Director of Clinical Services

Location:

Tidewater/Hampton Roads, Virginia

Compensation: $80,000–$90,000 annually

Organization:
Virtual Peace of Mind (VPM)

Virtual Peace of Mind (VPM) is a fast-growing, fully remote mental health practice dedicated to providing compassionate, evidence-based care to youth and families across multiple states. Our mission is to expand equitable access to mental health services through high-quality virtual care while supporting the clinicians and professionals who make that care possible.

We are building a culture that is mission-driven, accountable, supportive, and designed for sustainable remote work.

The Director of Clinical Services serves as the senior clinical leader for Virtual Peace of Mind and is responsible for the strategic leadership, operational oversight, quality assurance, workforce development, and successful delivery of clinical services across the organization.

This executive leadership position oversees clinical operations, clinical personnel, quality and compliance, workforce performance, strategic partnerships, program implementation, clinical education, and apprenticeship programming.

Serving as the CEO's designee for clinical operations, the Director assumes primary responsibility for the day-to-day leadership of clinical services, clinical personnel, clinical performance, and assigned implementation activities. The Director is expected to independently manage the clinical department, resolve routine operational and personnel matters, maintain accountability for clinical performance, and appropriately elevate matters requiring CEO involvement. This structure allows the CEO to remain focused on organizational strategy, statewide expansion, business development, grants, and executive partnerships.

A major priority of this position is the design and implementation of VPM's 16-month clinical apprenticeship program, including development of the weekly curriculum, learning objectives, competencies, training activities, supervision expectations, evaluation tools, and implementation standards.

This opportunity may be particularly appealing to a seasoned behavioral health professional entering the next chapter of their career—someone who has already built significant clinical and leadership experience and is now looking for an opportunity to put that experience to work in a meaningful and lasting way.

We are looking for an accomplished clinical leader who no longer needs to prove that they can lead, but is excited about the opportunity to build, mentor, teach, develop future clinicians, strengthen systems, and leave a professional legacy.

The ideal candidate may be transitioning from a long-term leadership position, returning to the workforce in a different capacity, or intentionally seeking a second-career or next-chapter opportunity that offers meaningful executive responsibility without requiring them to build their own organization from the ground up.

This is not a passive, advisory, or ceremonial Director position. VPM is growing, and we need an experienced leader who still enjoys the work of leading and building. The Director will have significant responsibility and decision-making authority for clinical operations, workforce performance, leadership development, program implementation, strategic partnerships, and the systems necessary to support the organization's continued growth.

One of the most significant opportunities in this role is the ability to shape the next generation of behavioral health professionals. The Director will lead development of VPM's 16-month clinical apprenticeship framework and help create a structured pathway through which emerging clinicians can learn, develop, and become strong…
