Job Description

Benefits

  • Bonus based on performance
  • Competitive salary
  • Health insurance
  • Paid time off
  • Training & development
  • Licensed Mental Health Professional (LISW, LPC, LMFT)
  • BetterCare Wellness — Charlotte, NC | Full-Time W-2 Employee

About the Role

BetterCare Wellness partners with senior living communities in the Rock Hill and Indian Land area to bring on-site mental health counseling directly to older adults where they live. As a member of our clinical team, you'll focus on what you do best — providing excellent clinical care — while we handle the business side that usually eats into a clinician's time and income.

This is a full-time W-2 position with a guaranteed base salary plus an uncapped productivity bonus once your caseload grows beyond a standard threshold.

What We Take Off Your Plate

Most clinicians spend hours a week on things that have nothing to do with therapy. We remove that burden entirely, so your time goes toward clients, not paperwork:

Patient referrals — a steady caseload delivered through our senior-community partnerships, so you're not prospecting for clients

  • Credentialing — we handle enrollment and payer credentialing on your behalf
  • Billing — full Medicare Part B billing support, so you're never chasing claims or reimbursement
  • EHR & documentation systems — access to our platform, already set up and ready to use
  • Administrative support — day-to-day logistics handled so you're not doing it solo
  • Clinical consultation — ongoing access to consultation and support from our clinical team

In short: no credentialing headaches, no billing backlog, no chasing referrals. You show up, collaborate with community staff, see clients, and get paid — we run the rest.

Compensation

$75,000 guaranteed base salary — paid regardless of caseload fluctuations, as long as you're carrying a full clinical schedule

Uncapped productivity bonus — once your caseload exceeds a standard threshold, you earn additional bonus pay with no ceiling; strong performers earn over $110,000/year

Most clinicians serve 1–4 senior living communities and carry a caseload of around 25–30 clients per week.

What You'll Do

  • Provide on-site individual counseling to residents in senior living communities
  • Conduct mental health assessments and develop care plans
  • Serve as BetterCare Wellness's primary relationship contact with community staff at your assigned site(s)
  • Maintain clinical documentation using our EHR system, in compliance with Medicare Part B and ethical/licensure standards
  • Collaborate with families, caregivers, and facility staff to support resident wellbeing

What We're Looking For

Fully and independently licensed in North Carolina — LISW, LPC, LMFT, LPA, or Psychologist. This role is not suitable for provisionally licensed or associate-level clinicians.

  • Strong relationship-building skills — you'll be the face of BetterCare Wellness within your communities
  • Genuine interest in older adult mental health and senior living settings
  • Employment & Benefits

This is a full-time W-2 employee role with a guaranteed base salary and uncapped bonus potential. As a BetterCare Wellness employee, you receive:

  • Employer-sponsored health insurance
  • 4 weeks Paid Time Off annually
  • Employer-paid payroll taxes — no self-employment tax burden
  • All infrastructure listed above (referrals, credentialing, billing, EHR, admin support)
  • Why BetterCare Wellness
  • Guaranteed base salary with uncapped upside for higher caseloads
  • Employer-sponsored health insurance
  • Credentialing, billing, and documentation handled so you can focus on clients
  • Set your schedule across 1–4 senior living communities
  • Work directly with communities you'll get to know well, not a rotating caseload of strangers

Provide on-site individual counseling to residents in senior living communities and conduct mental health assessments. Maintain clinical documentation in compliance with Medicare Part B and collaborate with facility staff and families.
