The Clinical Supervisor provides supervision and program oversight primarily across our juvenile justice-based programs.

This direct service and supervisory role provides high-quality, trauma-informed clinical care while supporting interns, coordinating programs, and leading program implementation. The Clinical Supervisor maintains strong relationships with community partners, ensures compliance with agency and funding requirements, and supports data-driven program improvement.

The Clinical Supervisor position is contingent upon the employee’s ability to consistently meet the performance expectations and Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) established by NuPAGE Communities. Because the Clinical Supervisor role includes both supervisory responsibilities and clinical productivity expectations, the employee must maintain satisfactory performance in both areas.

This position will have several areas of responsibility:

Clinical Supervision & Support

• Provide regular 1 v 1 and group clinical supervision to interns
• Support development of clinical skills, ethical practice, and trauma-informed care.
• Review and monitor documentation, service delivery, and treatment planning to ensure quality and compliance.
• Identify training needs and support ongoing professional development.
• Communicate intern performance concerns, clinical risks, and program needs to the intern supervisor and/or management.
• Participate in recruitment and interviewing of interns.
• Collaborate with management to support the onboarding, training, and integration of new team members.
• Identify high-performing interns as potential hires and communicate recommendations

Program Oversight & Community Partnerships

• Oversee service delivery across assigned program(s), including direct and indirect services.
• Serve as the agency’s Mental Health Juvenile Justice (MHJJ) Liaison and coordinate referrals and services for youth at risk of or involved in the juvenile justice system
• Build and maintain strong relationships with law enforcement, probation, courts, schools, and community partners.
• Provide support to local peer juries and liaison with local law enforcement officials.
• Serve as the main point of contact for all juvenile probation referrals in DuPage County.
• Ensure consistent, responsive communication regarding service updates and client needs.
• Oversee the delivery of ReDirect - the agency’s youth diversion program and make program enhancements as needed.
• Work with the Police Social Work team to develop and implement the ReDIrect Program in police departments with a high volume of juvenile referrals.
• Support program evaluation, continuous improvement, and development of community partnerships.

Direct Service

• Provide counseling services to assigned clients including individual, family, and group counseling.
• Co-facilitate the ReDirect Program - weekly group-based diversion program for youth with minor law enforcement contact (requires late afternoon and early evening availability on Thursdays)
• Maintain accurate and timely documentation of all individual counseling and group services.
• Provide a minimum of 60% of scheduled work time to providing direct services to clients, including assessment, counseling, case management, crisis intervention, and other client-facing activities consistent with program needs.
• Work with assigned clinical manager on an ongoing basis to manage time dedicated to direct service vs supervisory responsibilities in order to meet caseload expectations.
• Provide 24/7 on-call coverage for at least 2 days/month when needed

Data, Reporting & Program

• Oversee accurate documentation and tracking of services.
• Support collection and monitoring of program data to meet state grant and other funding requirements.
• Provide data and insights to leadership for reporting and program evaluation.
• Monitor service outcomes and trends to inform continuous quality improvement.

Requirements

• Master’s degree and full clinical licensure (LCSW) maintained for the duration of employment; full clinical license required-only considering candidates with an LCSW
