Chiropractic Associate Jobs in Oregon (NOW HIRING)

Conifer Wellness is an independently owned outpatient mental health clinic, created by a band of clinicians who recognize healthcare providers are people too. We believe in taking care of our employees as well as our patients. We are committed to remaining an independent and close-knit organization so we can retain autonomy over our clinical and company policies. The admin and CEO are easy to reach; you will not work for The Faceless Boss here!

Conifer is currently seeking an LCSW as clinical director to jointly develop, facilitate, and guide our growing program. We are currently working on an application for our Certificate of Approval (CoA), so any experience with policy writing is of particular interest. We’re committed to working together, not only to achieve the highest standards of care and affect positive community change, but also to support each other as a cohesive team. Conifer’s admins communicate informally throughout the day to solve problems, collaborate, and brainstorm. We don’t see anything wrong with saying “I don’t know...but I’ll find out.”

We’re a group of hard-working, adaptable, and collaborative individuals with a deep respect for learning. We prioritize high-quality training for developing providers, both in their clinical knowledge, and in supporting their transition from students to professionals. Currently, our clinical staff is comprised of three licensed master’s level clinicians and three supervised associates in two clinic locations (Corvallis and Portland). We are recruiting to hire both more PC-As and CSW-As to build on the sense of having a “cohort” for our learners. In the past, we have also served as a practicum site for Pacific University, but this venture has been put on hold so we can focus on our associates for the time being.

As a small-but-growing establishment, we are looking for a dependable individual with a strong work ethic and organizational skills; someone with creativity and curiosity to help them solve problems and the ability to communicate their ideas; someone who can pivot; someone with good time management so they can really take advantage of the work/life balance we want for them.

The Clinical Director role includes a variety of tasks, including:

• Clinical work (approximately 14 to 16 completed appointments per week)
• Providing individual and group supervision for 3-6 Master’s level clinicians
• Providing OHA-mandated supervision of licensed clinicians (two hours per quarter per clinician, one hour of which can be group supervision)
• Overseeing general clinical operations and being available for informal consultations/clinical triaging during work hours, as needed
• Collaborating with admin staff on workflow, policies, and procedures
• Meeting with other clinical supervisors to discuss trainee performance and general consultation
• Acting as a liaison between clinicians and admin, to streamline communication
• Performing clinician reviews and providing clear, direct, and supportive feedback
• Conducting documentation quality assurance reviews
• Devising and participating in community outreach, as feasible

Applicants must have the following:

• An unencumbered license to practice clinical social work in the state of Oregon
• At least four years of independently licensed clinical experience
• At least two years of managerial experience (may be concurrent with clinical experience mentioned above)
• Clinical supervisor certifications from the Oregon Board of Clinical Social Workers and the Oregon Board of Licensed Professional Counselors & Therapists within 30 days of hire

Preferred applicants will have:

• Experience with writing policies and/or grants
• Familiarity with Certificate of Approval procedures through Oregon Health Authority
• Familiarity with Microsoft 365 programs (Outlook, Teams, SharePoint, etc.)
• Strengths in communication, collaboration, organization, time management, and problem solving
• A sense of camaraderie and humor is always appreciated too

Our benefits package provides a variety of perks, and it reflects our commitment to work/life balance for every employee. We currently offer:

• Health, vision, and dental insurance covered 100% for employees. We do our best to select the best possible insurance we can, meaning low deductibles and low out-out-pocket maximums. Our health insurance policy changes annually, of course, but it generally covers chiropractic, massage therapy, actupuncture, etc.
• • Insurance is covered 50% for dependents
• Malpractice insurance
• Four-day work weeks, however you want to set it up
• Hybrid work schedule, if desired
• • Both of our offices are situated in historic buildings with original features and lots of natural light. The buildings are both located downtown, surrounded by restaurants, shops, and various businesses. Coming to the office is not a hardship! The Portland location is ADA compliant, but the Corvallis office is not.
• No call
• No weekends or evenings
• HIPAA-compliant EHR
• 401(k) with company match
• Student loan assistance
• Four weeks of paid time off
• Paid holidays
• Parental leave
• CEU stipend, currently $1,000 annually
• Comprehensive office management support (billing, advertising, credentialing, etc. are taken care of for you!)
• Company laptop
• One-time office customization stipend, up to $500, to get you settled into your new space
• $90,000 to $98,000 annual salary, commensurate to experience and subject to increases

If this sounds like your kind of adventure, we would love to hear from you!
