Different hospitals I've worked at called them different things.. mental health workers, child care workers (in child and adolescent psych), mental health techs, mental health aides.. they are basically the nurses aides of the psych unit. Most of them I've worked with had their BS in Psychology and were working toward their Masters. Some became chemical addiction counselors.
ETA: actually, that posted job description is not what I was thinking of, really. They weren't allowed to touch meds at all, only the RNs could do that. I've never seen a Psychiatric Technician in action.
