A Direct Care Staff helps the clinicians with the treatment of clients who have various behavioral problems, such as substance abuse, post-traumatic stress disorder, mental instability and physical and emotional abuse. A Direct Care Staff is expected to understand individual treatment plans, document client behavior and provide a safe, supportive environment for the clients. Technicians may observe and record client controlled medications and assisting in daily activities. Because clients who are mentally ill and emotionally disturbed can be unpredictable, they can present a potential danger to themselves and those around them. Behavioral health technicians have a responsibility to maintain safety for themselves and their clients they are providing services for. This may be as simple as keeping client files confidential and secure from unauthorized access. In many cases, the technician's ability to emotionally support clients, remain calm and professional, and use good interpersonal skills can defuse a volatile situation. Job duties also include documenting daily in our Electronic Health Records system, learning all policies and procedures of the agency, implementing policies and procedures of the program, and all other additional program related tasks.
