National Director Of Recruiting Jobs (NOW HIRING)

WHY THRIVE THERAPIES

Thrive Therapies Group is a tech-enabled pediatric healthcare company delivering specialized clinical care to children with disabilities and those facing barriers to access. We deliver our care where it changes outcomes fastest - inside the schools and districts where children spend their days - partnering directly with district leaders to integrate evidence-based services into the school day. Every clinician under our banner is part of a unified clinical model, accountable to a single national standard of care, working from a shared platform built specifically for the children we serve.

At the center of our model is Thrive Clinical, our purpose-built EHR designed from the ground up for pediatric clinical care in school settings. Thrive Clinical is not a generic documentation platform retrofitted for schools. It was built to track student progress, measure mastery gains, capture rich clinical data, and give providers and leaders real-time insight into whether kids are actually getting better. It is the operational backbone of everything we do, and it gets smarter as the clinicians and leaders using it push it forward.

We are growing rapidly because the need is staggering and largely unmet. Across the country, children with IEPs are waiting months for evaluations, going without required services, and falling further behind because districts cannot find or sustain the clinical talent to support them. Existing options are not meeting the depth or breadth of what children, families, and schools actually need. We are building the alternative: a clinically excellent, technology-enabled care model designed to scale without compromising the quality of care any individual child receives.

The National Director of RSP Clinical Excellence Clinical Excellence is the architect of that standard.

THE ROLE 

This is not a supervisory role in the traditional sense. The National Director of RSP Clinical Excellence Clinical Excellence is a senior leadership position responsible for defining, building, and driving Thrive's national standard of practice across school psychology and educational diagnostics. You are not managing a single region. You are setting the clinical bar that every Thrive school psychologist is measured against, in every school, in every state, across every market we operate or will operate.

Reporting to the Chief Clinical Officer, you will lead and develop the layer of Clinical Supervisors who deliver high-touch supervision to clinical fellows, CFY-year SLPs, and tiered providers across our regional markets. They are the coaches on the ground. You are the one who decides what they are coaching toward. You build the playbook. You establish the benchmarks. You define what excellence looks like at Thrive nationally, and you make sure it holds consistently across a footprint that spans the country and is growing by the month.

Because we own our clinical platform, you will also serve as a primary clinical voice in the evolution of Thrive Clinical, partnering closely with product and engineering to shape how the platform measures, supports, and accelerates excellent care. This is not a courtesy seat at the table. You will own clinical requirements for defined areas of the product roadmap.

This role requires approximately 50% travel across Thrive's national markets, concentrated around summer intensives, site launches, supervisor onboarding, and targeted in-person work with partner districts. The work happens in schools, in districts, and alongside the teams delivering care across the country.

WHO YOU ARE

• A fully licensed SLP, OT, or PT with deep credibility in your home discipline and the humility to lead across all three, supported by senior practitioners and the CCO where you need discipline-specific depth

• A clinical leader who has already managed clinicians across multiple sites or multiple states, and who is ready to take a national footprint as the next logical scope

• A standard-setter who thinks in systems: you see a gap in diagnostic practice and your first instinct is to build the protocol, the supervision framework, or the dashboard that closes it permanently - and you can show us the artifacts of work you have already done at this scope

• A leader of leaders, comfortable managing a layer of Clinical Supervisors rather than coaching every clinician yourself, and confident holding that layer accountable to a national bar

• Data-fluent and outcomes-oriented: you measure success in accurate identifications, appropriate placements, compliance rates, supervisor performance, district NPS, and clinician retention - not in evaluation hours logged or referrals processed

• Fluent in IDEA Part B, state SPED variation, Medicaid billing for school-based services, and the regulatory texture of running clinical operations across multiple states

• Comfortable holding clinical excellence and operational accountability in the same hand, across multiple states and service lines, without dropping either

• Deeply invested in the evolution of Thrive Clinical as a purpose-built tool for kids in schools: you are not just a user of the platform, you are a driver of what it becomes, bringing the clinical insight that makes it more powerful over time

