Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) – Clinical Supervisor
About The Position
Rooted Life is seeking an experienced Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) to serve as a Clinical Supervisor for their CalAIM Programs, which include Enhanced Care Management (ECM), Recuperative Care, Short-term Post Hospitalization Housing, Housing Navigation, and Housing Tenancy services. This is an onsite, California-based leadership position responsible for supervising and developing a team of 6-8 Lead Care Managers (LCMs). The role also involves providing clinical oversight, consultation, and quality assurance for a client panel of approximately 70-80 participants. The client panel represents the total population served by the care management team, not a direct-treatment caseload for the LCSW. Each Lead Care Manager directly supports about 15-20 clients, while the LCSW offers clinical guidance, case consultation, risk assessment support, care plan oversight, and supervision to ensure high-quality client outcomes. The position requires strong leadership skills, clinical judgment, and experience with high-acuity populations, including those experiencing homelessness, behavioral health conditions, substance use disorders, complex medical needs, and barriers to housing stability.
