Support crisis intervention, de-escalation, and safety planning in dangerous or potentially violent situations.
Support patients through guardianship, foster care, adoption, end-of-life care, and legal processes, ensuring compliance with standards.
Conduct interviews and assessments of victims, perpetrators, and significant others, ensuring safety and legal adherence.
Maintain accurate documentation in electronic medical records, complying with hospital standards and legal requirements.
Develop and foster strong working relationships with hospital staff, law enforcement, APS/DCS, community agencies, and external partners.
Respond with or in lieu of the Department of Public Safety to de-escalate violence when needed.

The work hours are Wednesday to Friday, from 2:00 PM to 10:30 PM.
May be scheduled for on-call and holiday rotations.
