Livingston County Community Mental Health is hiring a Mobile Crisis Clinician to join our mobile crisis team, and we're looking for someone ready to do the hard, meaningful work this community needs. You'll respond directly to people in crisis: suicidal ideation, psychosis, severe depression, substance-related emergencies. You won't be triaging calls from an office. You'll be on the ground, using your clinical training to stabilize, de-escalate, and connect people to care before things get worse. Our team works from a person-centered, strength-based model because we believe recovery is possible and that how we show up in someone's worst moment matters. You'll work alongside law enforcement and first responders when the situation calls for it, but our goal is always diversion. Keep people out of emergency rooms and jails. Get them into the right support instead.Day to day, you'll conduct comprehensive mental health assessments, develop safety plans, make diagnoses, and coordinate the community services that give people a real foothold toward stability. You'll carry genuine clinical responsibility, and you'll have the supervision and team structure to support you in it. Livingston County sits between Detroit and Lansing, and the people we serve have real needs. This isn't a role for someone looking for a low-stakes position. It's for someone who handles complexity well, stays grounded under pressure, and cares about the outcomes. Our clinicians are advocates and coordinators as much as they are service providers, and we take that seriously. We offer a strong clinical environment, regular supervision, and the chance to be part of a team doing work that is more necessary now than it has ever been.Requirements to join us:Candidates must be committed to our shared values and commitment to community care including clinical excellence, community inclusion, community benefit, innovation, integrated care and improvement. Our collaborative approach to treatment requires strong teaming skills. This is a dynamic, team-oriented position with great opportunities to grow. Job Specific Requirements:This position will allow you to work with a wide array of individuals and families as well as with police, fire, ambulance and emergency room staff.
