Clinical Psychologist Needed for Locum Tenens Coverage at Correctional Facility in Spruce Pine, North Carolina

JOB DESCRIPTION

Job Headline: Clinical Psychologist Needed for Locum Tenens Coverage at Correctional Facility in Spruce Pine, North Carolina

A correctional facility is seeking a psychologist for locum tenens coverage.
While close to Spruce Pine, North Carolina, visit the Gem Mountain Gemstone Mine, the Smithmore Castle, and the Orchard at Altapass.
The schedule is full-time, Monday - Friday. The caseload will largely depend on the population of individuals designated as needing mental health services at the facility at any given time. Clinicians are expected to see individuals on the caseload consistent with the policy. There are also referrals, suicide risk assessments, and other clinical duties that do not always fall into the caseload numbers. None of the facilities with an open call have an inpatient unit. All of the listed facilities provide outpatient services. The EMR is HERO and training is provided. The custody staff provides a presence in the area where clinicians work, but we do not assign C/Os as one-on-one with clinicians unless they go to the housing unit. Patients can only be seen if there is a custody officer in the area. No one should enter an individuals cell alone, ever. Regular services are provided in an office setting and the patients are brought to the mental health area to be seen. There may be times at certain facilities where clinicians will enter a locked housing unit, but they will have a custody escort at all times.
