Clinical Supervisor (LCSW/LMFT)

About the role

This search is a little different for us. At Signal & Strand, we believe the best work we do is not always measured by revenue. While much of our work focuses on helping organizations build exceptional teams and leadership capabilities, we occasionally take on select searches on a pro bono basis for organizations whose missions we deeply believe in. This is one of those searches. We are partnered with a leading nonprofit organization serving women experiencing homelessness on the search for a Clinical Supervisor (LCSW/LMFT). Reporting to the Clinical Director, this individual will provide clinical leadership, supervision, and oversight across behavioral health programs, including a Trauma Recovery Center serving women navigating complex challenges related to trauma, mental health, substance use, and housing instability. This is an opportunity for a licensed clinician who is passionate about developing other clinicians, strengthening trauma-informed service delivery, and ensuring high-quality care for one of Los Angeles' most vulnerable populations. The Clinical Supervisor will oversee a team of four clinicians, with an additional opening planned, and will assume responsibility for both individual and group supervision immediately upon joining the organization. The Mandate This organization is seeking a leader who can balance empathy with accountability. The team is comprised of dedicated clinicians doing important work in a complex environment. What is needed now is a supervisor who can support, coach, and develop staff while also establishing clear expectations around documentation, performance, and clinical excellence. Documentation quality and timeliness are critical priorities for this team. The ideal candidate will be comfortable holding the line on standards, addressing gaps directly, and creating systems that help clinicians stay on track without sacrificing quality of care. This is not a role with a direct client caseload. Instead, the focus is on supervision, leadership, staff development, program oversight, and ensuring clinicians have the support and structure they need to be successful. Success in this role will require strong clinical judgment, experience managing performance and accountability, and the ability to develop clinicians into stronger practitioners and future leaders. The organization places a significant emphasis on promoting from within and investing in leadership development, creating meaningful opportunities for long-term growth and advancement.
