Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) Jobs in Soldotna & Homer, Alaska
Kenai Peninsula Mental Health is hiring Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSWs) for our outpatient private practices in Soldotna and Homer, Alaska. This is not community mental health or a high-volume agency model. These are private practice roles for clinicians who take their work seriously and want engaged clients and sustainable caseloads.
We built this practice around a simple principle: when clinicians are well supported, clients receive better care. That shows up in efficient systems, strong administrative support, a steady referral base, and scheduling flexibility that allows you to build a real career without sacrificing your life outside the office.
Below you’ll find position details, compensation structure, and how to connect if you’re interested.
Our Two Mental Health Office Locations.
Social Worker Jobs in Homer
Homer sits at the southern tip of the Kenai Peninsula, about four hours from Anchorage, where the highway meets Kachemak Bay. Known for halibut fishing and a strong arts community, it draws independent, thoughtful people who value living with intention. This setting includes mountain views and direct access to the bay, with a pace of life that is noticibly quieter than most cities.
Our Homer office maintains the same clinical standards, systems, compensation, flexibility, and administrative support as Soldotna. The choice comes down to which community fits you best.
Social Worker Jobs in Soldotna
Soldotna is located about two and a half hours south of Anchorage along the Sterling Highway. Built along the Kenai River and bordering the Kenai National Wildlife Refuge, it offers everyday access to trails, wildlife, and wide open spaces.
Life here moves at a sustainable pace. The cost of living is reasonable by Alaska standards, and the outdoors is simply part of daily life.
Our Soldotna office is well equipped, thoughtfully organized, and located in a professional setting that reflects the high standard of care we provide.
What work looks like here.
This is a straightforward outpatient mental health role. You carry a caseload of individuals, children, teens, families, and couples presenting with anxiety, depression, trauma, and general life stressors. These are engaged clients who show up and participate in the work.
Your day is primarily clinical. You see clients, complete documentation, manage your schedule and make sure your space is dialed in.
Administrative staff handle billing, insurance, and new client onboarding.
You work alongside experienced counselors, therapists, social workers, and psychiatric providers who value clear communication and high clinical standards.
Consultation is accessible and collaboration is encouraged.
We use a modern, cloud-based EHR system that is HIPAA compliant, efficient and user friendly.
Documentation expectations are clear and sustainable. Most clinicians complete notes the same day, allowing them to leave work at work.
Thriving as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker at KPMH.
We are not hiring for a specific personality or clinical style. We are hiring thoughtful, licensed clinical social workers who take their work seriously and value being part of a strong, professional team.
Professionals who do well here are comfortable treating a range of concerns across age groups. They complete documentation responsibly and on time. They treat clients and colleagues with professionalism and respect. Within that structure, there is meaningful autonomy in how they practice.
We expect accountability, consistency, and a willingness to engage in feedback.
We prioritize long-term fit over simply filling a position. Experience, references, and direct conversation during the interview process help determine whether this is the right next step for both sides.
Compensation, perks, and benefits.
The goal is simple. A role that pays you what you are worth, treats you like a professional, and gives you room to build sustainability.
Compensation.
Licensed Clinical Social Workers at Kenai Peninsula Mental Health typically earn between $110,000 and $165,000 annually.
You are a W2 employee, not a 1099 contractor, which means stable predictable income without the headaches of managing your own books.
Pay reflects your licensure, clinical experience, and caseload. As your availability and caseload grow, your earning potential grows with it.
Other Perks.
Health care benefit to support your wellbeing outside the office.
Paid Sick Leave
Malpractice coverage provided so you are protected without carrying that cost yourself.
CEU support, because strong clinicians keep growing and we want to make that easy.
Clinical supervision for pre-licensed clinicians working toward full licensure in Alaska.
Scheduling that is actually flexible.
You have real input into your session days, hours, and time off.
We ask for a minimum of 24 completed sessions per week.
Most clinicians work a three to four day clinical week and manage their own time off in coordination with client needs.
Moving to Alaska as a licensed clinical social worker.
If you’re licensed in another state and in good standing, Alaska offers licensure by credentials, sometimes referred to as licensure by endorsement. The Alaska Board reviews your existing license, education, supervised experience, and exam history to determine whether they meet state requirements.
Alaska does not currently participate in an interstate compact, so licensure is completed directly through the state board rather than transferred automatically. For most experienced clinicians, this is a straightforward review process.
Pre-licensed clinicians may be able to transfer supervised hours completed in other states, depending on prior documentation and training history.
If you have questions about how your specific background might translate, we’re happy to talk through it.
