"Clinical Social Worker"

Under the leadership and supervision of OTOP Intake & Counseling Services Director, the OTOP Intake Social Worker will play a key role in providing culturally responsive, trauma-informed, person-centered, harm reduction substance use counseling. Follow up care will be coordinated with OTOP's interdisciplinary team and outside providers or supports based on individual participant needs and interests. This will include performing biopsychosocial needs assessment with participants and utilizing evidence-based models of care including but not limited to CBT, solution-focused therapy, motivational interviewing, relapse prevention planning and case management. The clinician will support identification, implementation, and monitoring of contingency management or motivational incentives based on participant identified goals. In addition to the standard OTOP Intake Counselor responsibilities, the clinician will work with the OTOP Intake Team and OTOP Deputy Medical Director to identify opportunities and interventions to improve patient services based on Community Advisory Board feedback and clinical data analysis. The clinician may provide evidence-based talk therapy and case management to a select cohort of patients having trouble accessing mental health/psychiatric services despite receiving referrals and demonstrated motivation for treatment engagement. Although the clinician's main site will be SF General Hospital, cross-coverage within the intake team may be required as needed, including at Bayview and jail sites.

We aim to foster an environment of inclusion and belonging for our workforce and to create a team that reflects the diversity of patients served in our clinic.
