Certified Medication Aide

Grand Mental Health is hiring a Certified Medication Aide to join its onsite team in Tulsa, Oklahoma. This full-time role pays 38,500.00 USD per year and focuses on supporting treatment clients in a clinical setting. The organization operates a Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinic model that blends mental health and substance use treatment with physical health care to improve access to high-quality care. This job is a good fit for someone who is precise, compassionate, and comfortable working in a treatment environment.

The role centers on safe, accurate medication management: administering prescribed meds, verifying the client’s identity, the medication name, dosage, route and time, and observing clients as they take their medicines. It also requires careful documentation, including recording each dose on Medication Sheets and maintaining the Client Medication Book with the correct tabs for every client.

A steady daily rhythm in the medication room

In addition to administration, the Certified Medication Aide coordinates with nurses on duty, receives and gives shift handoffs, and helps keep the unit stocked by ordering medications and floor-stock supplies so medication administration remains uninterrupted.

Vital signs may be taken on request, while monitoring for side effects and reporting them promptly to the Nurse on Duty helps ensure client safety. Confidentiality and safety policy adherence are ongoing responsibilities that support clinicians, management, and the broader recovery goals of the clinic.

Documentation and record-keeping are ongoing tasks: updating the Client Medication Book and Medication Sheets, organizing them under the correct client tabs, and maintaining accuracy as medications are received and reconciled. The role also includes participating in staff meetings and contributing to the clinic’s mission of integrated care.

Must-have qualifications to join the team

• Ability to verify every administration by confirming client identity, medication name, dose, route and the exact time of administration
• Capability to observe clients as they ingest medications and to monitor for adverse effects
• Proficiency in documenting each dose on the Medication Sheet and filing entries in the Client Medication Book under the correct client tabs
• Skill in identifying and reporting medication side effects to the Nurse on Duty, including recording vital signs when needed
• Experience coordinating medication orders, restocking floor-stock supplies, and ensuring timely availability to prevent interruptions
• Commitment to confidentiality, adherence to safety policies, teamwork with clinicians and staff, and clear, professional communication in English
• Willingness to travel as required by the role and to attend staff meetings, with regular and predictable attendance

Pay, benefits and practical details

The position is full-time and onsite in Tulsa, Oklahoma, with a salary of 38,500.00 USD per year. Regular and predictable attendance is an essential job requirement, and the role may involve job-related travel as part of the duties.

As described, the work centers on medication administration within a Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinic framework, with the expectation of collaboration across clinical staff and participation in ongoing care delivery in a treatment setting.

Advice for applicants from a recruiter who knows this space

Lead your resume with your experience administering prescribed medications, and make sure you mention how you verify each dose by confirming the client’s identity, the medication name, dosage, route and timing.

When you describe your must-have skills, give concrete examples of how you’ve logged medications on Medication Sheets and kept the Client Medication Book organized for multiple clients, plus how you’ve detected and reported side effects to a Nurse on Duty while noting vital signs.

Be ready to walk through a typical shift in this environment: how you handle shift handoffs, how you reorder medications and restock supplies to avoid interruptions, and how you protect client confidentiality and follow safety policies.

Ask a thoughtful question about how the clinic measures success for this role within the CCBHC model, and what a successful shift handoff looks like in practice. A concrete follow-up could be: what system do you use for Medication Sheets and the Client Medication Book, and how is accuracy tracked over time?
