Job Description

Meet people where they are—and help them move forward

At Vivia Health, we believe that healing doesn’t happen in isolation. That’s why our Assertive Community Treatment (ACT) program brings care directly to those who need it most. We serve adults with serious mental illness—many navigating housing instability, justice involvement, or co-occurring conditions—by delivering wraparound services that are mobile, person-centered, and always available.

We’re hiring a full-time ACT Case Manager to join our multidisciplinary team. If you’re passionate about community-based care and thrive in the field, this is your chance to make an impact—one doorstep at a time.

About the Role

As an ACT Case Manager, you’ll provide direct support and case management to clients in their homes, shelters, or wherever they are. You’ll collaborate closely with therapists, psychiatric providers, and peer specialists to coordinate care, reduce hospitalizations, and promote long-term recovery.

What You’ll Do

  • Build trust through frequent, in-person contact with a small caseload
  • Support clients with benefits enrollment, housing applications, and care coordination
  • Respond to crises in the field with calm and compassion
  • Complete IM-CANS assessments and help develop person-centered service plans
  • Advocate for clients across healthcare, housing, and legal systems
  • Document services in a timely, accurate, and compliant manner

What You Bring

✔ Bachelor’s degree in Social Work, Psychology, Human Services, or related field

✔ 2+ years of experience in case management, mental health, or community outreach

✔ Strong communication skills and a commitment to client dignity and autonomy

✔ Comfort navigating Chicago neighborhoods and working in nontraditional settings

✔ Ability to remain calm and grounded during psychiatric or behavioral crises

Bonus if you’re:

➕ Familiar with the ACT model or community-based mental health

➕ Bilingual (Spanish or Arabic preferred)

➕ Experienced with Medicaid/SSDI systems or the IM-CANS tool
