CLINICAL SUPERVISOR

Position: Clinical Supervisor

Department: Mental Health Services / Clinical Operations

Employment Type: Full-Time | Exempt

Location: Maryland – Clinic-Based, School-Based & Community-Based Services

Reports To: Clinical Director, Mental Health Services

Your Leadership. Our Mission. A Lasting Impact.

At Brighter, Stronger Foundation (BSF), we believe exceptional mental health services begin with exceptional clinical leadership.

We are seeking an experienced, highly skilled, and results-driven Clinical Supervisor who brings more than clinical expertise to the table. We are looking for a leader who sets the standard for quality care, develops strong clinicians, holds teams accountable, and understands the profound impact that effective mental health services have on individuals, families, schools, and communities.

This position requires a strategic thinker, an engaged clinical leader, and a hands‑on practitioner who can confidently balance clinical supervision, direct client services, staff development, and operational excellence.

If you are passionate about elevating clinical standards, mentoring professionals, and ensuring clients receive exceptional care, we want to hear from you.

What You’ll Lead and Accomplish

• Provide effective, structured clinical supervision and consultation across BSF's clinic-based and school-based mental health services.
• Deliver clinical supervision in accordance with applicable Maryland Board of Professional Counselors and Therapists (BOPC) and Board of Social Work Examiners (BSWE) requirements.
• Establish clear expectations for clinical quality, treatment planning, documentation, professional conduct, and service delivery.
• Review clinical assessments, treatment plans, progress notes, risk assessments, and other documentation to ensure accuracy, medical necessity, ethical practice, and regulatory compliance.
• Provide expert guidance on complex cases, crisis intervention, client safety, and clinical decision-making.
• Monitor clinical performance, caseload management, productivity, documentation compliance, and client outcomes.
• Address performance gaps through timely coaching, development, and appropriate accountability measures.

Direct Clinical Services & Client Care

• Maintain responsibility for providing direct, medically necessary, billable clinical services in accordance with BSF's productivity expectations.
• Complete assigned client intakes, assessments, treatment planning, and supporting clinical documentation.
• Provide direct clinical coverage at BSF partner schools when staffing needs, service demands, or client circumstances require additional support.
• Ensure continuity of care and timely delivery of services without compromising clinical standards.

Clinical Training & Professional Development

• Develop and facilitate engaging, relevant clinical training for BSF employees.
• Identify competency gaps and provide targeted instruction that strengthens clinical performance, ethical practice, documentation quality, and client outcomes.
• Mentor clinicians, reinforce evidence-informed practices, and foster a culture of professional growth and continuous improvement.
• Collaborate with leadership and People & Culture to support onboarding, employee development, performance evaluation, and clinical competency assessments.

Interdisciplinary Collaboration

• Partner closely with BSF's Medical Director, psychiatric prescribers, clinical leadership, school personnel, and other treatment providers to support integrated, coordinated care.
• Participate in interdisciplinary case conferences, clinical reviews, incident investigations, and quality‑improvement initiatives.
• Identify and upscale clinical risks, compliance concerns, and service‑delivery barriers while helping implement sustainable solutions.

School & Community Engagement

• Build and maintain meaningful referral relationships with schools, healthcare providers, community organizations, and other strategic partners.
• Serve as a trusted clinical representative of BSF in school and community settings.
• Support initiatives that strengthen access to mental health services, improve referral coordination, and expand BSF's community impact.

What You Bring to BSF

Education & Professional Licensure

• Master's degree in social work, counseling, or another appropriate clinical discipline.
• Active Maryland Licensed Mental Health Professional (LMHP) credential in good standing.
• Applicable Board‑approved supervisor qualifications for assigned clinical supervision responsibilities.
• Commitment to maintaining all required licenses, professional standing, continuing education, and supervisory approvals throughout employment.

Board‑Approved Clinical Supervision Qualifications

BSF will evaluate candidates according to their Maryland licensure, Board approvals, and the clinical supervision responsibilities assigned to the position.

• Combined LMSW/LGPC Supervision: Candidates assigned Board‑approved supervision responsibilities for both groups must be LCSW-C licensed, hold the appropriate BSWE supervisor approval, and meet any separate BOPC approval requirements. Applicable LCPC‑approved supervision coverage must also be maintained.
• LMSW‑Focused Supervision: Candidates qualified to supervise LMSWs may be considered for an assignment focused on that population. Eligible individuals may pursue separate BOPC approval for LGPC supervision.
• LGPC‑Focused Supervision: Candidates qualified to supervise LGPCs may be considered for an assignment focused on that population. BSF will maintain additional LCPC‑approved supervisory coverage where required.

All clinical supervision responsibilities must remain within the individual's verified qualifications, licensure, and applicable Board authorizations.

Experience & Leadership Capabilities

The successful candidate will demonstrate:

• Strong clinical experience in behavioral health or mental health service delivery.
• Demonstrated ability to supervise, coach, and develop clinical professionals.
• Sound clinical judgment and the ability to navigate complex, high‑risk, or sensitive client situations.
• Working knowledge of Maryland COMAR requirements, CARF standards, clinical documentation expectations, and applicable professional regulations.
• Experience supporting clinic-based, school-based, or community-based mental health services.
• Ability to balance supervisory responsibilities with direct client care and productivity expectations.
• Strong communication, organizational leadership, problem‑solving, and relationship‑building skills.
• A commitment to accountability, ethical decision‑making, confidentiality, and clinical excellence.

At BSF, success in this position is demonstrated through more than completed supervision sessions or documentation reviews.

Success means developing confident, capable clinicians; delivering safe and effective clinical services; maintaining strong regulatory compliance; strengthening relationships with schools and community partners; and consistently improving the quality and accessibility of care.

We are seeking a leader who takes ownership, leads by example, makes informed decisions, and consistently delivers results.
