Job description

Bring Your Passion. Be the Difference.

At Appalachian Community Services (ACS), an ncgCARE partner, we are on a mission to transform lives through community-based mental health and family services. As part of our commitment to supporting youth and families across Western North Carolina, we’re looking for an experienced and passionate Intensive In-Home Team Lead to join our team.

This is not your average clinical role. As a Team Lead, you’ll provide direct therapy and hands‑on leadership, working closely with youth, families, and community supports to create strong, personalized paths to healing. You'll help guide a dedicated team of clinicians to deliver care that is solution‑focused, strength‑based, and family‑driven.

If you're ready to lead with heart, empower with purpose, and help children and families build better futures, we want to hear from you.

Build Your Purpose.

Compensation: $57,807 - $67,134

Position Description:

• Conduct and oversee client assessments to determine clinical needs, service scope, and anticipated outcomes.
• Assign team members based on their clinical expertise to ensure the highest quality care for each client.
• Provide individual and family therapy to clients assigned to the Enhanced Services team.
• Ensure service delivery aligns with medical necessity criteria and client Person‑Centered Plans (PCPs).
• Monitor and evaluate interventions, services, and client progress to support positive treatment outcomes.
• Provide clinical supervision and guidance to all team members, ensuring adherence to best practices and individual supervision plans.
• Ensure compliance with service documentation standards, including reviewing and approving service notes and PCPs.
• Lead regular team meetings to discuss client progress, interventions, and team challenges.
• Facilitate crisis response and linkage to additional services as needed to ensure comprehensive client care.
• Travel within the service area and maintain a flexible schedule to meet the needs of clients and the team.

The above statements describe the general nature of work being performed and are not an exhaustive list of all responsibilities.

What We're Looking For:

• Master’s degree in Social Work, Mental Health Counseling, Marriage & Family Counseling or a closely related field.
• Full licensure or Associate licensed as LCSW, LCSWA, LCMHC, LCMHCA, LMAFT, LMFT or equivalent (required).
• Reliable personal vehicle for community and in‑home visits.
• Deep understanding of child, adolescent, and family mental health.
• A collaborative, strengths‑based approach to client care.
