Lead with Heart. Transform Crisis Care.
Clinical Director - Mobile Crisis Response Team (MCRT)
San Joaquin County, CA | Mon-Fri, 8:00 AM-5:00 PM

At Telecare, we believe recovery is possible for everyone. Our mission is to help individuals reclaim their health, hopes, and dreams. Through compassion, innovation, and inclusion, we are changing how communities experience behavioral health care.

Now, we are seeking a Clinical Director to lead the next evolution of our Mobile Crisis Response Team (MCRT) — a program that meets people in crisis where they are, helping them find safety, stability, and hope.

Passion. Mindset. Innovation. These set us apart.

MCRT is a 24/7 mobile behavioral health program serving individuals of all ages across San Joaquin County. Instead of traditional emergency responses, our teams bring skilled clinicians, case managers, and peers directly into the community to deliver care — not cuffs.

Our mission: to bridge the gap between crisis and recovery by collaborating with local partners like the Access & Crisis Line (ACL) and law enforcement. Together, we provide:

• Rapid crisis triage & management
• In-person stabilization & intervention
• Risk assessments & treatment recommendations
• Community-based follow-up and care coordination

As Clinical Director, you will be the steady leadership voice guiding this life-changing work. Reporting to the Administrator, you will:

• Lead, mentor, and clinically supervise a multidisciplinary team
• Shape program strategy and uphold quality improvement initiatives
• Oversee day-to-day operations with clinical insight and compassion
• Serve as an on-call leader during rotation periods, supporting critical decision-making
• Partner with community stakeholders to ensure care continuity and coordination

This is more than management — it is mission-driven leadership that transforms lives daily.

• Full-Time | Monday-Friday | 8:00 AM-5:00 PM
• Salary Range: 122, (commensurate with experience + geographic differential)

• Master's degree or higher in Social Services
• Current CA licensure: LCSW, LMFT, LPCC, RN, or Psy.
  
  D./Ph.D.
• 1+ year in a leadership role in an inpatient or outpatient setting
• 2+ years of post-graduate direct clinical experience
• Experience supporting individuals with mental health and substance use needs
• Cultural sensitivity and commitment to equity and inclusion
• CPR, CPI, and First Aid certification (or within 60 days)
• Valid CA driver's license and personal vehicle insurance

• Growth & Learning: Free CEUs, supervision, coaching, and leadership mentorship
• Education Support: Tuition discounts and company scholarships
• Time Off & Well-being: Generous PTO, paid holidays, and health benefits
• Retirement Security: 401K and Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP)
• Culture of Inclusion: A team built on empathy, diversity, and innovation

This is your chance to lead a compassionate team redefining crisis response. Together, we will build a community where help arrives with understanding, not stigma, and every individual’s story has a chance to continue.
