Clinical Case Manager/Discharge Coordinator

About Muir Wood Teen Treatment

Muir Wood Teen Treatment is a leading provider of residential and outpatient behavioral healthcare for teens ages 12–17. With programs in Sonoma County, Clovis, and Riverside, we specialize in treating primary mental health and co-occurring substance use disorders.

Our trauma-informed, relationship-centered approach combines evidence-based clinical care, accredited academics, and family involvement—creating environments where teens and families can heal together.

Every teammate plays an important role in that mission. Whether you work directly with clients or support our programs behind the scenes, your compassion, presence, and professionalism help create hope and lasting change for the families we serve.

The Clinical Case Manager/Discharge Coordinator plays a central part in ensuring that each client leaves residential treatment with a clear, well-coordinated plan for continuing care, working closely with the clinical team, families and external partners. This is a part-time position (24 hours per week, 3 days onsite) at our Riverside residential program and is eligible for BBS client-centered advocacy hours for associate clinicians. We are open to a flexible schedule; a minimum of 3 days on site.

 Essential Functions and Responsibilities: 

• Lead the development and completion of individualized continuing care and discharge plans prior to client discharge
• Collaborate closely with therapists and Clinical Directors to determine appropriate recommendations for ongoing care
• Partner with the Outreach team to identify and coordinate specific referral options aligned with treatment recommendations
• Work directly with clients and families to ensure continuing care plans, appointments, and next steps are clearly understood and in place prior to discharge
• Ensure accurate and timely clinical documentation and communication with referring health plans, including Kaiser, IEHP, and others, in accordance with requirements, details, and deadlines
• Maintain close, ongoing collaboration with therapists, Clinical Directors, and external partners to support continuity of care and meet clinical and payer expectations

This role is ideal for someone who values follow-through, clarity, strong systems, and collaboration as essential components of quality care. We believe in investing in our people across the organization. As you gain experience—and, where applicable, progress toward licensure or advanced credentials—there may be opportunities to take on additional responsibility, expand your

impact, or grow into new roles within the organization.
