Clinical Social Workers provide clinical services to clients/inmates in a residential, home, inpatient, outpatient, rehabilitation, correctional or similar setting.
Lake's Crossing Center (LCC), a maximum-security forensic facility/psychiatric hospital for mentally disordered offenders, located in Sparks, Nevada is recruiting for two Clinical Social Worker II positions. LCC's primary focus of treatment is to provide competency evaluation and restoration for court ordered clients. LCC also provides treatment and monitors clients who are adjudicated as not guilty by reason of insanity and non-restorable clients, who are committed to LCC by the courts. Duties include participating on a multidisciplinary treatment team, conducting psycho-educational groups, completing social history assessments, treatment planning, discharge planning, coordinating and communicating with the courts and officers of the courts, and completing competency evaluations regarding misdemeanor level charges for both inpatient and outpatient clients. The environment requires a high level of security awareness as well as the physical stamina or ability to deal with maladaptive and aggressive clients.
Hours are 8:00am to 5:00pm Monday through Friday. However, depending on the needs of the agency hours may vary and include on-call evenings and weekend shifts.
The State of Nevada provides an excellent benefits package that includes health, dental, and vision insurance, participation in the Public Employees Retirement System (PERS), yearly accrual of 15 days of annual leave and 15 days of sick leave, and 11 paid holidays. Nevada does not have a state income tax and state employees do not contribute to social security.
