PART IV – ASSIGNMENT PREFERENCE (NOT SCORED)

Responses for Section IV may be used as selection criteria for specific assignments.

Client Services Practitioners perform a broad spectrum of duties ranging from providing direct services/case management support to those faced with difficult situations, emotional stresses, or significant change in their lives to clinically diagnosing emotional, behavioral or mental health disorders in individuals.  Not only do Client Services Practitioners assist individuals to cope with the situation at hand, they advocate for them and seek out valuable resources and other means of support for the affected person(s).

Client Services Practitioner assignments within Placer County vary in terms of the nature of professional services provided and the population served.

Please select the service areas in which you possess interest and/or experience in:


1.

Direct/Case Management Services: Direct/Case Management service assignments have a strong focus on client and system strengths and the development of self-care skills that go beyond the disease and symptom focus of a diagnosis.  The overall focus of direct services and case worker assignments is built on the bio-psychosocial model which uses a “person-in environment” perspective to assess strengths and challenges within a systems framework and may incorporate therapy, public or private organizations, case management, administration, and more.  Many times work will involve counseling/therapy and helping clients with whatever issues they may be having. This can range from working with individuals to secure a new job, to coordinating rehabilitation programs, and more.  Typically, these assignments do not require licensure.

I have experience related to this service area.
I would like to be considered for this service area.
2.

Clinical/Therapeutic Services: Clinical/Therapeutic Service assignments address individual and family problems such as serious illness, substance abuse, and domestic conflict.  The majority of work will be done in a clinical setting and typically encompasses psychotherapy, formal counseling, skill development, psycho-educational, and more.  Some clinical/therapy assignments may require licensure.

I have experience related to this service area.
I would like to be considered for this service area.
