The Bureau of Technical Support (BTS) is a developing unit within the OPWDD Division of Statewide Services, established to improve the health and safety of people with developmental disabilities. The BTS accomplishes this by providing consultation, training, and professional resources to voluntary providers/programs to increase their capacity to safely and effectively serve people who have complex behavioral needs, connect them with vital community resources, and navigate system complexities that may have been impeding service provision.
The work of the Senior Field Clinician, and the bureau under the Director's leadership, meets the core mission of OPWDD by addressing the 3 main priorities outlined in the Commissioner's strategic plan: 1) supporting people in the most person-centered ways, 2) strengthen the workforce, and 3) improve the service system across the state. The Senior Field Clinician will join a statewide team of clinicians to provide a full range of consultation services.
The Senior Field Clinician will be responsible for their field team’s coordinated review and delivery of technical assistance using evidence-informed best practices, a trauma-informed and responsive approach, and commitment to cultural humility, through duties including but not limited to:
This position requires direct experience supporting people with developmental disabilities who present with complex behaviors and co-occurring mental health diagnoses. The Senior Field Clinician will be expected to understand federal and state regulations and policies that guide delivery of services, to ensure recommendations offered to voluntary providers are not only consistent with clinical best practice standards but also inclusive of regulatory requirements. Experience conducting, developing, writing, and/or reviewing clinical assessments and treatment plans, expertise in progress monitoring and data analysis, knowledge of crisis prevention and intervention strategies, and familiarity with community-based service settings is preferred.
