LCSW Clinical Lead / Clinical Supervisor
About The Position
AZ Center for Change (AZCFC) is seeking an experienced Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) to join our clinical team in a unique role that combines direct clinical practice with clinical leadership and supervision. This position is designed for an experienced clinician who enjoys continuing to work directly with clients while also helping other clinicians develop their skills and grow professionally. The Clinical Lead will maintain an active caseload while providing clinical supervision to associate-licensed and unlicensed behavioral health clinicians. This is not primarily an administrative management position. The focus is clinical practice, supervision, consultation, clinician development, and maintaining high standards of clinical care. This is a full-time clinical leadership position, with work time divided between direct client services and clinical supervision/leadership responsibilities. The Clinical Lead maintains an active caseload with an expectation of approximately 75-80% of time devoted to direct service. Remaining scheduled time is dedicated to clinical supervision, consultation, documentation review, clinician development, training, meetings, and other clinical quality activities. The Clinical Lead works collaboratively with the Clinic Operations Manager.
