What are the responsibilities and job description for the Senior Clinician / Clinical Lead | $68K–$70K | Weekly Supervision Toward Final License |Bridgeton NJ position at ITAF LLC?
Pay: $68,000–$70,000 per year | Full-Time | In-Person | Bridgeton, NJ
Schedule: Monday–Friday | No weekends | No on-callThe clinicians we’re looking for already know they’re ready. They just haven’t found the right organization yet.You have the experience, the instincts, and the license. You’ve probably been doing lead-level work without lead-level recognition — or you’re in a role that pays fine but isn’t moving you forward. You need supervision hours toward your final license, a caseload you can actually do well, and an organization that has a real plan for your growth.That’s what this role is built for. What You Get
- $68,000–$70,000 per year — commensurate with experience
- Weekly clinical supervision toward LCSW, LPC, or LMFT — included in your role, starting after probation. Most clinicians pay out of pocket. Here, it’s built in, post probation.
- Caseload of ~25 clients — enough to do meaningful work
- Ownership of 2-3 of ITAF’s 5 core leadership pillars — not a title, a real scope of responsibility (details below)
- Dedicated admin support for scheduling and documentation — your time stays clinical and strategic
- Health, dental, and life insurance and paid time off
- Monday–Friday only — no weekends, no on-call
- The chance to build something rare — a mental health program for an underserved community in _______________County that doesn’t have enough of either
What You’ll OwnThis role has a defined structure. You won’t be doing everything — you’ll own the right things, with room to grow into the rest.You’ll lead 2- 3 of ITAF’s 5 core leadership pillars:
1. Licensing & ComplianceYou hold the clinical standard. Documentation quality, regulatory adherence, licensing requirements — you’re the person the team looks to when the answer matters. If something is out of alignment, you catch it and correct it.
2. Client Services: You set the bar for how clients experience ITAF. That means overseeing care quality, consistency, and outcomes — not just your own caseload, but the standard across the team you lead.
3. Growth: You’re not just running what exists — you’re helping build what’s next. Partner with leadership to develop services, identify gaps, and expand the location’s reach. This includes direct ownership of building a referral program including for an underserved Spanish-speaking population in Salem/Cumberland County. This work matters and almost nobody else in the area is doing it at this level.Exposure as you develop: Operations and team development are the next two pillars — and you’ll have visibility into both from day one. ITAF builds leaders with depth before breadth. When you’re ready to take on more, the path is there. Day-to-Day
- Carry a direct caseload (~25 clients) using CBT, DBT, and evidence-based modalities
- Oversee documentation quality and ensure team adherence to compliance standards
- Partner with leadership on service design, program development, and community outreach
- Contribute to the development and launch of any addition to the mental health program at this location
Who We’re Looking ForRequired:
- Active NJ license: LSW, LAC, or LAMFT
- 5 years of clinical experience in mental health
- 2 years in a supervisory or lead role
- Commitment to underserved and at-risk populations
This is your role if:
- You want a structured leadership path — defined ownership, named pillars, and a clear next level — not a vague “room to grow”
- You’re working toward full licensure and need weekly supervision that counts
- You want to do clinical work you’re proud of — not the highest possible volume
- You want to build something meaningful, not just maintain what already exists
