Clinical Supervisor
A new model of behavioral health care is opening in Bangor. Help lead it.
Maine’s newest Crisis Receiving Center opens in July 2026. We’re looking for a Clinical Supervisor — LCSW, LCPC, or conditionally licensed — to help build it from day one.

Why this role exists
For too long, people in behavioral health crisis have had two options: an emergency department that wasn’t built for them, or a long wait for an appointment. The Crisis Receiving Center is the alternative. A 24/7 facility designed from the ground up for stabilization, dignity, and a clear path forward.
You won’t be supervising a program that has been operating one way for thirty years and resists change. You’ll be helping shape how it operates from the start.
What we’re not asking you to do
The job posting probably reads as if a 24/7 program means a 24/7 supervisor. That’s not how this works. CHCS has built genuine structural support around this role: clinical consultants, on-shift crisis workers, an established mobile crisis team, and a leadership team that does not contact supervisors outside traditional hours except in genuine emergencies.
The 24/7 nature of the program belongs to the program, not to you.
What we’re looking for & what you can expect
✔ Independently licensed as a clinical social worker (LCSW) or clinical professional counselor (LCPC). Conditional licensure is also welcome — LMSW-CC and LCPC-CC candidates should apply.
✔ Experience in crisis services, community mental health, or acute care environments is valuable. More than credentials, we’re looking for someone who is energized by building something rather than managing something already built.
✔ A starting annual salary of $75,000-$80,000, reflecting a competitive nonprofit compensation and benefits package. A team-based operating model with real backup.
✔ The stability and infrastructure of a 140-year-old institution behind a brand-new program. And the rare chance to put your name on something that didn’t exist in Maine before you helped build it.
About CHCS
Community Health and Counseling Services (CHCS) has been serving Maine since 1883. As a Certified Community Behavioral Health Center, CHCS provides same-day and next-day access alongside Crisis Residential Units Sojourn and Safe Harbour, the Children’s Behaioral Health Urgent Care Clinic, and the existing mobile crisis team.
The Crisis Receiving Center is a new program, that sits inside a well-established system of care. You won’t be discharging clients into uncertainty. You’ll be handing them off to a team that’s already there and interconnected.
