Make a Meaningful Difference — On a Schedule That Works for You

What if you could do meaningful clinical work without sacrificing the flexibility you need outside of work?

At Backpack Healthcare, we're transforming access to behavioral healthcare for children, adolescents, and young adults. As a clinician-led, minority-owned organization, we believe great care starts with meeting families where they are — and supporting the clinicians who care for them.

We're looking for passionate Licensed Clinical Social Workers and Social Work Clinicians who bring a strengths-based, trauma-informed, and systems-oriented approach to their work.

Whether you're looking to supplement your practice, build your caseload, serve your community, or grow toward clinical leadership, Backpack gives you the flexibility and support to make an impact.

Competitive Compensation+ Monthly Bonus Potential

• $65 per billable hour — LCSW-C/LCPC/LMFT, independently licensed
• $45 per billable hour — LMSW/LGPC, with clinical supervision provided
• Monthly bonus potential for eligible clinicians based on applicable productivity and performance criteria
• Target caseload of 15–22 sessions per week
• Clinical supervision and professional development opportunities

Earn More While You Grow

Your earning potential goes beyond your billable rate.

Eligible clinicians have the opportunity to earn a monthly performance-based bonus in addition to their regular compensation. Bonus eligibility is based on applicable productivity and performance expectations, providing an additional opportunity to increase your monthly earnings while being recognized for delivering consistent, high-quality care.
