Trillium Health Resources is a local governmental agency (LME/MCO) in North Carolina that manages serious mental health, substance use, and intellectual/developmental disability services. Serving in 46 counties, we help individuals and their families strengthen well-being and build foundations for a healthy life.

Join our team as we empower others to live their best lives by providing access to quality healthcare. We offer a challenging, engaging work environment where staff take home more than a paycheck.

On a typical day, you might:

• Perform clinical functions of discharge/transition planning and diversion including clinical interview; obtain and review clinical records; identify treatment needs; assess barriers to treatment and recommend solutions; and assess general health and specific behavioral health needs and recommend referrals.
   

• Ensure Transition Plans are delivered in the most effective manner with a focus on optimal quality outcomes utilizing evidence-based tools and national standards of care.
   
• Review clinical documentation such as comprehensive clinical assessments and psychological evaluations to ensure appropriate recommendations for services and level of care.
   
• Meet with Justice Involved members in-person in Correctional Facilities and in-person with the members in the community to facilitate care management activities.
   
• Assist participants with transportation needs. May transport members in fleet vehicles when available to community-based settings as part of development of community reintegration planning.
