Role Level: Licensed Clinician (LCSW / LPC) required

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.
