Recruiting for Allegheny County Department of Human Services Behavioral Health Leadership
Allegheny County Department of Human Services job in Pittsburgh, PA
Job DescriptionSalary: Salary varies based on role
Allegheny Countys Department of Human Services (DHS) is nationally recognized for making data-driven decisions and relentlessly testing new strategies to find what works. We care about people, and we show that by getting results. In Allegheny County, we hold the levers for a $500 million behavioral health Medicaid program, alongside another $200 million in additional, flexible funding to improve the behavioral health of the countys most vulnerable children, youth, and adults.
Allegheny County DHS is deploying cutting-edge solutions to modernize its system of care. In recent years, we have:
rebuilt our behavioral health crisis system, including implementing geographically focused teams to more quickly respond to people in crisis;
launched and expanded law enforcement assisted diversion, and deployed behavioral health teams from 911 in lieu of police;
launched a process and treatment to restore competency, so people can participate in criminal proceedings in the community instead of jail or state hospitals;
bolstered the behavioral health workforce through a sizable fellowship that includes student-loan repayment as well as professional development;
invested millions in informal mental health supports -- non-clinical help from peers, friends and family, religious leaders, or other non-health professionals in communities that may mistrust government and/or traditional clinical services;
ensured that everyone coming into the jail can be assessed and provided full Medication Assisted Treatment for Opioid and Alcohol Use Disorders;
pioneered large-scale, gold-standard research on contingency management (i.e., using a behavioral therapy that uses rewards to help people stay on the path to recovery) and incentivizing the use of long-acting medications for people with serious mental illness;
transformed the mental health housing system by using data-driven approaches to serve the highest risk clients and reduce lengthy waitlists;
carefully considered the risks and benefits of including policy and practice options like adopting Assisted Outpatient Treatment in our continuum of care.
Our next challenges lie in integrating care with physical health more seamlessly, reducing disparities by building a system that works better for people in greatest need, and deftly adjusting our Medicaid program to respond to policy changes at the state and federal levels while keeping our clients covered.
These challenges and opportunities require a strong leadership team. Ideal candidates for the three leadership roles will be innovative change agents who can create and execute effectively on high impact strategies. They will understand (or can learn) regulations and compliance but will also be nimble and persistent at cutting through red tape to drive meaningful improvements for the people we serve.

This position reports to the Director of the Office of Behavioral Health and oversees four directand eleven indirect report staff. The salary range for this position is $110,594-121,653.

This leader will work with partners at DHS, Community Care Behavioral Health, the State and actuarial consultants to ensure that we run a Medicaid program with proper rate setting, optimized provider network, and full use of client and financial analytics to drive investments.
