Step Into Crisis Response That Makes a Real-World Difference

Are you passionate about helping people in their most vulnerable moments? Join Compass Health’s Skagit County Mobile Crisis Outreach Team (MCOT) as an On-Call Designated Crisis Responder (DCR) and provide critical behavioral health support where and when it’s needed most—out in the community.

Whether responding to a crisis in a home, school, or public space, you’ll deliver immediate, compassionate care that helps stabilize individuals in distress and connects them to vital services. This is your chance to be a true first responder in the mental health world—backed by an experienced and supportive team.

What You’ll Be Doing
  • Deliver in-person crisis intervention and evaluations across Skagit County

  • Assess clients of all ages for risk and determine the need for involuntary detention under RCW 71.05/71.34

  • Develop real-time safety and recovery plans in collaboration with clients and families

  • Provide brief stabilization support and coordinate with MCOT team members, hospitals, and emergency services

  • Offer follow-up care planning and resource navigation

What You Bring
  • MA/MS/MSW in a Behavioral Science-related field

  • Mental Health Professional (MHP) status per WAC

  • Familiarity with RCW 71.05 and 71.34 preferred

  • WA State License (or eligible) in Social Work, Counseling, or Marriage & Family Therapy preferred

  • Ability to attend DCR Academy within first year

  • Valid Washington State Driver’s License with insurance and reliable transportation

  • Agency Affiliated Counselor application (if unlicensed) required upon hire

What Makes You Stand Out
  • Calm under pressure with excellent clinical judgment

  • Skilled in risk assessment, documentation, and systems coordination

  • Able to work independently in fast-paced, field-based environments

  • Passion for serving high-needs and underserved populations

  • Strong collaboration and communication skills

Why Choose Compass Health?

At Compass Health, your work matters—deeply. We’re proud to foster a culture of support, growth, and purpose , and we offer a wide range of benefits even for on-call employees.

  • 12 sick days plus a wellness day

  • 13 paid holidays – 11 traditional + 2 floating

  • $500 in professional development funds annually

  • Paid education leave
