Supervisor, Integrated Behavioral Health

La Clinica de La Raza•Oakland, CA

About The Position

Who we are: La Clnica de La Raza is a community-based health center committed to providing culturally appropriate, high-quality, and accessible health care to the diverse communities of the San Francisco Bay Area. We have spent over 40 years advocating for and creating a health home for the many that have been denied access to care. As health care activists, we are dedicated to making sure individuals who do not have health coverage get the same level of quality healthcare as those who have it. From our genesis as a community health center in 1971, we understood that we cannot heal our communities without also addressing the economic and social factors that affect health. Many times, this requires that we go outside and provide services in other settings to build the bridge that links individuals to our health center for preventive and primary care. Over 90,000 individuals come to La Clnica because it is a welcoming place that addresses the whole person, coordinating and connecting them to a broad network of services to improve and maintain their health and well-being. While we are still known for our activism and spirit of social justice, we are also proud to have grown into a sophisticated provider of primary health care services with 35 sites across Alameda, Contra Costa and Solano counties. Doing work that heals: As an Integrated Behavioral Health Clinical Supervisor, you will be enlisted to provide clinical and administrative supervision to Integrated Behavioral Health staff. You will ensure the quality of services provided to clients. You will be well versed in medical social work, crisis intervention, case management, psychosocial assessment, diagnosis and brief treatment with families, children, adolescents and adults. This role requires flexibility in meeting patients' needs, and calls for an individual who is familiar with principles of cognitive-behavioral strategies and other evidence-based practices. Overall success in this position will require top-notch time organizational skills, a high degree of interpersonal competence with both staff and patients. The position reports to the Integrated Behavioral Health Manager, and requires licensure in clinical social work. We are a National Health Service Corps approved site. As such, our therapists are eligible for federal and state loan repayment.
