Licensed Clinical Social Worker

Make a Real Difference in People's Lives
This is more than a caseload; it's the chance to be the clinical backbone for people rebuilding their lives after traumatic brain injury or living with developmental and psychiatric disabilities. You'll lead assessments, build care plans, and guide the teams who carry them out every day, with the autonomy to lead clinically and the backing of an organization that has been changing lives for over 50 years.
If you're a licensed social work professional who wants your clinical expertise to translate into real, tangible improvement in someone's life, we'd love to talk to you.

• Be the steady link between residents, families, staff, and outside partners like CMH supports coordinators, case managers, guardians, and treatment providers
• Keep leadership in the loop on how programs are performing, and make sure residents’ needs and voices are heard in every decision

• Coordinate with law enforcement or EMS when a situation calls for it
