Lead the Frontline of Community Mental Health
In your first month, you won't just manage cases-you will set the clinical standard for a dedicated mental health team. You will step directly into complex, high-risk case reviews, guide junior social workers through crisis interventions, and shape individual outcome plans that help vulnerable individuals and families navigate life-altering transitional challenges.
As a Team Lead within our Mental Health Service, you serve as both a clinical anchor and an operational guide. You will mentor caseworkers through active co-leading, post-session debriefs, and direct observation, translating high-level funding KPIs into compassionate, person-centered care.

-
Clinical Supervision & Guidance: Oversee, evaluate, and approve case assessments, outcome plans, and case closures. Provide expert clinical consultation for high-risk and complex mental health or dementia cases.
-
Team Leadership & Mentorship: Function as Team Lead (or Covering Team Lead). Model best practices, supervise junior social workers and caseworkers, and lead debriefs for groupwork and community initiatives.
-
Crisis Management: Direct frontline crisis interventions, using sound professional judgment to de-escalate acute situations and enforce risk management protocols.
-
Program & KPI Delivery: Ensure service delivery aligns strictly with organizational standards, TAFEP fair practice guidelines, and funding agency benchmarks within stipulated timelines.
