SUPERVISION RECEIVED AND EXERCISED Receives immediate (Behavioral Health Education Specialist I) general (Behavioral Health Education Specialist II) supervision from assigned supervisory or management personnel. Exercises no direct supervision over staff. CLASS CHARACTERISTICS Behavioral Health Education Specialist I: This is the entry-level classification in the Behavioral Health Education Specialist series. Initially under close supervision, incumbents learn and perform routine behavioral health education activities. As experience is gained, assignments become more varied and complex; close supervision and frequent review of work lessen as an incumbent demonstrates skill to perform the work independently. Positions at this level usually perform most of the duties required of the positions at the Behavioral Health Education Specialist II-level but are not expected to function at the same skill level and usually exercise less independent discretion and judgment in matters related to work procedures and methods. Work is usually supervised while in progress and fits an established structure or pattern. Exceptions or changes in procedures are explained in detail as they arise. Behavioral Health Education Specialist II: This is the journey-level classification in the Behavioral Health Education Specialist series. Positions at this level are distinguished from the Behavioral Health Education Specialist I-level by the performance of the full range of duties as assigned, working independently, and exercising judgment and initiative. Positions at this level receive only occasional instruction or assistance as new or unusual situations arise and are fully aware of the operating procedures and policies of the work unit. This class is distinguished from the Behavioral Health Education Specialist III in that the latter performs the more complex work assigned to the series, such as leading programs. Positions in the Behavioral Health Education Specialist class series are flexibly staffed; positions at the II-level may be filled by advancement from the I-level; progression to the next level in the series is dependent on (i) management affirmation that the position is performing the full range of duties assigned to the classification; (ii) satisfactory work performance; (iii) the incumbent meeting the minimum qualifications for the classification including any licenses and certifications; and (iv) management approval for progression to the next level in the class series. EXAMPLES OF TYPICAL JOB FUNCTIONS Typical functions may include any of the following tasks, knowledge, abilities, and other characteristics. The list that follows is not intended as a comprehensive list; it is intended to provide a representative summary of the major duties and responsibilities. Incumbent(s) may not be required to perform all duties listed, and may be required to perform additional, position-specific tasks.
