Part Time Remote Bilingual Jobs in Chicago, IL (NOW HIRING)

Remote | Illinois License Required | Part-Time or Full-Time

At Backpack Healthcare, we believe every child and family deserves access to high-quality, culturally responsive mental health care. We provide virtual behavioral health services to children, teens, and young adults - covered by most insurance.

We're growing across Illinois, and Spanish-speaking families are looking for clinicians who understand their language, culture, and experiences.

If you're a bilingual therapist who believes culturally responsive care isn't an added benefit - it's essential to effective care - we'd love to have you join us.

As a Licensed Mental Health Therapist, you'll provide compassionate, trauma-informed care through telehealth while partnering with families to support meaningful, lasting change.

You'll manage a caseload of 15-36 sessions per week, with the flexibility to choose part-time or full-time.

Your day-to-day will include:

• Conducting clinical intakes and assessments
• Developing client-centered, trauma-informed treatment plans
• Providing individual, family, and group therapy via telehealth
• Collaborating with therapists, PMHNPs, psychiatrists, and other members of our interdisciplinary team
• Maintaining timely and accurate documentation in our EHR
• Providing family education and care coordination
• Delivering culturally responsive care that recognizes each family's unique needs and experiences

Scheduling: Most clinicians work weekday afternoons and evenings, typically 2:00-9:00 PM EST. Weekend availability is a plus.

We want our clinicians to feel supported, valued, and empowered to grow.

• $45-$65 per billable hour, based on license level
• Monthly bonus opportunities for eligible clinicians based on applicable productivity and performance criteria
• Medical, dental, and vision insurance for full-time employees
• 401(k) with 3% company match
• Paid time off
• $300 annual CEU reimbursement
• Free clinical supervision for LMSW/LPC roles
• $25,000 company-paid life insurance
• Employee Assistance Program
• Clinical leadership opportunities, including our Residency & Fellowship Program
• Fully remote work

Eligible clinicians have the opportunity to earn an additional monthly performance-based bonus based on applicable productivity and performance criteria. It's another way Backpack recognizes clinicians who consistently deliver high-quality care while meeting established expectations.

We're looking for compassionate clinicians who are passionate about helping children, teens, and families thrive.

Required:

• Active Illinois license: LPC, LCPC, LMSW, or LCSW
• Experience working with children, adolescents, and families
• Ability to work independently and effectively in a remote environment
• Strong clinical judgment and communication skills
• Commitment to trauma-informed care

Strongly Preferred:

• Bilingual English/Spanish fluency
• Experience providing culturally responsive care to Spanish-speaking families

Since 2020, we've supported 12,000+ children and families through accessible, virtual behavioral healthcare.

And we're focused on outcomes: 78% of families report that their child is doing better after three months of care.

But our work isn't just about numbers.

It's about helping a child feel understood. Helping a parent feel supported. And making sure families don't have to choose between quality care and care that understands who they are.

When clinicians thrive, kids thrive. That's not just a tagline - it's how we build.

If you're passionate about accessible, culturally responsive mental health care - and especially if you can provide care in both English and Spanish - we'd love to meet you.
