🎒 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.

Form CC-305

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
