Full job description
JOB SUMMARY: Sycamores is a contracted provider with The City of Los Angeles, Mayor's Office of Community Safety, to operate the CIRCLE program, which stands for Crisis and Incident Response through Community-led Engagement, throughout the San Fernando Valley. This is a 24/7 unarmed response program that deploys trained teams to address non-urgent LAPD calls related to unhoused individuals.
CIRCLE aims to create positive outcomes for unhoused individuals through rapport-building and connections to services and provide LAPD officers more time to focus on traditional law enforcement efforts. For consumers that are evaluated to need more intensive and immediate support, CIRCLE is integrated with the Los Angeles County Department of Mental Health (LACDMH) network of Field Intervention Teams (FIT), which is the County’s behavioral health crisis responder system served by Mobile Crisis Outreach Teams (MCOT) and Psychiatric Mobile Response Teams (PMRT), who can provide an in person assessment to determine if psychiatric hospitalization is necessary.
The CIRCLE Response Team Outreach Advocate is partnered with a Response Team Supervisor, who jointly will provide outreach and engagement to persons in need within the San Fernando Valley. The “team” will additionally respond to referrals from three Los Angeles Police Departments (Van Nuys, Mission, and Foothill) and will utilize the agency vehicle to respond to a community member in need. The Response Team Outreach Advocate is also responsible for providing stabilization interventions, advocating for client voice and choice, self-determination, and decision-making in the planning, delivery, and evaluation of treatment, rehabilitation, and support services. The Response Team Outreach Advocate will provide on-scene consultation to consumers regarding community resources, crisis intervention, and available community services i.e., housing, mental health services, medical treatment, and substance abuse services.
Starting Pay Range:
$33.80 - $34 per hour (starting pay will be based on previous work experience and educational background.)
Shift Schedule: Saturday and Sunday 6 am - 2:30 pm
JOB QUALIFICATIONS

If the lived experience includes a history of substance use, a minimum of two (2) years of continuous sobriety prior to the date of employment is required, and ongoing sobriety must be maintained throughout the duration of employment.
Be willing to share their lived experience.
Have a strong dedication to recovery.
