Job description

CLINICAL DIRECTOR RESIDENTIAL ADDICTION SERVICES

Gilead Community Services seeks a passionate and experienced professional to serve as Clinical Department Director of Residential Addiction Services. In this newly created role, youll provide clinical and administrative leadership for our flagship Farrell Treatment Program : overseeing multiple levels of care, supervising personnel, and ensuring services meet the complex needs of our diverse client population.

Why This Role Matters

For over 50 years, Gilead has delivered high-quality, person-centered services that support recovery, independence, and community integration. Unlike large healthcare systems, our work is grounded in real relationships. We know our clients by name and we put their needs first, even when the system doesnt make that easy.

This is rare opportunity to shape the future of Farrell as it grows to include a new level of care. Youll guide it toward clinical best practice while preserving its heart providing the highest level of care to a high-acuity, high-need population that few others are willing or able to take on.

How Youll Make Your Impact

Farrell is a cornerstone of our continuum of care, serving individuals with complex needs in a 24 / 7 residential setting. Its fast-paced, high-intensity work, and this position is designed for someone who thrives in that environment and brings a sharp clinical lens, strong administrative skills, and deep compassion for the people we serve.

Lead high-quality, recovery-focused care

  • Ensure provision of evidence-based best treatment modalities, trauma informed and culturally sensitive clinical care.

Strengthen teams and elevate clinical practice

  • Supervise and develop clinical and program leadership staff, ensuring strong performance and continuous growth.
  • Provide in-service training, mentorship, and ongoing clinical supervision.
  • Monitor staffing levels and support hiring and retention efforts in partnership with HR.
  • Ensure regulatory excellence

  • Maintain compliance with all relevant standards and regulations (e.g., DMHAS, DPH, DSS, DCF, CARF, 1115 requirements).
  • Serve as point of contact for audits, licensing visits, and funder relationships.
  • Drive quality improvement by monitoring outcome measures and responding to performance trends.
  • Build relationships and expand capacity

  • Act as liaison to municipal, state, private, and community partners.
  • Collaborate with Gileads leadership team to develop and refine services in alignment with emerging needs and strategic priorities.
  • Support agency fundraising and development initiatives.
  • This Role Might Be for You If Youre :

  • Experienced and ready to lead at scale : Youve built deep expertise in addiction and mental health care, supervising teams and managing one or more programs and youre ready to apply that experience to a high-impact, organization-wide leadership role.
  • Looking for a meaningful change from the corporate healthcare mode l : Youre ready to reconnect with the heart of addiction services work in setting where client care still (not just revenue targets) drives the work.
  • Strong in the storm : You thrive in high-intensity, fast-moving settings. Whether its a regulatory visit, a staffing crisis, or a clinical emergency, you keep a level head and lead with purpose.
  • What You Bring :

  • A clinical license (LCSW, LPC, LMFT, or PhD) and at least 8 years of experience in co-occurring addiction and mental health care.
  • To be considered for this role, please submit both your resume and a cover letter outlining your interest and relevant experience.
  • Extensive experience in administrative and clinical leadership , including direct supervision and program oversight.
  • A steady hand in fast-paced, high-acuity environments , with the ability to manage competing priorities calmly and effectively.
  • Comfort engaging with high-level state partners and oversight bodies including DMHAS, DPH, DSS, and DDS with the professionalism and clarity to represent Gilead effectively.
  • Working knowledge of Connecticuts regulatory requirements and financial structures related to residential addiction and mental health services.
  • A leadership style rooted in compassion, accountability, and client-centered values.
  • A valid drivers license and automobile insurance.
  • Whats a Bonus (But Not Required)

  • Experience within a 1115 waiver environment
  • Background in program development, expansion, or procurement
  • A sharp sense of humor and quick thinking because when the pace is fast and the stakes are high, a little levity goes a long way.
  • We Offer :

  • Starting salary of $95,000 to $115,000 annually.
  • Generous paid time off (up to 4 weeks paid vacation, 13 holidays, 2 paid personal days, 12 sick days).
  • Truly affordable medical, dental and vision benefits that save you nearly 50% more than the national average.
  • Investment in your future through our 403(b) retirement plan and match, scholarship programs, tuition reimbursement, and professional development opportunities.
  • Peace of mind with free long-term disability insurance and affordable short- and long-term life insurance options.
