Pay Range: $65,000-$70,000 Per Year

• Our client is an established nonprofit behavioral health organization providing residential treatment and recovery services to individuals impacted by substance use disorders, trauma, and co-occurring behavioral health needs.
• The organization provides comprehensive, team-based treatment designed to address both the clinical and everyday challenges that can impact long-term recovery.
• Services incorporate clinical support, counseling, case management, education, structured activities, and coordination of care within a supportive residential environment.
• This opportunity is based within a 30-bed women's residential treatment program where residents typically participate in treatment for approximately 9-12 months.

• We are seeking a New York State Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) who is interested in developing their clinical skills while working closely with women receiving residential substance use treatment.
• This is an excellent opportunity for an early-career LMSW. Candidates do not need years of post-graduate clinical experience to be considered.
• Relevant MSW internships and field placements count as experience, and the organization is willing to train and develop a motivated clinician.
• The position also provides opportunities for continued clinical growth and progression toward LCSW licensure.
• This is not a traditional high-caseload therapy position. The LMSW's primary responsibility is supporting new admissions through assessment and initial treatment planning before transitioning residents to their primary counselors.

• Complete biopsychosocial assessments for new admissions
• Develop initial treatment/service plans
• Conduct substance use and co-occurring disorder screenings and assessments
• Participate in intake and resident orientation
• Support approximately 1-2 new admissions per week
• Collaborate with primary counselors as residents transition into ongoing treatment
• Participate in treatment-team meetings, case conferences, and interventions
• Provide trauma-informed support within the residential environment
• Assist with crisis intervention as needed
• Provide limited individual, group, or family support based on referrals and resident needs
• Coordinate referrals, case management, and care coordination services when appropriate
• Maintain accurate and timely clinical records and documentation
• Participate in trainings and share relevant information with the broader treatment team
• Participate in outreach, resident activities, and recreational/program functions
• Observe resident progress and communicate relevant information to counselors and clinical leadership
• Become an active member of the residential community and multidisciplinary treatment team

• Active New York State LMSW license required
• Master's degree in Social Work
• Experience or clinical exposure to substance use disorder, behavioral health, trauma, or co-occurring populations preferred
• Relevant MSW internships and clinical field placements will be considered
• Newer LMSWs are encouraged to apply
• Experience with biopsychosocial assessments and treatment planning preferred
• Strong interpersonal and communication skills
• Comfortable working with individuals impacted by trauma and substance use
• Collaborative, flexible, personable, and motivated to learn
• Ability to work effectively within a multidisciplinary residential treatment environment

• This position is approximately 99% onsite. The typical schedule is around 9:00 AM-5:00 PM, but flexibility is important.
• Depending on resident and program needs, schedules may occasionally shift to hours such as 12:00 PM-8:00 PM, and there may be times when the LMSW stays later for a family meeting or other resident-related need.
• The program is looking for someone who understands that residential behavioral health can be fluid and who is comfortable becoming an active part of the overall program.

• For a newer LMSW, this position offers the opportunity to build valuable clinical experience in substance use treatment, trauma-informed care, assessments, treatment planning, case conferences, and interdisciplinary behavioral health without immediately inheriting a…
