Crisis Stabilization Professional, you will play a crucial role in supporting children and families experiencing mental health crises. Our program operates both at our serene Camp Sunnyside location and within the community.

Responsibilities:

• Skill Building Interventions: Implement skill-building interventions for children and families. These interventions aim to develop crisis management skills and prevent the need for future crisis services.
• Collaboration: Work closely with the full team to create stabilization and WRAP plans for families. Provide support to help families learn the necessary skills to implement these plans and regain stability.
• Coordination: Coordinate with case management and existing service providers to ensure that family needs are met.
• Flexible Settings: Professionals may be assigned to either our residential or community settings, depending on client and team requirements.

Why Join Our Team?

• Competitive Compensation: Enjoy a predictable and highly competitive pay rate of $17-$18 per hour, with opportunities for annual raises and bonuses.
• Expert Training: Receive specialized training in Crisis Intervention, Collaborative Problem Solving (including certification), and WRAP. Additionally, learn to utilize the Skills System-an evidence-based approach for clients with cognitive challenges.

Join us in making a difference in the lives of children and families during critical moments.

Our current opening is for a community based stabilization professional. The shifts are generally 9am-6pm, Wednesday-Saturday or Sunday-Wednesday. We could also do a 5 day week as well in which the schedule would be Tuesday-Saturday or Sunday-Thursday.
