Full-Time | In-Person | Cinnaminson, NJ
Monday–Friday | $68,000–$70,000 | No Weekends | No On-Call
You’re Already Doing the Work. Maybe It’s Time the Job Caught Up.
You’re the clinician people come to when they have a question.
You catch the documentation issue. You help the newer clinician. You know when something doesn’t look right. You’ve probably solved problems that technically weren’t yours to solve.
So here’s the question:
Are you ready for a role that actually recognizes that?
It Takes A Family (ITAF) is hiring a Senior Clinician / Clinical Lead for our Cinnaminson location.
This isn’t a “lead” position where you get a nicer title and 14 additional headaches.
It’s a defined next step for an experienced clinician who wants to keep doing meaningful clinical work while beginning to take real ownership of how a program operates and grows.
$68,000–$70,000 per year
Monday–Friday. No weekends. No on-call.
Caseload of approximately 25 clients
Weekly clinical supervision toward LCSW, LPC, or LMFT after probation included as part of your role
Dedicated administrative support for scheduling and documentation
Real leadership responsibility not “other duties as assigned” disguised as professional development
Health, dental, and life insurance + paid time off
And most importantly:
A defined path forward.
This Is More Than Carrying a Caseload.
You’ll still be a clinician. That matters.
Licensing & Compliance
Help set the clinical standard for documentation, regulatory compliance, licensing requirements, and quality. When something falls out of alignment, you help identify it and get it back on track.
Client Services
Help establish what excellent care should look like across the location not only for your own clients, but for the clinicians and programs around you.
Growth
Help build what comes next.
You’ll partner with leadership on new services, community relationships, referral development, and expanding ITAF’s reach including developing referral opportunities for the underserved Spanish speaking population in Salem/Cumberland/Burlington County.
There is real work to be done here, and we want someone who wants a hand in building it.
And Then There's What's Next.
Operations and Team Development - become part of your exposure and development from day one.
We don't believe leadership development means throwing everything at someone at once and seeing whether they survive.
Depth first. Then expand your leadership.
As your capabilities grow, so does your scope.
What Your Week Actually Looks Like
You'll:
- Carry a direct caseload of approximately 25 clients using CBT, DBT, and other evidence-based modalities.
- Help oversee documentation quality and clinical compliance.
- Partner with leadership on service design and program development.
- Participate in community outreach and referral development.
- Help identify gaps in services and opportunities for growth.
- Contribute to the development and launch of new mental health programming at the location.
- Develop as a clinical leader while receiving structured support and supervision.
Who We're Looking For
Required:
- Active New Jersey LSW, LAC, or LAMFT
- 5+ years of clinical mental health experience
- 2+ years of supervisory or lead experience
- Commitment to serving underserved and at-risk populations
This Job Probably Makes Sense for You If…
You’ve been doing senior-level work without senior-level recognition.
You’re working toward full licensure and want supervision built into your professional development instead of another bill you pay every month.
You want leadership responsibility but you don't want to stop being a clinician.
You’d rather do excellent work with a manageable caseload than spend your career chasing impossible volume.
And when someone says there’s “room to grow,” you’d prefer they actually be able to show you where you're growing.
We can.

Clinician Jobs in New Jersey: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a clinician in New Jersey?
The path depends on your clinical discipline, but most licensed clinician roles in New Jersey require a master's degree and a state-issued license from the New Jersey Division of Consumer Affairs. Licensed clinical social workers apply through the State Board of Social Work Examiners, licensed professional counselors through the State Board of Professional Counselors and Therapists, and psychologists through the State Board of Psychological Examiners. Each board requires supervised clinical hours and a passing score on the relevant national licensure exam before full licensure is granted.
Which companies hire clinicians in New Jersey?
Employers hiring clinicians in New Jersey right now include Rutgers University, Center For Family Services, and Empower U, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of August 2026. New Jersey's dense network of community mental health centers, federally qualified health centers, and large academic health systems means demand is distributed across both urban and suburban parts of the state.
Which New Jersey cities have the most clinician jobs?
The cities with the most clinician openings in New Jersey are Newark, Trenton, and Camden. That distribution reflects the concentration of large hospital systems and behavioral health networks in the Newark metro, the presence of state government and community health infrastructure in Trenton, and the academic medical anchor that Cooper University Health Care provides in Camden and the surrounding South Jersey region.
Are there remote clinician jobs in New Jersey?
Yes, but they are less common than in purely desk-based fields. About 15% of clinician openings tied to New Jersey are remote or hybrid as of August 2026, reflecting the growth of telehealth platforms that deliver behavioral health and counseling services. Outpatient therapy and care coordination roles are the most likely to offer fully remote or hybrid arrangements, while inpatient and community-based case management positions almost always require an on-site presence.
How can I get hired as a clinician in New Jersey with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry point is a post-graduate supervised internship or clinical residency at a community mental health center or federally qualified health center, both of which New Jersey has in abundance through networks like Horizon Health Centers and Greater Trenton Behavioral HealthCare. Many candidates move into staff clinician roles laterally from case manager or behavioral health technician positions held during their graduate training. A provisional license from the New Jersey Division of Consumer Affairs, which permits supervised practice while accumulating post-degree hours, gives candidates a concrete credential to lead with when applying to employers who sponsor supervision toward full licensure.
Where can I find and apply to clinician jobs in New Jersey?
You can find and apply to clinician jobs in New Jersey on Migrate Mate, which lists current New Jersey openings from employers actively hiring right now. Search the roles available, find the ones that match your license, specialty, and preferred setting, and apply directly to the ones that fit.
