LCSW / LMSW

Make a Real Difference in People's Lives
This is more than a caseload; it's the chance to be the clinical backbone for people rebuilding their lives after traumatic brain injury or living with developmental and psychiatric disabilities. You'll lead assessments, build care plans, and guide the teams who carry them out every day, with the autonomy to lead clinically and the backing of an organization that has been changing lives for over 50 years.

If you're a licensed social work professional who wants your clinical expertise to translate into real, tangible improvement in someone's life, we'd love to talk to you.

What You'll Do
Day to day, this looks like:

Getting to Know Your Clients

Get to know each client through bio-psycho-social assessments, diagnosis, and individualized treatment planning

Complete admission evaluations and functional assessments that set the tone for someone's care

Build (and keep evolving) Client Service Plans and behavioral support plans that direct care staff implement

Leading & Mentoring the Team

Coach and support Program Coordinators, Home Managers, and direct care staff so they feel confident carrying out each plan

Help build a team culture that's collaborative, inclusive, and genuinely high performing

Keeping Care on Track

Make sure services meet CARF accreditation, LARA licensing, and organizational standards — the guardrails that keep care safe and consistent

Flag concerns early, help drive corrective action, and shape policy so problems don't repeat

Connecting the Dots

Bring people together through interdisciplinary meetings and care conferences

Be the steady link between residents, families, staff, and outside partners like CMH supports coordinators, case managers, guardians, and treatment providers

Keep leadership in the loop on how programs are performing, and make sure residents' needs and voices are heard in every decision

Being There When It Matters Most

Answer the call when a crisis hits, assessing risk and putting safety plans into action

Coordinate with law enforcement or EMS when a situation calls for it

Qualifications

Master's degree in social work, with active Michigan licensure (LMSW, LCSW, LPC, or equivalent)

Minimum of 3 years of relevant experience, including previous experience working with clients with behavioral issues

Strong communication, organizational, and crisis-management skills, with sound judgment and a person-centered approach to care

Valid driver's license with acceptable MVR
