Job Summary:

This is an Internal Employment Opportunity 

Student Care in department of the Dean of Students is seeking a Student Care Triage Coordinator. This is a full-time (1.00 FTE), 12-month, professional faculty position. 

The Student Care Triage Coordinator serves as a primary daytime access point for non-emergency student concerns received by Student Care. The Student Care Triage Coordinator reviews and prioritizes incoming reports and consultations; conducts timely needs, risk, and resource screening within the scope of the position; provides brief, non-clinical stabilization and case coordination; and connects students with appropriate university and community resources through warm handoffs. When established criteria are met, the Student Care Triage Coordinator may provide limited in-person response on the Corvallis campus Monday through Friday during established university business hours to support immediate stabilization, consultation, and connection to care.

The Student Care Triage Coordinator collaborates closely with Student Care case managers, Counseling and Psychological Services, Public Safety, emergency responders, academic and student support units, and community partners. The Student Care Triage Coordinator also advances proactive support by providing consultation, education, and practical skill-building that help campus partners identify distress, respond effectively, and connect students to support earlier. This position does not provide psychotherapy, clinical diagnosis, emergency medical care, law-enforcement services, transportation, after-hours coverage, or an alternative to 911 or other emergency response. Ongoing and complex case management is transferred to the appropriate case manager or specialized service after initial stabilization and documented handoff.
