Antelope Recovery seeks a Clinical Assessor to join a clinical team committed to rigorous, holistic assessment of this population. Position Overview The Clinical Assessor conducts level of care and specialty evaluations, including ASAM and CALOCUS-CASII assessments, for youth referred by probation, courts, families, and community partners.

Responsibilities

The Clinical Assessor completes comprehensive biopsychosocial and level of care assessments that account for the full context of each youth's circumstances, including trauma history, family functioning, substance use, mental health, and legal involvement. Evaluations result in written reports and recommendations suitable for review by probation officers, judicial officers, families, and treatment providers. The position requires close coordination with admissions and clinical staff to ensure timely placement in the appropriate level of care, as well as careful navigation of the court, probation, and Medicaid systems on behalf of each youth.

Licensed clinicians (LCSW, LPC, LMFT, LAC) and pre-licensed clinicians actively pursuing licensure are encouraged to apply. Spanish fluency is preferred. Compensation $60,000 to $80,000 annually, commensurate with licensure, evaluation volume, and experience.
