Job description

MSW / Bilingual Russian-Speaking Behavioral Care Manager (BCM)

1099 Part-Time Contractor | Remote | New York

MSW or Equivalent Qualifications | 2+ Years of Relevant Experience | Professional Licensure Not Required

Integral Health – Making Behavioral Health Part of Everyday Care

At Integral Health, we partner with primary care providers, ACOs, and MCOs to integrate behavioral health into value-based care.

Our mission is simple: make high-quality behavioral health care easier to access and more connected to the rest of a patient's healthcare experience.

We don't simply add behavioral health services alongside primary care. We help practices build a more integrated model in which behavioral health professionals, primary care providers, and psychiatric consultants work together to identify needs earlier, track outcomes, and adjust care when patients are not improving.

The Role

As a Behavioral Care Manager (BCM), you'll work directly with patients while collaborating virtually with primary care teams within the Collaborative Care Model (CoCM).

This is a patient-facing behavioral health position, not simply an administrative care coordination role.

You'll maintain an assigned patient caseload, conduct behavioral health screenings, provide patient education and appropriate evidence-based behavioral interventions, monitor treatment progress, and collaborate with primary care providers and psychiatric consultants.

The role emphasizes brief, focused interventions, measurable outcomes, consistent patient follow-up, and coordinated care.

Depending on your qualifications, licensure status, and applicable supervision requirements, your responsibilities may include additional clinical services within your authorized scope of practice.

You do not need to hold an active clinical license to be considered for this position. We welcome qualified MSWs and candidates with equivalent educational backgrounds and relevant behavioral health experience.

This opportunity may be an excellent fit if you enjoy working directly with patients, building meaningful relationships, and helping individuals make measurable progress in their behavioral health.

*Licensure Support Available for Eligible Candidates

What You'll Do

• Maintain and manage an assigned patient caseload within an integrated primary care setting.
• Conduct behavioral health screenings and structured assessments using tools such as PHQ-9, GAD-7, and C-SSRS, as appropriate to your training and authorized responsibilities.
• Provide patient education, behavioral health support, and evidence-based interventions within your qualifications and scope of practice.
• Support the development, implementation, and monitoring of individualized care plans in collaboration with the clinical team.
• Monitor patient symptoms, treatment progress, and progress toward measurable goals.
• Partner with primary care providers to coordinate behavioral health services within the patient's overall care plan.
• Support PCP-led medication management by monitoring and communicating patient-reported adherence, side effects, effectiveness, and concerns.
• Use a patient registry to manage caseloads, track follow-ups, re-engage patients, and identify individuals who may need additional support.
• Collaborate with primary care providers, psychiatric consultants, and other clinical team members to identify appropriate adjustments to care plans.
• Document patient interactions, care coordination activities, progress, and recommendations accurately in the EHR.
• Assist with relapse-prevention planning and ongoing behavioral health support.
• Educate patients and families about behavioral health conditions, treatment options, and available resources.
• Participate in regular psychiatric caseload consultations and interdisciplinary care discussions.
• Deliver services in accordance with applicable professional standards, supervision requirements, and scope-of-practice regulations.

Required Qualifications

• Master's degree in Social Work (MSW) or an equivalent graduate degree in a relevant behavioral health field.
• At least 2 years of relevant professional experience in behavioral health, mental health services, social work, or a closely related field.
• Fluency in Russian and English, with the ability to communicate effectively with patients in both languages.
• Experience working directly with patients or clients in behavioral health, mental health, or social service settings.
• Ability to commit to a minimum of 15 hours per week.
• Strong patient communication, assessment, documentation, and care coordination skills.
• Ability to work independently while collaborating with a multidisciplinary healthcare team.
• Comfort working in a remote environment and using EHR/EMR systems and technology-based clinical tools.
• Strong organizational skills and the ability to manage multiple priorities in a growing healthcare organization.

Professional licensure is not required to apply. Candidates with an LMSW, LCSW, LMHC, LMFT, or other relevant professional license are also encouraged to apply.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with the Collaborative Care Model (CoCM) or integrated behavioral health.
• Experience working with adolescent populations.
• Familiarity with evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Behavioral Activation, Motivational Interviewing, or Problem-Solving Treatment.
• Experience collaborating with physicians, primary care providers, or interdisciplinary healthcare teams.

What We Offer: Competitive Compensation

$45–$65 per hour, based on qualifications and experience, plus eligibility for a performance bonus of up to 5% for each six-month performance period, up to 10% annually.

Paid for All Approved Work Time

We pay for the work you perform, not just face-to-face patient time.

Compensable work may include direct patient care, documentation, care coordination, required meetings, training, and other approved professional responsibilities.

If a patient does not attend a scheduled visit, we still compensate time spent on appropriate outreach or care coordination.

Flexible Contractor Schedule

This is a part-time 1099 opportunity designed for professionals who value flexibility and are intentionally seeking contract-based work.

You’ll have flexibility in establishing your availability while meeting patient-care and program needs.

A minimum commitment of 15 hours per week is required.

Professional Growth & Licensure Support

At Integral Health, we’re committed to supporting your professional development and long-term career goals.

We offer access to Collaborative Care training, professional development opportunities, and potential support for MSWs pursuing professional licensure.

Depending on eligibility and program requirements, support may include:

• Guidance on the New York licensure process
• Access to eligible clinical supervision opportunities
• Professional development and training resources
• Potential reimbursement for approved licensure-related expenses

We welcome MSWs who are interested in obtaining their LMSW or advancing their professional credentials while gaining valuable experience in an integrated behavioral health setting.

Clinical Support and Collaboration

You’ll work alongside experienced behavioral health professionals, primary care providers, and psychiatric consultants in a collaborative environment.

Clinical supervision may be available for eligible professionals working 20 or more hours per week, depending on licensure status, program requirements, and applicable regulations.

A Culture That Values Sustainable Work

We believe excellent patient care and professional well-being go hand in hand.

We value healthy boundaries, collaboration, and a work environment designed to reduce unnecessary administrative burden.

This Role May Not Be the Right Fit If Yo u:

• Are primarily seeking a traditional full-time W-2 position.
• Prefer long-term, traditional psychotherapy over brief, focused behavioral health interventions and coordinated care.
• Prefer working independently without regular collaboration with physicians and other members of the care team.
• Are uncomfortable managing a dynamic caseload or balancing patient interactions, documentation, and care coordination.
