Intensive In-Home (IIH) Professional Team Lead

At Appalachian Community Services (ACS), an ncgCARE partner, we are on a mission to transform lives through community-based mental health and family services. As part of our commitment to supporting youth and families across Western North Carolina, we’re looking for an experienced and passionate Intensive In-Home Team Lead to join our team.

You'll help guide a dedicated team of clinicians to deliver care that is solution-focused, strength-based, and family-driven.

If you're ready to lead with heart, empower with purpose, and help children and families build better futures, we want to hear from you.

• Conduct and oversee client assessments to determine clinical needs, service scope, and anticipated outcomes.

• Monitor and evaluate interventions, services, and client progress to support positive treatment outcomes.
• Provide clinical supervision and guidance to all team members, ensuring adherence to best practices and individual supervision plans.
• Ensure compliance with service documentation standards, including reviewing and approving service notes and PCPs.
• Lead regular team meetings to discuss client progress, interventions, and team challenges.
• Facilitate crisis response and linkage to additional services as needed to ensure comprehensive client care.
• Travel within the service area and maintain a flexible schedule to meet the needs of clients and the team.

• Master’s degree in Social Work, Mental Health Counseling, Marriage & Family Counseling or a closely related field.
• Full licensure or Associate licensed as LCSW, LCSWA, LCMHC, LCMHCA, LMAFT, LMFT or equivalent (required).
• Reliable personal vehicle for community and in-home visits
• Deep understanding of child, adolescent, and family mental health
• A collaborative, strengths-based approach to client care
