This is an opportunity for a clinician who enjoys meaningful, relationship-based work and wants to support women as they build stability, strengthen their families, and move forward in recovery.

• Work collaboratively with clinical, direct-care, medical, and program staff to provide coordinated, trauma-informed care.
• Build positive working relationships with community providers and referral partners.
• Maintain compliance with licensing, credentialing, documentation, confidentiality, and quality-assurance requirements.
• Support Sojourner House's mission, values, and commitment to providing compassionate, family-centered recovery services.

• Master's degree from an accredited college or university in Social Work, Counseling, Psychology, Chemical Dependency, Nursing with an appropriate clinical specialty, or a related human-services field.
• Minimum of two years of experience in behavioral health, substance use treatment, mental health, or related human services.

• Strong interpersonal, written, and verbal communication skills.
• Strong organization, documentation, and time-management skills.
• Ability to work effectively as part of a multidisciplinary team.
• Cultural humility and the ability to work respectfully with individuals and families from diverse backgrounds.
• Ability to maintain confidentiality and comply with applicable HIPAA and substance use disorder confidentiality requirements.
• Valid driver's license and ability to transport residents in an agency vehicle, including a 12-passenger van, when needed.
• Ability to obtain required Act 33/34 and FBI clearances following a contingent offer of employment.

• Pennsylvania LSW, LCSW, LPC, or other applicable clinical credential.
• Certification or specialized experience in substance use disorder treatment.
• Familiarity with ASAM criteria, DDAP regulations, trauma-informed care, and residential treatment.
• Experience working with women, families, or individuals involved with child welfare or family court systems.

This is a full-time position. The primary schedule will be established based on program and client needs. Some flexibility and occasional nontraditional hours may be required to ensure clients have access to appropriate clinical services.

Sojourner House provides residential substance use disorder treatment to women who may reside onsite with their children. The Therapist works directly with individuals who may have complex behavioral health, medical, family, and social-service needs.

The position may require:

• Moving throughout the residential facility, including climbing stairs.
• Meeting with clients within and outside of the facility when clinically appropriate.
• Occasional transportation of clients.
• Occasional lifting or carrying of items weighing less than 10 pounds and, on occasion, assisting with a child weighing up to approximately 35 pounds.

• Successful completion of required pre-employment clearances and screenings.
• Annual TB testing as required, with applicable employer reimbursement.
• Completion of required organizational and regulatory training following hire.
• Compliance with Sojourner House safety, confidentiality, and Drug-Free Workplace policies.

At Sojourner House, therapists have the opportunity to do more than provide a clinical session—they become part of a team helping women strengthen their recovery, their parenting, and their ability to build a healthier future for themselves and their children.

We value clinicians who bring compassion, professionalism, good judgment, and a genuine commitment to helping families succeed.
