All of our residential recovery, housing, and member programs operate on the core values of dignity, respect, trauma-informed care, and harm reduction.
We are seeking an independently licensed clinical social worker on an hourly contract basis to provide clinical supervision to our clinical staff pursuing independent licensure.
Position Overview
As a Contract Clinical Supervisor, you will provide clinical guidance through hourly individual and group supervision to MSW and LCSW-level staff working toward independent LICSW licensure.

- Review complex cases, crisis response procedures, clinical boundaries, and safety planning.
- Address dynamics of substance use disorders, Medication for Addiction Treatment (MAT) options, and co-occurring disorders.
- Support supervisees in navigating secondary traumatic stress and preventing burnout.
Maintain formal supervision logs and sign required verification documentation for the MA Board of Registration of Social Workers.

Authorization and qualifications under MA board regulations to supervise and sign off on licensure hours for LCSW/MSW staff.
