Job Duties

Central State Hospital (CSH) is a 277 bed Joint Commission accredited psychiatric inpatient facility located in Petersburg, Virginia.

CSH maintains the only maximum-security treatment facility in the state (111 beds). We also have 166 beds available for individuals in the community who need inpatient care, as well as individuals in the criminal justice system. We believe that treatment should be holistic and focused on the person’s individual needs, recognizing that recovery is not linear or the same for every person.

• Demonstrate successful interventions to manage conflict including crises and aggressive behavior, motivate others, work effectively in a constantly changing environment, and tolerate emotional stress

• Some knowledge of the laws that identify & describe types of patients admitted to CSH, and of the accreditation/regulating organizations that establish standards

• Computer skills to perform document development, learning tools, and electronic communication

• Ability to hear and see in order to assess and respond to safety concerns
