APPLY BY APRIL 17, 2026 TO BE CONSIDERED FOR INTERVIEWS ON APRIL 23, 2026

Make a Difference!
Are you passionate about helping people rebuild their lives while working alongside a team that genuinely supports one another? The Nevada County Behavioral Health Department is looking for a Substance Use Disorder (SUD) Clinical Supervisor to help lead our dedicated treatment team.

We know this work isn’t always easy, but that’s exactly why we lean on each other, celebrate small victories, and never forget to laugh along the way.

What You’ll Do:

• Guide and support a talented team providing outreach, engagement, and care coordination for individuals experiencing SUD.
• Offer clinical supervision and mentorship, helping staff navigate complex cases with compassion and evidence-based strategies.
• Keep the program running smoothly, i.e. review documentation, authorize services, and track outcomes to make sure our efforts are making an impact.
• Collaborate with amazing community partners to strengthen our local network of care and support.

Why Join Us?
Every day is different here and no two stories or solutions are ever the same. You’ll have opportunities to think creatively, grow professionally, and work in an environment where your input truly matters.

Our team values authenticity, teamwork, and heart just as much as clinical expertise. If you’re someone who brings both skill and a steady, supportive energy to your work, we’d love to have you join us in making a real impact. Come help us make a difference in our community! One person, one laugh, and one breakthrough at a time.

Compensation and Benefits

Our full-time staff members enjoy an extensive benefit package including but not limited to a generous leave program, 11 standard holidays and 3 floating holidays, CalPERS retirement, medical insurance, dental insurance, vision insurance, life insurance, flexible spending accounts for medical and dependent care expenses, and a deferred compensation plan including 401(a), 457(b), and Roth options. Nevada County is a qualifying employer for the Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF) program through the Department of Education. And because we care about work-life balance, we also offer flexible schedules and telework options to our staff depending on program needs! Benefits will be commensurate with the governing MOU at time of appointment.

We are an equal opportunity employer and value diversity. We do not discriminate on the basis of race, religion, color, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, age, marital status, veteran status, or disability status. We will ensure that individuals with disabilities are provided with reasonable accommodation to participate in the job application or interview process, to perform essential job functions, and to receive other benefits and privileges of employment. Please contact us to request accommodation.

Why Nevada County?
Because we may be small, but we’re mighty, and proud of it! Nestled in the heart of the Sierra Nevada mountains, Nevada County offers not only breathtaking views and a vibrant community, but also a workplace where your ideas and contributions truly make an impact.

Here, you’re not just another name on the roster. Your voice matters, your input is valued, and your work genuinely changes lives. Our team thrives on collaboration, creativity, and shared purpose. We celebrate the wins (big and small), support each other through the challenges, and never lose sight of why we’re here: to make a difference in the lives of individuals and families in our community.

Bring your whole self to work, breathe in the mountain air, and help us continue building a compassionate and resilient system of care—small county, big heart!
