About The Position

Harbor Behavioral Health is seeking Certified Social Workers to provide shift-based travel coverage for its Therapeutic Rehabilitation Program in Hopkinsville, Kentucky. The role is intended for CSWs who live in or near Lexington, Louisville, or Northern Kentucky. Staff choose from the coverage shifts offered, with shifts agreed upon in writing before they begin. The position pays $50 for every hour of a Hopkinsville shift, including drive time, with mileage and lodging paid separately. Each shift begins with a morning team meeting. The therapist leads the day's group and completes documentation, usually alongside a Peer Support Specialist who starts the notes. Notes must be completed the same day and are co-signed by an LCSW. Over time, and under supervision, the therapist takes on assessments and treatment plans for clients in their groups. Required Board supervision is provided by an LCSW.
