ACCS Program Coordinator - Deaf and Hard of Hearing Services

Adult Community Clinical Services is a Department of Mental Health funded service that is designed to deliver evidence-based interventions within a clinically focused model. Individuals served are diagnosed with mental illness or dual diagnosis and reside in their own homes, apartments, and in group living environments. Our services focus on helping people transition to a more independent environment while maximizing their natural supports by building skills and achieving personal goals. The teams are tight knit, supportive and multidisciplinary. Open Sky’s talented clinicians, substance use counselors, nurses, peer staff, housing counselors, outreach counselors, and direct care staff provide quality, compassionate care to the individuals served.

The Coordinator of Deaf and Hard of Hearing Services will oversee other members of the team who are also providing direct support to adults in the community. The Coordinator will be responsible for hiring and supervising effective team members, providing ongoing supervision and evaluation, as well as will be a point of contact for collaterals in the community. Coordinators will ensure that every person who is deaf or hard of hearing and is supported by Open Sky will have access to the treatment and supports they need.
