Remote or Hybrid option?Job SummaryOSU Assist in the Office of the Dean of Students is seeking multiple Crisis Response Team Program Responders. These are full-time (1. 00 FTE), 12-month, professional faculty positions.

OSU Assist provides a compassionate mobile crisis response for non-life-threatening, but crisis-related, emergent scenarios such as behavioral health crises and mental health welfare checks. OSU Assist will be dispatched as an unarmed, first responder team, trained in behavioral health and crisis response. OSU Assist may provide an in-person response, sometimes in lieu of or, when appropriate, in conjunction with law enforcement. OSU Assist will only respond to calls if there are no reports of weapons or threats of violence. The OSU Assist team may also provide crisis response via phone or by other remote means.

This student-centric and trauma-informed response program will remain mindful of the unique nature of each individual and each situation or crisis and respond with care and appropriate resources. OSU Assist will be a critical resource in responding to matters such as welfare checks, survivor support, substance abuse, or mental health crises. The team currently responds to calls involving any individuals (students, faculty, and community members) who are needing crisis support on the OSU-Corvallis campus.

The OSU Assist Responder will be a live-on member of this multi-disciplinary response team that works closely with university departments and teams such as the Office of the Dean of Students, Counseling and Psychological Services, Student Health Services, the Student Care Team, the Center for Advocacy, Prevention, and Education, the Threat Assessment Team, the Bias Response Team, the Department of Public Safety, Diversity & Cultural Engagement, Equal Opportunity & Access, University Housing and Dining Services and others.

The creation of OSU Assist is an acknowledgement that there are many crisis-related situations that may not require the presence of armed law enforcement. However, given the ambiguous nature of many crisis situations, it is essential that this position closely coordinate with both on-campus and off-campus public safety and licensed law enforcement units.

The specifics around the operations of OSU Assist are continuing to evolve, but a possible outcome is a 365 days a year, 24/7 mobile crisis response team available to serve the OSU community. As the nature of the position includes the need to respond frequently and quickly to incidents across campus, a 2-3 bedroom apartment is provided to the employee as a convenience to the department and institution.

This position will report to the OSU Assist Crisis Response Team Coordinator and will be located in the Office of the Dean of Students in the Division of Student Affairs.
