Job Description

SUMMARY

Recovery Support Specialists (RSS) assist clients in defining their goals for recovery and assist them in meeting those goals. The ACT Model involves an integrated, multi-disciplinary team approach to providing high intensity rehabilitative services, supports, and interventions to assist clients in achieving their personal recovery goals. Much of this work involves teaching clients the skills necessary to successfully manage their illness, and live as independently as possible. In addition, RSSs link clients to services and professionals that can assist in the clients' recovery. Forming trusting relationships that are therapeutic and supportive is the manner in which Recovery Support Specialists are able to be most helpful for clients. As they accompany clients to appointments, visit clients in their homes, and meet with clients where they socialize, worship, and work, recovery support specialists are able to facilitate recovery and integration.

4. Assist and support clients in crisis situations.

5. Assist clients in applying for all benefits and entitlements that will provide for their needs, such as SSI, Medicaid, Section 8, energy assistance, and reduced fare metro cards.

6. Assist clients in developing natural support networks by locating supports and services in the community such as AA, self-help groups, and recreational centers.

7. Locate safe, sanitary, and affordable housing for clients that is appropriate for the level of care that they need; provide support during transition from different types of housing.

8. Accompany clients to critical services when necessary, especially critical medical appointments.

9. Provide education, support and consultation to clients' families and support system, as appropriate.

10. Document all services provided by billing and writing progress notes the same day the service is provided, but no later than 10AM the next business day; reviewing and updating IRPs every 180 days; and reporting and maintaining all correspondence as often as indicated.

11. Provide monitoring when clients are engaged in services with other agencies.

12. Participate in the Team Meetings.
