Pawnee Mental Health is a non-profit Certified Community Behavioral Health Center (CCBHC) helping underserved populations in 10 counties here in North-Central Kansas. We are a vibrant community of passionate people looking for our next teammate. The Role Youll Play - Patient Resource Specialist

As a Patient Resource Specialist, you are often the first face of Pawnee for new clients and the steady support they rely on throughout their care. In this hybrid role, you will walk alongside individuals navigating mental health treatment, helping them connect to essential services both within Pawnee and throughout the community. From guiding clients through their intake to advocating for financial or social benefits, you serve as both a care coordinator and a resource navigator. This role helps break down barriers to treatment, ensuring clients receive the care, support, and follow-up they need to succeed. The Day-to-Day

Guide clients through the intake process by completing vitals, screenings, and connecting them to appropriate medical or community resources. Serve as an ongoing care coordinator by supporting clients throughout treatment, performing follow-up calls, and helping them stay connected to services. Assist clients in navigating and applying for benefits such as Medicaid, Medicare, SSI/SSDI (including SOAR), and other financial supports. Collaborate with internal teams, government agencies, and community partners to advocate for client needs, resolve barriers, and coordinate care transitions. Maintain accurate documentation, meet care coordination expectations, and travel as needed across our 10-county service area. Why Work With Us?
