      Why Swing & Graveyard Specialists Are Essential

      Crisis doesn't follow a 9-5 schedule - and neither do we. During evening and overnight hours, people experiencing emotional distress are often at their most vulnerable. As a 988 Crisis Call Specialist on Swing or Graveyard shifts, you play a critical role in providing calm, compassionate, life-saving support when other resources may be limited.

      If you're someone who:
      • Thrives during evening or overnight hours
      • Stays grounded in high-stress, high-impact moments
      • Finds purpose in being there when others can't

      This role was built for you.

      About the Role

      The 988 Crisis Call Specialist provides high-quality crisis intervention and emotional support to individuals contacting the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline via phone, online chat, and SMS text. This fully remote role requires strong communication skills, sound judgment, and the ability to work independently while remaining connected to a supportive clinical team.

      Swing and Graveyard shifts are ideal for professionals who are confident, focused, and compassionate during quieter but often more intense hours.

      Shift Information
      • Swing Shifts: Late afternoon through evening
      • Graveyard Shifts: Overnight, including weekends and holidays

      These shifts offer consistent scheduling and are well-suited for candidates who prefer non-traditional hours and fewer daytime distractions.

      What You'll Do
      • Respond to 988 calls, or chats and texts, with empathy and professionalism
      • Conduct suicide and behavioral health risk assessments
      • De-escalate high-intensity situations using evidence-based practices
      • Collaborate with on-shift clinicians when elevated risk is identified
      • Create safety and action plans with callers
      • Provide referrals and connections to community resources
      • Complete accurate and timely documentation
      • Maintain confidentiality and adhere to all program and organizational protocols


      Requirements

      ? Qualifications & Experience

      Required:
      • High School Diploma or GED plus four (4) years of full-time behavioral health experience OR an equivalent combination of education and experience
      • Strong verbal and written communication skills
      • Ability to multitask across multiple software platforms
      • Comfort working independently during evening or overnight hours
      • Agency Affiliated Counselor (AAC) credential required by the end of the probationary period. Applications must be submitted within 30 days of hire. Crisis Connections will reimburse the cost of obtaining the credential.

      Preferred:
      • Crisis intervention or contact center experience
      • Experience in suicide prevention, mental health, or substance use services
      • Knowledge of local or state public mental health systems

      • Smartphone capable of Microsoft Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)
      • Quiet, confidential workspace
      • Ability to remain seated/standing and focused for extended periods while managing multiple systems
