This Work Matters. So Do You.
In behavioral health, it's easy to focus only on the people receiving care.
At Wellbeing Alliance, we believe the people providing care deserve care too. Not in a surface-level way, but in how we structure schedules, create space for development, build community, and protect sustainability. When the people doing the work feel supported, the work gets stronger.
We are a DBHDS-licensed provider of Community Stabilization and Mental Health IOP services serving Richmond, VA and surrounding counties. Many of our clients have experienced homelessness, grief, trauma, hospitalization, or major loss. We're growing, with residential services planned for 2027, and we're building the clinical leadership to carry that growth with integrity.
We're looking for an experienced Clinical Director who wants to lead with intention: with steady supervision, sound clinical judgment, and pride in the standard of care.
What This Role Includes
Clinical Leadership
Remote | Flexible | Up to 10 Hours a Month | Reliable Availability
Our clinicians manage their routine responsibilities with the support of program leadership. As Clinical Director, you own the clinical oversight layer: you set our clinical standards, provide active supervision and trusted consultation, and give the higher-level guidance that keeps our care strong.
You will:
- Set the clinical standards for our services, including expectations for documentation quality, risk assessment, safety planning, and level-of-care decisions
- Provide active clinical supervision and case consultation to clinicians across Community Stabilization and MH-IOP
- Create a consistent space for clinicians to discuss cases, strengthen clinical judgment, and receive guidance
- Attend our weekly Care Team meeting virtually
- Be available by phone when clinical questions or higher-acuity situations arise, with same-day response to client clinical emergencies
- Provide clinical guidance regarding admissions, continued stay, level of care, and complex client presentations
- Provide some clinical review and sign-off on individualized service plans, charts, and other clinical documentation
- Oversee higher-acuity Community Stabilization cases and determine when additional clinical support or LMHP involvement is appropriate
- Partner with our MH-IOP Clinical Lead on cases requiring higher-level clinical guidance
- Guide clinical quality in line with DBHDS and DMAS requirements
- Support clinical readiness for licensing and accreditation
- Participate in focused clinical case review and supervision meetings
- Offer consultation as we build our residential behavioral health services
Where Your Time Goes
Your time is focused on clinical standards, oversight, supervision, and consultation. Program operations, groups, and day-to-day documentation workflows are led by our operations team, so your expertise goes where it matters most.
Compensation & Growth
The position begins at a $2,000 monthly retainer, which includes up to 10 hours per month of active clinical leadership (setting standards, supervision, case consultation, record review, meetings, and other substantive clinical work), along with availability for clinical consultation and client clinical emergencies.
Additional time, when approved in advance, is paid at $100 per hour.
This role is designed to grow with us. As our census and acuity increase and we add new programs, groups, and residential services, the scope, time commitment, and compensation will grow too. We'll review them together at least every six months, so the role keeps pace with the work.
For a clinician who wants to help build a continuum of care from the ground up, this is a chance to shape the clinical foundation of an agency as it expands, and to grow into a larger leadership role as it does.
Why People Stay Here
We believe sustainability matters in this field.
Self-Care Stipend
$300 after six months and $600 after one year, because taking care of yourself is part of the work.
Sabbatical Eligibility
After one year, contractors are eligible for a paid self-care sabbatical. Longevity requires rest.
Lunch & Learns
Each month, we gather for Lunch & Learns: intentional sessions focused on leadership, communication, professional growth, and practical skills that strengthen both your work and your confidence.
Flexibility With Structure
A remote, flexible commitment that fits alongside a private practice or other work. Your role, expectations, and team rhythm stay clear, and communication is direct.
A Culture of Allies
We value accountability, steady communication, and documentation integrity. We believe quality care and professional standards go hand in hand.
What We're Looking For
Required:
- Active Virginia license as a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) or Licensed Mental Health Professional (LMHP)
- Clinical supervision and risk assessment experience
- Professional liability insurance (or willingness to obtain)
Especially valued:
- Community-based behavioral health services
- Community Stabilization and/or crisis services
- Mental Health IOP or other structured outpatient services
- Higher-acuity behavioral health populations
- DBHDS and DMAS requirements
- Residential behavioral health services
Experience across multiple levels of care is strongly preferred as we continue to expand our continuum of services.

Tips for Your Remote Clinical Director Job Search
Apply early to remote roles that fit
Migrate Mate lists remote clinical director openings from across the U.S. in one place, so you can find roles that match your background and apply directly without sorting through listings that require on-site work.
Demonstrate async leadership in your application
Remote clinical director hiring screens hard for written communication. Use your cover letter and any take-home materials to show you can direct clinical staff, resolve issues, and drive decisions without real-time meetings as your default.
Highlight multi-state or distributed team experience
Remote employers in telehealth and managed care prioritize candidates who have led clinical operations across geographies. Call out any experience overseeing staff or programs in more than one location, even if the role wasn't formally remote.
Prepare for competency-based remote interviews
Remote clinical director interviews often include scenario questions about managing underperforming clinicians or quality issues without physical presence. Practice structured answers that show how you use data, documentation, and digital tools to lead outcomes from a distance.
Remote Clinical Director Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get a remote clinical director job?
Remote clinical directors are hired most often by telehealth companies, behavioral health platforms, managed care organizations, and distributed health systems that operate across multiple states. Remote employers screen heavily for self-direction, clear async written communication, and the ability to lead clinical teams without in-person oversight. Candidates who can show cross-functional remote leadership, experience with virtual care delivery, and comfort with EHR platforms and video conferencing tools have a clear edge.
Which companies hire remote clinical directors?
Employers currently hiring remote clinical directors include CVS Health, Action Behavior Centers - ABA Therapy for Autism, and Enhabit Home Health & Hospice, per current remote listings on Migrate Mate as of September 2026. Remote-first telehealth firms, behavioral health networks, and managed care organizations account for the largest share of these openings.
Can you get a remote clinical director job with no experience?
Yes, but remote entry-level clinical director roles are harder to land because employers expect you to operate independently from day one without in-person mentorship. Telehealth startups and growing behavioral health platforms are the most likely to consider candidates with limited director experience. Showing strong async communication, documented clinical outcomes from prior roles, and familiarity with remote care tools can open the door when a traditional title history is thin.
Do you need a degree for remote clinical director jobs?
Usually, yes. Most remote clinical director roles require at least a master's degree in a clinical field, and many in behavioral health or managed care expect licensure alongside it. That said, remote employers weigh demonstrated clinical leadership, measurable program outcomes, and experience managing distributed teams heavily alongside credentials, especially at organizations that have grown quickly through telehealth expansion.
Which industries hire the most remote clinical directors?
Most remote clinical director openings sit in Insurance, Biotechnology & Pharmaceuticals, and Science & Research, per current remote listings on Migrate Mate as of September 2026. These sectors rely on distributed clinical teams serving patients or members across multiple states, making remote director-level oversight a structural need rather than a perk.
