Resource Specialist - Social Worker

The Resource Specialist supports discharge throughput at a child and adolescent inpatient psychiatric hospital by coordinating the practical outpatient and community-based services needed for a safe and timely transition from the hospital. Working closely with Social Work and the treatment team, this role is primarily responsible for scheduling discharge appointments, securing aftercare follow-up, coordinating with outpatient providers and community agencies, tracking referral status, and identifying barriers that could delay discharge. The position also maintains current resource and provider contact lists, helps build and sustain working relationships with external providers and community partners, and supports efficient access to care by keeping referral pathways organized and up to date. By managing high-volume scheduling, referral, and tracking tasks and escalating unresolved barriers to the appropriate clinical staff, the Resource Specialist helps keep discharges moving while allowing licensed team members to remain focused on assessment, treatment, and other clinical responsibilities.
