About The Position

Anchor House, Inc. is seeking a Clinical Supervisor for its OASAS Part 820 Residential Services program. The Clinical Supervisor is the designated Part 820.6(c)(2) clinical supervisor for both the Men's and Women's residences and is accountable for day-to-day clinical operations and routine, documented supervision of clinical staff. The role develops counselors, oversees the quality of treatment planning and documentation, and serves as an on-site clinical resource for CASACs, CASAC-Ts and other clinical staff. This is a supervisory role with protected time and no routine counseling caseload. In a sudden staff shortage or emergency, the supervisor may temporarily cover counseling duties as a last resort, with written approval from the Director of Clinical Services, case co-signature by another QHP, and Executive Director review if coverage extends beyond 30 days. The position provides weekly documented clinical supervision, oversees staff training plans and credentialing, offers consultation on complex cases, and serves as QHP of record for treatment/recovery plan approvals and admission and level-of-care determinations within required timeframes. It also reviews clinical documentation, supports utilization review and Medicaid managed care authorizations, contributes to quality improvement and regulatory readiness, coordinates care with clinical and support teams, maintains on-site presence at both residences, and participates in the clinical on-call rotation. Core on-site hours are Monday–Friday, 9:00 a.m.–5:00 p.m., split between the two residences, with an evening or weekend presence at least once a month. Anchor House reserves the right to modify duties based on program needs, regulatory requirements and organizational changes.
