Hands-On Clinical Leader | Systems Builder | Change Leader | Compliance-Driven | Technical Leader | Clinical Authority |  
PTWMSI is seeking a hands-on, decisive Clinical Director who brings both vision and execution to community mental health care bringing strong clinical judgment, technical skills, and the ability to move work forward. This role is for a clinical leader who not only understands behavioral health systems—but knows how to build, fix, and lead them in practice

The Clinical Director  role owns clinical standards, quality, compliance, and technical execution, ensuring that the clinic operates in alignment with regulatory, ethical, and evidence-based requirements.
This position is ideal for a clinical leader who is comfortable setting standards, correcting course, and leading through expertise, not hierarchy.

Key Responsibilities
Clinical Standards, Quality & Technical Leadership
  • Own and define clinical standards across PTWMSI programs, ensuring consistent, high-quality, trauma-informed care.
  • Lead the development, implementation, and enforcement of clinical workflows, documentation standards, and treatment planning expectations.
  • Serve as the organization’s technical clinical expert, providing guidance on complex cases, clinical decision-making, and best practices.
Compliance, Fidelity & Audit Readiness
  • Act as the primary clinical authority for compliance with:
    • Joint Commission standards
    • BHSD / DBH Chapter 30 requirements
    • CAFAS implementation and fidelity
    • Grant-related clinical expectations
  • Support audit readiness and corrective action, including chart reviews, documentation audits, and clinical remediation plans.
  • Translate regulatory and compliance requirements into clear, actionable guidance for clinical staff.
Training, Supervision & Clinical Capacity Building
  • Provide clinical supervision and consultation to clinicians and supervisors as appropriate.
  • Design and deliver training that strengthens:
    • Clinical reasoning and treatment planning
    • Documentation accuracy and defensibility
    • Confidence in compliance and regulatory standards
  • Model decisive clinical judgment and accountability.
Cross-Functional & Executive Collaboration
  • Partner with the CEO, COO, Medical Director, Compliance, and Program Leadership to solve clinical and system-level challenges.
  • Bring forward clear assessments, recommendations, and decisions, not just risks or concerns.
  • Support organizational growth by ensuring clinical integrity and readiness scale alongside operations.
Direct Clinical Involvement
  • Provide direct clinical consultation and limited service delivery (e.g., telehealth, crisis support, case consultation) as needed to support programs such as DC MAP.
  • Maintain hands-on connection to clinical work to ensure leadership decisions are grounded in real-world practice.
Skills & Qualifications
Required
  • Master’s degree in Social Work, Counseling, or related field
  • Active LICSW or LPC (DC-eligible)
  • Minimum 3–5 years of direct behavioral health experience
  • Demonstrated experience providing clinical supervision or advanced clinical consultation
Strongly Preferred
  • Proven expertise in:
    • CAFAS implementation and fidelity
    • BHSD / DBH compliance and audits
    • Joint Commission readiness and corrective action planning
    • Clinical documentation quality improvement
  • Strong technical skills with EHR systems, clinical data, and workflow optimization
  • A leadership style that is decisive, grounded, and solutions-focused
Who Thrives in This Role
This role is ideal for someone who:
  • Enjoys being the clinical expert others rely on
  • Is comfortable setting direction and holding standards
  • Identifies problems and moves solutions into action
  • Can speak plainly, decide confidently, and follow through
  • Wants to build systems that work

U.S. Equal Opportunity Employment Information (Completion is voluntary)

We are an equal opportunity employer and all qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, national origin, disability status, protected veteran status, or any other characteristic protected by law.

You are being given the opportunity to provide the following information in order to help us comply with federal and state Equal Employment Opportunity/Affirmative Action record keeping, reporting, and other legal requirements.

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
