LCSW REQUIRED | FULL-TIME CLINICAL & SUPERVISORY POSITION-IN PERSON-NOT REMOTE
AZ Center for Change (AZCFC) is seeking an experienced Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) to join our clinical team in a unique role that combines direct clinical practice with clinical leadership and supervision.
This position is designed for an experienced clinician who enjoys continuing to work directly with clients while also helping other clinicians develop their skills and grow professionally.
The Clinical Lead will maintain an active caseload while providing clinical supervision to associate-licensed and unlicensed behavioral health clinicians. This is not primarily an administrative management position. The focus is clinical practice, supervision, consultation, clinician development, and maintaining high standards of clinical care.
What You'll Do
Provide Clinical Services
- Maintain an active caseload and provide individual, family, and/or group counseling services.
- Conduct behavioral health assessments and develop individualized treatment plans.
- Utilize evidence-based approaches appropriate to client needs.
- Maintain timely, high-quality clinical documentation.
- Coordinate care with other providers and community professionals as appropriate.
Provide Clinical Supervision & Leadership
- Provide clinical supervision toward independent licensure to assigned associate-licensed clinicians in accordance with Arizona Board of Behavioral Health Examiners requirements.
- Provide clinical oversight, consultation, and professional development to licensed and unlicensed clinicians.
- Assist clinicians with case conceptualization, treatment planning, ethical decision-making, risk assessment, documentation, and management of clinically complex cases.
- Review clinical documentation and provide meaningful feedback to strengthen clinical quality and clinician competency.
- Support the clinical onboarding and development of new clinicians.
- Participate in group supervision, case consultation, clinical training, and quality-improvement activities.
- Serve as an accessible clinical resource when clinicians need guidance between scheduled supervision sessions.
What We're Looking For
This position requires someone who is not only an experienced therapist, but who genuinely enjoys teaching, mentoring, and developing other clinicians.
The ideal candidate is approachable and supportive while maintaining strong professional and clinical standards. They should be comfortable giving constructive feedback, addressing clinical concerns directly, and helping less-experienced clinicians develop confidence and sound clinical judgment.
We are particularly interested in someone who values evidence-based practice, enjoys discussing challenging cases, and views clinical supervision as an important professional responsibility rather than simply an administrative requirement.
Required Qualifications
- Master's degree in Social Work from an accredited program.
- Current Arizona LCSW in good standing.
- Meets Arizona requirements to provide clinical supervision toward independent licensure, or is able to meet those requirements upon hire.
- Strong clinical assessment, case conceptualization, treatment planning, and psychotherapy skills.
- Experience providing clinical supervision, consultation, training, or mentorship.
- Strong knowledge of ethical practice, clinical documentation, risk assessment, and client safety.
- Ability to effectively supervise clinicians with varying levels of experience and professional development needs.
- Strong written and verbal communication skills.
- Ability to maintain an active clinical caseload while managing scheduled supervision and clinical leadership responsibilities.
This is a full-time clinical leadership position, with work time divided between direct client services and clinical supervision/leadership responsibilities. The Clinical Lead maintains an active caseload with an expectation of approximately75-80% of time devoted to direct service. Remaining scheduled time is dedicated to clinical supervision, consultation, documentation review, clinician development, training, meetings, and other clinical quality activities.
The Clinical Lead works collaboratively with the Clinic Operations Manager.
Why Join AZ Center for Change?
AZCFC provides the opportunity to remain actively engaged in clinical practice while taking on a meaningful leadership role within an established behavioral health organization.
For an experienced LCSW who enjoys supervision, this position provides the opportunity to influence clinical practice beyond an individual caseload by helping newer clinicians become stronger, more confident practitioners.
If you are an experienced Arizona LCSW who enjoys both providing therapy and helping other clinicians grow, we would like to hear from you.

Clinical Lead Jobs in Arizona: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a clinical lead in Arizona?
To become a clinical lead in Arizona, you typically need an active license from the Arizona State Board of Nursing or the relevant Arizona licensing board for your discipline, plus a bachelor's degree in your clinical field. Most Arizona employers also expect a background in a specialty area such as behavioral health, acute care, or oncology before moving into a lead role. Pursuing a charge nurse or senior clinician position first is the most common stepping stone.
Which companies hire clinical leads in Arizona?
Employers hiring clinical leads in Arizona right now include Tucson Medical Center, American Heart Association, and Northwest Medical Center, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of August 2026. Arizona's concentration of large integrated health systems and behavioral health providers means clinical lead openings are distributed across both urban medical campuses and community care settings throughout the state.
Which Arizona cities have the most clinical lead jobs?
Tucson, Phoenix, and Mesa account for the most clinical lead openings in Arizona. Phoenix dominates due to the density of major hospital systems and corporate health headquarters in the metro, while Tucson and Scottsdale generate steady demand through regional medical centers, specialty clinics, and the behavioral health sector that has grown significantly across the southern and east Valley areas.
Are there remote clinical lead jobs in Arizona?
Yes, but they're rare. Clinical lead roles are predominantly on-site because they involve direct supervision of care teams and hands-on oversight of patient-facing operations. About 20% of clinical lead openings tied to Arizona are remote or hybrid as of August 2026, which is below average for professional roles. The parts of the position most likely to allow remote work are administrative duties, documentation review, and quality improvement coordination.
How can I get hired as a clinical lead in Arizona with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is moving into a charge nurse or senior clinician role first, then transitioning to a lead position once you have demonstrated team coordination experience. Banner Health and Valleywise Health both run residency and new-graduate programs in Arizona that place candidates in specialty units where lead openings develop. Building experience in behavioral health or outpatient settings is especially useful in Arizona given local hiring patterns, and obtaining your Arizona clinical license early keeps you competitive from day one.
Where can I find and apply to clinical lead jobs in Arizona?
You can find and apply to clinical lead jobs in Arizona on Migrate Mate, which lists current Arizona openings from employers actively hiring. Search the available roles, find ones that match your experience and preferred location, and apply directly to the ones that fit.