• An operator with an entrepreneurial mindset who reads a growing national footprint as an invitation to build something lasting, not as a reason to wait for more certainty

• Hungry to learn, including how AI, data tooling, and a purpose-built EHR can make your national team measurably more effective, consistent, and focused on what matters most: kids making real progress

• Driven by mission: you measure success in student outcomes, mastery gains, provider growth, and the quality of care delivered in schools across the country that every child deserves

WHAT YOU'LL OWN

Set and Own the National Clinical Standard

• Define Thrive's national framework for psychoeducational assessment and eligibility determination, setting the standard for how school psychologists across every market select instruments, conduct evaluations, and document findings

• Build and maintain the clinical frameworks, supervision protocols, and practice standards that Clinical Supervisors implement with their supervisee populations across all regions

• Ensure that what excellent care looks like at Thrive is documented, measurable, and consistently applied regardless of geography, district, or state

• Ensure that Thrive's diagnostic standards account for the full range of student backgrounds, including English language learners, students with complex or co-occurring profiles, and students from diverse cultural and linguistic communities

Lead and Develop Clinical Supervisors Nationally

• Serve as the direct clinical authority above Clinical Supervisors, who deliver high-touch supervision to clinical fellows, CFY-year providers, and performance-flagged providers across assigned national markets

• Build the supervision model that scales from one Clinical Supervisor today to a national team across dozens of markets in two years - including hiring criteria, supervisor onboarding, the supervisor playbook, and the cadence that holds them accountable

• Set the coaching agenda nationally: your Clinical Supervisors implement your standards, and you ensure they have the frameworks, tools, and direction to do that consistently whether they are in Tennessee, Washington, Florida, or any market we expand into

• Coach the coaches: build your Clinical Supervisor layer as your most important product, owning their development, succession planning, and bench

• Make readiness and advancement decisions in collaboration with Clinical Supervisors and regional leads using Thrive Clinical data and the structured performance criteria you define

Drive Thrive Clinical Adoption, Fidelity, and Evolution

• Own Thrive Clinical as the operational expression of the national diagnostic model: set the standards for how it is used, what it measures, and how its data informs clinical decisions at every level of the organization

• Establish the platform benchmarks Clinical Supervisors and providers are held to, and use system-wide data to identify where the standard is holding and where it is not across all markets

• Partner directly with product and engineering as the named clinical owner for defined areas of the roadmap, bringing the frontline clinical insight that shapes how the platform evolves

• Champion Thrive Clinical not as a documentation tool but as a strategic asset for innovation, using its data to surface patterns, raise the bar, and identify what is possible in school-based care

Protect Clinical Quality at National Scale

• Monitor clinical compliance, IEP timelines, evaluation fidelity, and delivery mode quality across all RSP markets

• Build the early-warning systems that surface quality risk before it becomes a quality failure, and escalate proactively

• Coordinate across SLP, OT, and PT service lines to ensure a cohesive, whole-child model of support is delivered consistently across every Thrive site

• Own the multi-state regulatory landscape for RSP clinical operations, partnering with operations and compliance on Medicaid billing, IDEA Part B requirements, and state SPED variation

Lead National Professional Development

• Design and drive the PD infrastructure for school psychologists nationally, ensuring content is grounded in Thrive's diagnostic framework and evidence-based practice, not generic continuing education

• Build PD that cascades from national standards down through Clinical Supervisors to individual providers, so every clinician at every site is growing in the same direction

• Lead summer intensives, site visits, and targeted in-person engagement with partners, supervisors, and providers across all Thrive markets

Serve as Thrive's Senior School Psychology Voice Nationally

• Represent Thrive's school psychology model and diagnostic standards in key district and school partner relationships across the country, communicating the depth and rigor of our approach to evaluation and eligibility

• Support onboarding of new national partnerships by establishing clinical expectations early and building the infrastructure to sustain them as Thrive continues to expand

• Clinical Supervisor performance and retention

• Clinician quality scores and retention within RSP
