Licensed Clinical Social Worker

Title : Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW)

Location: Hopkinsville KY / Lexington KY

About the Practice

We are a community-based behavioral health organization rooted in Lexington, KY with a growing presence in Hopkinsville. We provide structured, team-based services to adults with serious mental health needs, most of whom live in personal care homes, with a focus on building independence, stability and meaningful community connection. Our Therapeutic Rehabilitation Program (TRP) pairs licensed clinical staff with Peer Support Specialists in a collaborative, recovery-focused model.

Role Description:

We're hiring a full-time LCSW for our Hopkinsville program. You'll be on site five days a week. We set your days together, in writing, and one can be a weekend day. No after-hours work, no on-call and no productivity quota.

Responsibilities:

What you'd actually do

• Lead groups and spend real time with clients at our program.
• Do intakes, including visits to the personal care homes where our clients live.
• Own the clinical side of each client's record: assessments, treatment plans, documentation, prior authorizations and renewals, and calls with insurance reviewers.
• Work alongside our Peer Support Specialists. Our Hopkinsville site lead runs your performance reviews, and you'll work directly with owner.
• Use our note checker and other AI tools, which make the paperwork fast.

How this job will change (we put this in writing)

We're growing, so we tell you up front how this job will change:

• The clinical work for our Hopkinsville clients always comes first.
• While that work is lighter, you'll lead groups at our program.
• When our Lexington program needs help, including some weekends, you'll cover its clinical work, mostly remotely, with travel paid when you go.
• If a wave of new clients arrives, intakes come first.

Master's degree in Social Work (MSW) from a CSWE-accredited program

Valid driver's license, reliable transportation and current auto insurance

Familiarity with Kentucky Medicaid documentation and prior authorizations
