The Role You’ll 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 unique 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 plays a vital part in breaking 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?

    At Pawnee Mental Health, we take a great deal of pride in the services we offer, and the progress made by those we serve. All employees, regardless of their role, are an important part of our success! To help us achieve our mission, we’re looking for bright and talented people with great ideas. We believe individuals and families with mental health and / or substance use challenges should have the opportunity to lead normal, productive lives at home and in their communities.
