COMMUNITY LIAISON

Community Liaison

The BridgeWay has been connecting with communities throughout Arkansas and beyond for 40 years. The BridgeWay offers a continuum of services designed to help children, adolescents, and adults who are experiencing behavioral, emotional, or addictive problems that can lead to fractured lives. Our team of professionals includes board-certified child/adolescent and adult psychiatrists, licensed clinical therapists, nurses, and mental health associates who are here to help people reconnect with their families, friends, and employers so that they may lead productive lives. Tucked within the wooded hills of Central Arkansas, The BridgeWay is just moments away from the major highways that unite Arkansans throughout the state. Founded in 1983 and accredited by The Joint Commission, our quiet campus has retained much of the cozy charm and character that existed then.

The Community Liaison directly serves as the connection between the facility, the community, and referring agencies. The Community Liaison is directly responsible for creating demand for the facility's services through the effective application of ethical marketing principles and sales methods. In collaboration with the Director of Business Development and Business Development Team, the Community Liaison presents a positive and professional public image of the facility within the community. The Community Liaison is responsible for implementing the facility's strategic sales plan, enhancing the facility's brand/image, effectively managing their assigned territory and accounts, and works to achieve departmental and facility business development goals. The Community Liaison must be able to demonstrate tact, resourcefulness, patience, and dedication in a fast-paced environment. Hours are based on departmental, and facility needs and may include day, evening, and weekend hours, as directed by the Director of Business Development.
