Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) - Full-Time, Hopkinsville

Harbor Behavioral Health • Hopkinsville, KY

2d • Onsite

About The Position

Harbor Behavioral Health (HBH) is a community-based behavioral health organization rooted in Lexington, Kentucky, with a growing presence in Hopkinsville. We provide structured, team-based services to adults with serious mental health needs, most of whom live in personal care homes, with a focus on building independence, stability and meaningful community connection. Our Therapeutic Rehabilitation Program (TRP) pairs licensed clinical staff with Peer Support Specialists in a collaborative, recovery-focused model. We're hiring a full-time LCSW for our Hopkinsville program. You'll be on site five days a week. We set your days together, in writing, and one can be a weekend day. No after-hours work, no on-call and no productivity quota. We're growing, so we tell you up front how this job will change: The clinical work for our Hopkinsville clients always comes first. While that work is lighter, you'll lead groups at our program. When our Lexington program needs help, including some weekends, you'll cover its clinical work, mostly remotely, with travel paid when you go. If a wave of new clients arrives, intakes come first.

Responsibilities

• Lead groups and spend real time with clients at our program.
