The Opportunity
Traditional leadership roles often demand significantly more responsibility and liability, yet the pay rarely reflects the effort. We are doing things differently. We are seeking a Clinical Director who wants to step into leadership by hand-picking their own team. Instead of managing a pre-assigned department, you will have the freedom to recruit and mentor a high-quality clinical "pod" from the ground up.
The Vision: This role allows you to essentially own a business within a business. You focus entirely on clinical excellence and staff development, while the company provides the operational engine, financial infrastructure, and administrative support.
Why This Role Is Different
Choose Your Team: You have the final say in who you work with. Build a team culture based on your clinical values and mutual respect.
Uncapped Earning Potential: We believe leadership should be rewarded. Our unique model ensures that as your team and impact grow, your compensation increases proportionally—without a salary cap.
No Administrative Burdens: You focus on mentorship; we handle the "headaches." We provide the full operational platform, including billing, credentialing, insurance audits, payroll, and a HIPAA-compliant EHR.
Home-Based Autonomy: Ditch the office commute. Manage your team and your caseload from your home office, meeting clients and community partners in the field.
Stable Clinical Base: Enjoy a premium, high-rate hourly base for your direct clinical work to ensure financial peace of mind from Day 1.
Compensation & Total Rewards
We provide a comprehensive rewards package designed to grow alongside your professional impact. As your team scales, your benefits expand to include:
Premium Direct Clinical Rate
Uncapped Leadership Performance Pay
Monthly Health Care Reimbursement (Stipend for premiums and medical costs)
Fixed Monthly Travel & Gas Stipend
Annual Paid Time Off (PTO)
Professional Development & CEU Stipend
What You’ll Do
Clinical Mentorship: Provide expert supervision to your team (Licensed or Non-Licensed), helping them grow within the NJ Children’s System of Care (CSOC).
Direct Clinical Impact: Maintain a manageable personal caseload (12-22 hours) to lead your team by example.
Community Connection: Leverage your established reputation in throughout counties in New Jersey within the Care Management Organizations and Children's System of Care to ensure your team has a steady flow of cases.
The Ideal Profile
Licensure: Active NJ LCSW or LPC (Required).
Supervision: Eligible or certified to provide clinical supervision in New Jersey.
The "Builder" Spirit: You want the income and influence of an owner, but you want to spend your time on clinical leadership rather than paperwork.
