Provisional Opportunity:
In the event that there is not a valid eligible list, candidates who meet the following open competitive qualifications may be qualified for a provisional appointment:

Candidates must have one year of clerical, secretarial, or direct care experience in a mental health facility or setting. Examples of qualifying settings include but are not limited to: inpatient and outpatient psychiatric or mental health clinics, facilities, or units; and substance abuse clinics or programs (i.e. a program which has a governing body and an organized clinical staff whose primary function is the diagnosis, treatment and/or rehabilitation of persons evidencing psychiatric, mental health, alcohol and/or drug abuse problems).

Examples of non-qualifying settings include but are not limited to: facilities or programs serving the developmentally disabled; hospitals, clinics, or other settings providing general medical care or rehabilitation; and nursing homes.

If you are appointed provisionally, you must take the next scheduled Civil Service examination for this title and your score must be reachable on the resulting eligible list before you can be permanently appointed. If you do not pass the examination or achieve a reachable score, you may not be retained.

Duties Description As a Treatment Unit Clerk, you would work on a ward or unit of a psychiatric center and be responsible for the preparation, maintenance and monitoring of a variety of clerical records and reports related to activities of employees and patients in the assigned work area in accordance with OMH, HIPAA, and Joint Commission policies. You would also be required to respond to routine inquiries regarding the functions/programs of the unit or treatment service by visitors or employees and patients from other areas of the facility. Responsibilities may include ordering and maintaining an inventory of unit supplies and the performance of miscellaneous clerical duties necessary for the efficient operation of the assigned work area. Depending on the organization of the facility, you might have responsibility for performing these functions for a building, treatment unit, service ward or group of wards. In all cases, you would be assigned to work in a patient area.
