Full Job Description
This Role

We are seeking a mission-driven Behavioral Health Supervisor to join our founding Raleigh team, leading our clinicians and deliveringwhole-person, trauma-informed care to individuals with substance use disorders. At Steadfast Health, we believe that clinicians shouldn't have to choose between patient-centered work and their own mental and financial wellbeing. That's why we're doing things differently, through an integrated, evidence-based behavioral health model that deeply supports both patients and clinicians. For our clinicians, that means compassionate, expert clinical support, competitive compensation, caseloads that prioritize quality over quantity and preserve time for recovery, generous and flexible time off policies, and financial investment in your ongoing professional development.

Base salary range: $80,000 - $95,000, plus monthly performance incentive of 5% of base salary, tied to clinic-level KPI attainment.

  • Conduct comprehensive biopsychosocial assessments and develop individualized treatment plans, modeling a non-paternalistic and destigmatizing approach to patient care.
  • Utilize evidence-based therapeutic modalities, such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), to support patient recovery.
  • Collaborate with all clinic-level team members to formulate and execute patient care plans, including Advanced Practice Providers, Medical Assistants, and Peer Recovery Specialists, ensuring integrated treatment approaches.
  • Support patients in crisis intervention situations and coordinate higher levels of care when necessary.
  • Maintain thorough and timely documentation in compliance with state, federal, and organizational guidelines.
  • Pioneer innovative ways of improving access and overall care for disadvantaged, marginalized populations.
  • Champion the company's mission by modeling compassion and fostering trust and strong relationships with patients and communities.
  • Educate patients and families on SUD, co-occurring disorders, and available resources to support sustained recovery and overall health.

  • Ability to effectively interact with diverse staff, patients, and community members.
  • Excellent interpersonal skills, a flexible, can-do mentality, and a commitment to continuous learning and professional development.
  • Passionate about Steadfast Health's mission to provide low-barrier, non-punitive, harm-reductionist SUD care.
