Senior Administrative Program Coordinator, Outreach

The Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at the Dell Medical School is seeking an Outreach Associate to work for the Child Psychiatry Access Network (CPAN), the Perinatal Psychiatry Access Network (PeriPAN), and other related programs.

CPAN and PeriPAN are interdisciplinary clinical services programs intended to offer primary care providers and OBGYNs prompt access to on-call psychiatrists to provide expertise in assessment, treatment, and referrals for pediatric and/or perinatal patients identified as having a mental health challenge. The Outreach Associate will also work on the Safety-A program, an evidence-based intervention that trains clinicians how to identify and respond to suicide risk.

This is a state and federally funded position sponsored by the Texas Child Mental Health Care Consortium (TCMHCC). TCMHCC was created by the 86th Texas Legislature to leverage the expertise and capacity of the health-related institutions of higher education to address urgent mental health challenges and improve the mental health care system in this state in relation to children, adolescents, and perinatal women. The University of Texas at Austin Dell Medical School (DMS) is a Health Related Institution (HRI) for the TCMHCC.

A flexible working arrangement agreement can be accommodated based upon the needs of the program and with supervisor approval. This position may require occasional work on-site for some of the scheduled work week. Remote work will require reliable internet access and a suitable private workspace free from distractions. This position has an end date of 8/31/2026 but may be renewable based upon availability of funding, work performance, and progress toward goals.
