We work with clients, families, advocates, therapists, and other providers to support consistent, coordinated services. We are seeking a compassionate and detail oriented Certified Psychiatric Rehabilitation Practitioner (CPRP) who understands that effective rehabilitation depends on both meaningful client support and reliable daily follow-through. The person in this role will help assess rehabilitation needs, develop and monitor plans, guide staff, review documentation, and address service barriers promptly.

Complete assigned psychiatric rehabilitation assessments and contribute to individualized rehabilitation plans. Write practical, measurable goals related to areas such as daily living, social skills, wellness, education, employment, family relationships, and community participation.

Keep management informed of issues that may affect client care, documentation, authorization, or program compliance. Care coordination and follow-up Communicate with therapists, prescribers, referral sources, community providers, vendors, and families or guardians when appropriate and properly authorized. Help coordinate access to resources that support a client's rehabilitation goals, including housing, benefits, education, employment, and other community services. Track and escalate barriers such as missed therapy appointments, incomplete therapy verification, insurance changes, difficulty contacting a client, or interruptions in services. Collaborate with intake and management staff to help resolve missing information that delays appropriate services or authorization. Support continuity of care when a client's needs change or a referral to another qualified provider is needed. Documentation and compliance Complete assigned assessments, rehabilitation plans, updates, case communications, and other records accurately and on time in ICANotes. Review client charts for required information, signatures, service documentation, and consistency between documented services and rehabilitation goals. Follow Helping Hands PRP, Inc.'s current documentation deadlines and promptly report barriers that may prevent timely completion. Assist supervisors with preparation for internal chart reviews, audits, and other quality assurance activities. Maintain client confidentiality and handle protected health information in accordance with HIPAA and company policy. Follow applicable Maryland program requirements, payer requirements, ethical standards, and organizational procedures. Client safety and professional judgment Recognize changes in a client's presentation or circumstances that may require prompt attention. Respond to urgent concerns within company procedures, notify the appropriate qualified clinical staff or supervisor, and help coordinate emergency assistance when needed. Document concerns, notifications, and follow-up accurately. Maintain appropriate professional boundaries and treat clients, families, and coworkers with respect. A typical workday Daily priorities may include reviewing client charts and outstanding documentation; completing rehabilitation assessments or plan updates; consulting with advocates and supervisors about client progress; contacting authorized providers or referral sources to address service barriers; following up on missing records; and documenting actions in ICANotes. Priorities will vary with client needs, deadlines, and direction from program leadership. Required qualifications Current Certified Psychiatric Rehabilitation Practitioner (CPRP) certification.
