CLASS CHARACTERISTICS

Behavioral Health Worker I:
This is the entry-level classification in the Behavioral Health Worker series. Initially under close supervision, incumbents learn and perform routine Behavioral Health support activities.

As experience is gained, assignments become more varied and complex; close supervision and frequent review of work lessen as an incumbent demonstrates skill to perform the work independently.

Position at this level usually perform most of the duties required of the position at the Behavioral Health Worker II-level but are not expected to function at the same skill level and usually exercise less independent discretion and judgment in matters related to work procedures and methods.

Work is usually supervised while in progress and fits an established structure or pattern. Exceptions or changes in procedures are explained in detail as they arise.

Behavioral Health Worker II:
This is the journey-level classification in the Behavioral Health Worker series.

Positions at this level are distinguished from the Behavioral Health Worker I level by the performance of the full range of duties as assigned, working independently, and exercising judgement and initiative.

Positions at this level receive only occasional instruction or assistance as new or unusual situations arise and are fully aware of the operating procedures and policies of the work unit.

Positions in the Behavioral Health Worker class series are flexibly staffed; positions at the II level may be filled by advancement from the I level; progression to the II level is dependent on (i) management affirmation that the position is performing the full range of duties assigned to the classification; (ii) satisfactory work performance; (iii) the incumbent meeting the minimum qualifications for the classification including any licenses and certifications; and (iv) management approval for progression to the II level.
