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

Harbor Behavioral Health • Hopkinsville, KY

6d • Onsite

About The Position

Harbor Behavioral Health is hiring part-time Certified Social Workers for its Hopkinsville Therapeutic Rehabilitation Program. 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 Group Therapist leads a morning group and an afternoon group and completes the notes the same day; a Peer Support Specialist usually works alongside the clinician and starts the notes, and an LCSW co-signs them. With supervision, the clinician will gradually conduct client assessments and develop treatment plans. Required Board supervision is provided by an HBH LCSW at no cost and during paid hours.

The role is on site in Hopkinsville, Kentucky, and is part time, mostly 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 the month begins, and HBH asks before adding a shift. There is no on-call requirement or productivity quota.

Starting pay is $35 per hour, increasing to $37.50 at six months and $40 at 18 months, with the same rate on weekdays and weekends. A $3,000 bonus is paid in two installments: $1,500 after the 10th shift and $1,500 after the 30th, with no repayment required. Employment is contingent on successful completion of HBH pre-employment requirements, including background, registry, and federal exclusion checks; drug and health screenings; license and education verification; and reference checks.

Requirements

• Master's Degree in Social Work (MSW) from a CSWE-accredited program.
