We are seeking a high-energy, clinically skilled Licensed Social Worker (LSW) to serve as a Behavioral Health Care Manager (BHCM) . In this role, you are the "engine" of the Collaborative Care team, working alongside Primary Care Providers (PCPs) and our Psychiatric Consultants to manage a caseload of patients toward clinical remission.

• Collaborative Review: Participate in weekly systematic case reviews with the Zenora Psychiatric Consultant to refine treatment plans and medication recommendations.
• Care Coordination: Facilitate "warm hand-offs" from PCPs and communicate intake reports and diagnostic impressions back to the primary care team.
• Outcome Tracking: Manage the patient registry to ensure "Treatment to Target" goals are met, typically aiming for symptom remission within 3 to 6 months.

• Licensure: Active New Jersey Licensed Social Worker (LSW) in good standing.
