About MultiCare Health System
MultiCare’s roots in the Pacific Northwest go back to 1882, with the founding of Tacoma’s first hospital. Over the years, we’ve grown from a Tacoma-centric, hospital-based organization into the largest, community-based, locally governed health system in the state of Washington. Today, our comprehensive system of health includes more than 300 primary, urgent, pediatric and specialty care locations across Washington, Idaho and Oregon, as well as 13 hospitals. We welcome patients from the entire Pacific Northwest region and our 20,000-plus team members — including employees, providers and volunteers — proudly care for the communities we serve. Without a doubt, our organization has changed over the years. But what has never changed, throughout our long history, has been our dedication to health and wellness of the people of the Pacific Northwest. Guided by our mission, vision and values, we are on continuous journey to deliver the services that our communities need, and to ensure access to those services, now and in the future.

About Greater Lakes Mental Health

Greater Lakes Mental Health is a key component of MultiCare’s Behavioral Health Network, providing mental health and substance use disorder treatment for over 10,000 individuals annually across Pierce County. Providing services for adults, children, and families with Medicaid coverage, Greater Lakes offers 6 convenient mental health care locations including a 16-bed inpatient facility covering medically necessary voluntary and involuntary services to adults.

FTE: 1.0, Shift: Day, Schedule: Tuesday - Friday, 8am - 6pm

The Lakewood Behavioral Health Contact Team (BHCT) has been around for many years and was one of the first programs in Pierce County to offer the model of pairing crisis clinicians with police officers.  This is a very exciting and rewarding position! The Crisis Clinician will be provided the opportunity to provide mental health education/insights to Lakewood Police Officers to help reduce the stigma toward mental health and substance use through the general use of trauma informed care.
