Psychiatric Technician or LPN

A Day in the life 

Your day begins by preparing the clinic for patients, ensuring exam rooms, supplies, and equipment are ready to provide a safe, welcoming, and efficient environment. As patients arrive, you will assist with rooming, obtaining vital signs, completing screenings, gathering health histories, and documenting information accurately in the electronic medical record, helping the provider deliver high-quality behavioral health care.

Throughout the day, you will work closely with psychiatrists, advanced practice providers, therapists, and other members of the behavioral health team to support patient care. You will assist with patient education, reinforce treatment plans, communicate clinical observations to providers, and ensure patient questions are addressed with compassion and professionalism. For LPNs, responsibilities may also include medication administration, assisting with clinical procedures, and coordinating care needs as directed by the provider.

You will play an important role in supporting patients experiencing mental health, you will help coordinate appointments, referrals, authorizations, and patient follow-up while maintaining strict confidentiality and compliance with organizational policies.

Between patient visits, you will help maintain clinic operations by monitoring supplies, supporting scheduling needs, responding to phone calls, collaborating with team members, and assisting with office duties as needed. Flexibility, teamwork, and excellent communication are essential to meeting the changing needs of patients and the clinic.

Quality and safety guide everything you do. You will follow infection prevention practices, patient confidentiality requirements, and Regional West policies while maintaining required certifications and competencies. At the end of each day, you'll know you've made a meaningful difference in the lives of patients receiving behavioral health services.
