Community Integration Case Manager
Section 17 Adults · MHRT/C Required · Lincoln, Maine. An experienced case manager who knows how to connect people with the supports that keep them stable, independent, and engaged in their community. Out in the field, not behind a desk.
Help build a brand-new Section 17 program
MC Community Services is looking for an experienced case manager to join our Section 17 adult services team. We've just been approved to provide Community Integration Services across Penobscot and Piscataquis counties, and we need someone who knows how to connect people with the supports that keep them stable, independent, and engaged in their community. This is not a desk job — you'll be out in the field working directly with adults living with serious and persistent mental illness. This is W-2 employment.
There are very few Section 17 providers in this part of Maine. The need is real, the clients are waiting, and we're building a team that takes this work seriously. If you've done this work before and want to do it somewhere that values quality over volume, we'd like to talk to you.

About MC Community Services
MC Community Services has been providing behavioral health services in this region since 2009. We're locally owned, community-rooted, and growing. We provide children's behavioral health (Section 28), adult outpatient therapy and assessments (Section 65), and adult community supports (Section 17). Our Community Integration Services are launching now — you won't be inheriting someone else's caseload and processes. You'll help shape how this program runs, somewhere that values quality over volume.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need MHRT/C certification?
Yes. Active MHRT/C (Mental Health Rehabilitation Technician — Community) certification is required for this role. This is an experienced case management position, so we're looking for someone who already holds the credential.
What's the pay?
$22–$24/hr starting pay, with the higher end for candidates who bring Section 17 experience. On top of that: a seasonal bonus program (currently active April–September), tiered PTO that grows with your tenure, and mileage reimbursement.
Is this employee or contractor work?
W-2 employment. You are an employee of MC Community Services, not a contractor. That means real supervision, real support, and the protections that come with being part of a team — not the 1099 misclassification that's common in this field.
How is this different from the Daily Living Support role?
Both are Section 17 services for the same population. Community Integration is an experienced case management role: conducting assessments, coordinating services, and connecting people to housing, healthcare, and community resources — it requires active MHRT/C certification. Daily Living Support focuses on in-home routines and skills, offers paid MHRT-1 training, and requires no certification to start.
Where does the work happen?
Out in the community across Penobscot and Piscataquis counties — in clients' homes, community settings, wherever they need you. This is field-based work, not a desk job, so reliable transportation is a must.
Who supervises my work?
Joanna Preble (LCSW, LADC, CCS) is our Clinical Director and provides clinical supervision and support for all Section 17 staff. Because this program is brand new, you'll also help shape how it runs.
