Clinical Site Lead

Brick House Recovery is hiring a Clinical Site Lead to provide day-to-day clinical operational leadership at our Idaho Falls outpatient location, while continuing to carry a meaningful clinical caseload. This is a “working leader” role, ideal for a strong clinician who wants to grow into clinical operations and future clinical director–level leadership.

You’ll be the on-site anchor for your team: managing schedules, coordinating care, supporting peers, and solving problems in real time, all under close mentorship from our Clinical Director.

Key Responsibilities

Operational Leadership (about 20%)

• Serve as the primary point person for daily clinical operations at your site
• Manage schedules, coverage, and same-day adjustments
• Coordinate with Admissions on new client placement and intake flow
• Help resolve peer issues, staffing conflicts, and urgent operational concerns
• Onboard new clinicians to the building, team rhythms, and local culture
• Keep the Clinical Director informed on issues impacting client care, staffing, or experience

Clinical Practice (about 80%)

• Maintain a regular clinical caseload appropriate to your credential
• Provide individual, group, and family therapy
• Implement Brick House Press curriculum
• Meet documentation standards (e.g., progress notes within 24 hours, treatment plans and discharges within set timeframes)
• Participate in interdisciplinary treatment planning and coordinate with outside providers, probation, hospitals, and community partners

Team, Culture & Quality

• Communicate direction from the Clinical Director and Chief Clinical Officer in a way that “lands” with the team
• Surface team concerns, friction points, and ideas to leadership
• Support new hires during onboarding and integration into the clinical culture
• Model Brick House clinical voice, ethics, and communication standards
• Support documentation timeliness and quality; flag issues to the Clinical Director
• Participate in incident response, debriefing, and documentation as needed
• Help ensure adherence to Idaho DHW rules, CARF, HIPAA, 42 CFR Part 2, and ASAM criteria

Leadership Development

• Engage in weekly 1:1 mentorship with the Clinical Director
• Participate in leadership development offerings (Traction / EOS-style execution, leadership readings, internal trainings)
• Grow into increased operational autonomy and broader leadership responsibilities over time

Decision-Making Scope

You will independently manage:

• Daily schedule and coverage at your site
• Peer-level coordination and local operational adjustments
• Client logistics and day-to-day site rhythms

You will partner with the Clinical Director on:

• Complex clinical/treatment decisions
• Performance concerns and changes to documentation or treatment protocols
• Changes affecting more than your site

You will escalate to the Clinical Director:

• Clinical crises beyond your credential/scope
• Disciplinary or performance improvement actions
• Hiring/termination decisions and any supervision requiring a supervisory credential you do not hold
