Clinical Director
About The Position
At Women's Lunch Place, Dignity is Everything. Every day, Women's Lunch Place provides a place of safety, dignity, and hope for women experiencing homelessness, poverty, trauma, and complex life challenges. We're seeking an experienced Clinical Director to help shape the future of our clinical services and strengthen the trauma-informed foundation of our organization. This is not a traditional clinical position. Rather than maintaining a primary caseload, you'll provide strategic leadership and build systems that support both guests and staff while ensuring compassionate, ethical, and evidence-based care. If you're energized by mentoring clinicians, strengthening organizations, and creating meaningful systems change, we'd love to meet you.
Requirements
- Independent Massachusetts clinical licensure (LICSW, LMHC, LMFT, or equivalent)
- Five or more years of post-graduate clinical experience working with individuals experiencing trauma, housing instability, poverty, or other complex needs
- At least three years of clinical supervision or leadership experience
- Demonstrated expertise in trauma-informed care, crisis intervention, ethical decision-making, and multidisciplinary collaboration
- Excellent leadership, communication, and organizational skills
Nice To Haves
- Experience developing or leading clinical programs
- Knowledge of co-occurring mental health and substance use disorders
- Experience with nonprofit leadership, budgeting, program evaluation, or grant-funded services
- Fluency in Cantonese, Mandarin, or Spanish
Responsibilities
- Provide Clinical Leadership: Lead the integration of trauma-informed, evidence-based practices across all programs while promoting clinical excellence, ethical decision-making, and continuity of care. Serve as a trusted consultant for complex clinical situations, support multidisciplinary collaboration, and help ensure every guest receives thoughtful, coordinated care.
- Develop People and Programs: Supervise and mentor clinical leaders, strengthen staff development, and foster a culture of learning, reflection, and accountability. Support the growth of clinical programming, oversee the clinical fellowship program, and help develop the next generation of trauma-informed professionals.
- Strengthen Systems: Guide quality improvement efforts by supporting documentation standards, program evaluation, outcome measurement, and implementation of evidence-based models, including Critical Time Intervention (CTI). Ensure clinical services remain responsive to guest needs while supporting operational excellence and future funding opportunities.
- Build Partnerships: Serve as the organization's clinical liaison with healthcare providers, academic institutions, consulting professionals, and community partners. Strengthen relationships that expand services, improve continuity of care, and advance Women's Lunch Place's mission.
- Contribute to Organizational Leadership: Work collaboratively with senior leadership to shape strategy, support innovation, and ensure clinical perspectives inform organizational decisions. Help create an environment where guests are treated with dignity, staff feel supported, and clinical excellence is woven into every aspect of our work.
