AWS is a dynamic, forward-thinking agency that values innovation, teamwork, and employee contributions, fostering a culture of collaboration, accountability, and recovery-oriented care. They prioritize employee well-being with a 100% employer-paid Health Insurance Plan for employees, free life insurance, short-term and long-term disability, Employee Assistance Program (EAP) services, and generous Paid Time Off (PTO).

This leadership role is ideal for a clinician passionate about systems-building, mentorship, and clinical quality, comfortable guiding staff supporting clients with diverse clinical acuity and complex needs. The ideal candidate will balance operational and clinical needs with a solutions-oriented, creative mindset for program expansion and community partnerships. They should be "clear and kind," leading by example, holding teams accountable, and possessing the humility to access expertise when needed. A genuine love for teaching and guiding emerging professionals is essential due to AWS's active expansion of its clinical training program through university internship agreements. The role requires modeling exceptional professionalism, serving as an objective, supportive mentor, advancing clinical growth, and maintaining strong leadership boundaries for a safe, respectful, and effective workplace.
