Collaborative Care Director: LCSW

• Collaborative Care Director
• Location: Virtual/Remote with travel to partner clinics
• Reports To: VP Strategy and Operations, Adjuvant Behavioral Health

About Adjuvant

Adjuvant Behavioral Health is a tele-behavioral health clinic with a singular mission: to bring expert psychiatric and psychological care to cancer patients when and where they need it most. We partner with leading oncology practices — including Texas Oncology, Tennessee Oncology, The Center for Cancer and Blood Disorders, and Ochsner Healthcare — to embed collaborative care and psychotherapy directly into the cancer care journey.

We believe that healing is holistic. Our team shows up for patients not just as clinicians, but as people who genuinely care about the whole person — mind, body, and spirit. If that resonates with you, we want to meet you.

Position Overview

Applicants holding an LCSW‑S credential will be given preference.

The Collaborative Care Director is a senior clinical and operational leader responsible for overseeing and scaling Adjuvant's collaborative care programs across our partner networks. This individual will serve as the primary liaison between our clinical team and partner practices, ensuring care coordination models are implemented with fidelity, measured for outcomes, and continuously improved.

While the role is primarily remote with occasional travel to partner clinics, the selected applicant will spend additional time in the DFW area during the initial phase to strengthen team cohesion and establish consistent workflows.

The ideal candidate is a systems thinker who is equally at home coaching clinicians, sitting in strategy conversations with hospital administrators, building and refining program excellence, and diving into care quality data.
