Community Support Team Lead Licensed Clinician
About The Position
SPARC is seeking a licensed or associate-licensed clinician to lead a Community Support Team (CST) serving adults with complex mental health and substance use treatment needs in the Asheville, North Carolina area. CST is an intensive, community-based service that uses a team approach to provide direct treatment, restorative interventions, and case management so clients can live in the community. The team consists of a licensed or associate-licensed clinician (LMFT/A, LCSW/A, or LCMHC/A), a substance use disorder professional, and two qualified professionals (QPs) or a QP/AP combination. The CST Team Lead completes assessments and clinical documentation updates, supports the program supervisor with treatment planning and clinical guidance for the team, and ensures clients’ treatment intensity needs are met. Services are intended to promote symptom stability, develop interpersonal, community, coping, and independent-living skills through restorative interventions, provide psychoeducation, respond to and deescalate crises, and coordinate services and connections to community resources. The team shares an after-hours on-call rotation for first-responder crisis intervention. SPARC has provided Family Centered Treatment in North Carolina since 2015 and is expanding into Central Virginia. The organization describes its culture as diverse and inclusive, with a focus on whole-person wellness and opportunities for personal and professional growth.
