ACCOUNTABLE TO: Operations Manager 2
Client Service Location Expectations:
Regardless of which option you choose below, the majority of assigned clients will reside in community-based group homes. Clients who do not reside in a group home may be seen in your assigned community-based office, at the company's main office, or via telehealth-provided that either you or the client is physically located at one of these approved sites during the service.
Caseload Makeup:
• 6 Category A clients to be serviced at community based meeting room 1723 Gwynns Falls Parkway, Baltimore, MD 21217
• 4 other than Category A clients to be serviced in the community or at 3310 Eastern Avenue, Baltimore, MD 21224
OPTION 1: 1099 INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR VERSION
(For individuals or businesses offering services independently)
Scope of Service: Co-Occurring Disorder Counselor - Independent Contractor
CLASSIFICATION: Contract Position (1099). Fee-for-service.
DISCLOSURE - MULTI-ENTITY CONTRACTOR ROLE:
This 1099 Independent Contractor role for a Co-Occurring Disorder Counselor includes responsibilities that span across the following two organizations, all operating under shared leadership:
• FOCUS #1: Lighthouse Behavioral Health Center
• FOCUS #2: Community Wellness Outpatient Mental Health Center
As an independent contractor, you will maintain separate contractual agreements with each organization. You will invoice and receive compensation separately from each entity based on the time worked and services delivered for their respective programs. This means you are not an employee of any of the entities and are instead engaged as a self-employed contractor for each.
Though the contactor is paid on a fee for service basis and not an hourly basis, the services will require approximately 40 hours per week in to render assigned services as scheduled over 5 days, with an estimated one-half of the services rendered allocated to each organization. While day-to-day scheduling and care coordination may be managed collaboratively to support continuity across programs, each organization retains responsibility for its own scope of work, compliance requirements, and payment processes.
As a 1099 contractor, you are responsible for your own taxes, benefits, and liability coverage, and you must adhere to all contractual terms and professional licensing requirements relevant to each organization.
Overview
Generally, assigned clients will reside in community based group homes.

We are seeking a qualified and licensed Co-Occurring Disorder Counselor to provide outpatient substance use disorder treatment services on an independent contractor basis.
