Substance Use & Mental Health Counselor Victory Recovery Partners| Full-Time $7,000 Sign-On Bonus for New Hires! Guaranteed base pay for your full 40-hour week, plus incentive pay, for total earning potential of up to $65,000/year. The Role Victory Recovery Partners is a mission-driven outpatient recovery center built around one idea: care shouldn't be scattered across five different providers. We put Medication Assisted Treatment, Behavioral Health, Wellness, and Psychiatry under one roof - which means as a counselor here, you're not chasing outside referrals to get your clients what they need. You coordinate with the psychiatrist and MAT team down the hall. We're hiring one full-time counselor for our Hempstead program. This is direct, patient-centered clinical work: biopsychosocial assessments, individual and group counseling, case management, crisis intervention, and treatment/discharge planning for your caseload. This is a guaranteed-salary position, not fee-for-service - you're paid your base rate plus can earn incentive pay to be discussed during the interview. Spanish fluency is a strong plus for this location (not required, but it will move your application to the top if you have it). What You'll Actually Be Doing Carry an assigned caseload for individual and group counseling Complete in-depth psychosocial assessments and level-of-care screenings Provide case management and crisis intervention, with warm handoffs to our on-site MAT and psychiatry teams when clients need more than counseling alone Maintain OASAS-compliant clinical documentation in our EMR Who We're Looking For We're being specific here on purpose: we'd rather hear from fewer, better-matched applicants than sort through a pile of resumes that don't fit. You hold one of these active credentials: CASAC or CASAC-T or CASAC-P LMSW or MSW LMHC or MHC-LP If you're

We provide supervised work hours and supervision towards full licensure! You're comfortable with: Electronic medical record systems, day to day Microsoft 365 (Outlook, Word, Excel) A fast-paced caseload where priorities shift, and you can triage and stay organized without losing track of clients Why Counselors Stay Here A lot of behavioral health counselor jobs on Long Island are fee-for-service: advertised at $75-80/hour and up, but that means you're only paid for the hours you're actually in session. At Victory, we don't work that way: you're on a predictable, guaranteed rate even when a client cancels or no-shows, so that's one less thing weighing on you. Here's what else we'd put in front of a candidate weighing us against a higher-advertised-rate offer: One-roof coordination. You're not spending your day on the phone trying to track down a psychiatrist or MAT provider your client saw somewhere else. Room to grow. There's no formal ladder mapped out on day one: we get to know you first. But we actively watch for counselors who show they've got what it takes, and we look to move them into roles with more responsibility (like clinical supervisor or program lead). We are always looking to promote from within.
