Licensed Clinical Social Worker LCSW

Job Description

Job Description

Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW)
BetterCare Wellness — Charlotte, NC | Independent Contractor (1099)

About the Role

BetterCare Wellness partners with senior living communities across the Charlotte metro area to bring on-site mental health counseling directly to older adults where they live. As a contracted clinician, you'll focus on what you do best — providing excellent clinical care — while we handle the business side that usually eats into a private practice clinician's time and income.

This is a 1099 independent contractor position with productivity-based compensation — the more clients you see, the more you earn, with no cap.

What We Take Off Your Plate

Most independent clinicians spend hours a week on things that have nothing to do with therapy. We remove that burden entirely, so your time goes toward clients, not paperwork:

• Patient referrals — a steady caseload delivered through our senior-community partnerships, so you're not prospecting for clients
• Credentialing — we handle enrollment and payer credentialing on your behalf
• Billing — full Medicare Part B billing support, so you're never chasing claims or reimbursement
• EHR & documentation systems — access to our platform, already set up and ready to use
• Administrative support — day-to-day logistics handled so you're not doing it solo
• Clinical consultation — ongoing access to consultation and support from our clinical team

In short: no credentialing headaches, no billing backlog, no chasing referrals. You show up, collaborate with community staff, see clients, and get paid — we run the rest.

Compensation

Pay is structured around caseload volume:

• 20 clients/week → $75,000/year
• 25 clients/week → $95,000/year
• 30 clients/week → $113,000/year

Most clinicians serve 1–4 senior living communities and carry a caseload of around 25 clients per week.

What You'll Do

• Provide on-site individual counseling to residents in senior living communities
• Conduct mental health assessments and develop care plans
• Serve as BetterCare Wellness's primary relationship contact with community staff at your assigned site(s)
• Maintain clinical documentation using our EHR system, in compliance with Medicare Part B and ethical/licensure standards
• Collaborate with families, caregivers, and facility staff to support resident wellbeing

What We're Looking For

• Fully and independently licensed in North Carolina as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW). This role is not suitable for provisionally licensed or associate-level clinicians.
• Comfortable working independently as a contractor, focused on clinical work
• Strong relationship-building skills — you'll be the face of BetterCare Wellness within your communities
• Genuine interest in older adult mental health and senior living settings

Contractor Status

This is a 1099 independent contractor role with productivity-based pay and no salary floor or ceiling. As an independent contractor, you are responsible for your own health insurance, retirement contributions, and self-employment taxes; BetterCare Wellness does not provide employee benefits for this role. What we do provide is everything listed above — the infrastructure that lets you practice without running a business on the side.

Why BetterCare Wellness

• Referral resources that provide a full caseload
• Guaranteed base pay during onboarding
• Credentialing, billing, and administrative support so you can focus on clients
• Set your own schedule across 1–4 senior living communities
• Uncapped, productivity-based earning potential
• Work directly with communities you'll get to know well, not a rotating caseload of strangers
