Certified Social Worker (CSW) - Group Therapist, Part-Time Weekend, Hopkinsville

Harbor Behavioral Health • Hopkinsville, KY

5d • Onsite

About The Position

Harbor Behavioral Health is hiring a part-time Certified Social Worker to work in its Therapeutic Rehabilitation Program in Hopkinsville, Kentucky. The program provides structured, team-based services to adults with serious mental health needs, using a collaborative, recovery-focused model that pairs licensed clinical staff with Peer Support Specialists.

Each shift begins with a morning team meeting. The therapist leads two groups per shift—one in the morning and one in the afternoon—and completes documentation the same day. A Peer Support Specialist usually works alongside the therapist and starts the notes. An LCSW co-signs the notes. Over time, and under supervision, the therapist will complete assessments and treatment plans for clients in their groups. Required Kentucky Board supervision is provided by an LCSW at no cost and during paid hours. The position has no on-call duties or productivity quota.

The role is on site in Hopkinsville and is mostly scheduled on Saturdays and Sundays, with weekday fill-in shifts when a full-time clinician is out or an additional group is added. Shifts are set in writing before each month begins, and the organization asks before adding a shift. The employee starts the week the Kentucky Board of Social Work approves the supervision contract; approval averages about three weeks after submission.

Harbor Behavioral Health describes its work environment as supportive and growth-oriented and emphasizes practicing its core values: responsibility, curiosity, candor, and agreements.
