Job description

Salary:

Postpartum Wellnessis a rapidly growing group counseling practice that provides maternal mental health services throughout Virginia, Maryland, Washington, DC, Florida, and Texas. We support women, their partners, and family members while trying to conceive, during pregnancy loss, depression or anxiety during/after pregnancy, and birth trauma. Our dedicated team of clinicians strive to empower women during their transitions into motherhood.


Postpartum Wellness is looking to hire Social Work Supervisees to provide therapeutic services to pregnant and postpartum women throughout Virginia, Maryland or DC while obtaining clinical supervision toward professional licensure. To qualify, applicants must have a Master's degree in social work from an approved program.


Our part-time and full-time Social Work Supervisee positions have the option of being remote. Postpartum Wellness provides a flexible work schedule. Social work Supervisee applicants must be seeking supervision for the purpose of acquiring the supervision hours leading to eligibility to take the licensure examination.


Supervision


The supervisor-supervisee relationship is a unique one, in which there is openness and trust on both sides.


Postpartum Wellness will provide Social Work Supervisees with a licensed clinical social worker who will offer clinical supervision until independent licensure in Virginia, DC, or Maryland is met. The Social Work Supervisee will be responsible for compensating their clinical supervisor for supervision hours. The clinical supervision rate is $100.00 for individual supervision and $50.00 for group supervision. The cost is paid directly from the Social Work Supervisee to their clinical supervisor.


Supervision is an ongoing and evolving process to enhance clinical and professional skills, knowledge, and attitudes. Emphasis is placed on mastering competency in clinical skills and increasing your identity as a future Licensed Clinical Social Worker. Knowing that each person's learning style is unique, we offer diverse supervision styles that merge drawing on the psychodynamic and attachment models, cognitive-behavioral model, and relational and developmental models.


Qualifications:


  • Masters degree in social work
  • Committed to providing quality maternal mental health services
  • Desire to be a part of a positive work environment


Responsibilities:


  • 1:1 psychotherapy with options for couples, groups, and family therapy, in addition to public speaking, mentorship, supervision, advocacy, and leadership.
  • Complete comprehensive psychosocial assessments and treatment plans with proper documentation.
  • Meet with the clinical supervisor every week for clinical supervision.


Perks:


  • Flexible Schedule
  • Administration Support
  • Appointment scheduling is streamlined through phone, email, or online
  • Multifunctional electronic health record (EHR) software
  • Comprehensive billing services


Compensation:


  • Postpartum Wellness uses an Incentive Pay Structure for hourly compensation for individual therapy.
  • Social Work Supervisees receive additional compensation for leading and/or co-leading groups.
  • Social Work Supervisees receive additional compensation for attending monthly case consultation meetings and quarterly staff meetings.


We are looking for Social Work Supervisees who are passionate and want to provide individual and/or couples counseling within a maternal mental health environment. Postpartum Wellness has created an environment where each clinician can grow and explore their personal passions yet have a supportive team where we work together to make a difference in our communities. We believe that your work environment should be fun, challenging, and inspiring. We are looking to hire pre-licensed clinicians who are positive and who are ready to inspire their co-workers, their clients, and their communities. We look forward to you being part of our Postpartum Wellness team.



We will be conducting virtual interviews.
