Social Work Program Coordinator

The Neighborhood Clinic (NC), a free urgent care clinic, is seeking a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) to serve as Social Work & Mental Health Program Coordinator (SWPC). This is a unique opportunity for a motivated self-starter to take ownership of two growing programs, the Social Work Program and the Mental Health Program, with significant autonomy to shape their direction and impact. This position works directly with other clinic staff to meet the needs of our patients. A good candidate would be energized by the challenge of building something meaningful and have the desire to bridge the gap between vulnerable community members and the resources they need. The SWPC reports directly to the Executive Director.

Work Schedule & Flexibility

This is a hybrid position designed for work-life balance. The SWPC works at least two days per week on-site at the clinic (Monday and Thursday evenings, 4–9 PM), participates in community outreach events, and otherwise works remotely. This structure offers meaningful in-person community connection alongside the flexibility of a partial work-from-home schedule.
