About Partnerships for Trauma Recovery

Partnerships for Trauma Recovery is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to healing the psychological and psychosocial impacts of trauma among international survivors of human rights abuses, persecution related to identity and beliefs, and forced displacement resulting from war, torture, gender-based, criminal and other forms of interpersonal violence. PTR provides psychological, psychosocial and psychiatric care for asylum seekers and refugees from around the world; conducts community outreach, support and training; and advocates for policies to prevent trauma and re-traumatization among international survivors of violence.

The Role

As a member of the Leadership Team, the primary responsibility of the Clinical Director will be to lead and oversee PTR’s provision of direct services. Collaborating closely with the Leadership Team and reporting to the Executive Director, the Clinical Director will provide programmatic oversight for all direct service programming, including supporting managers of the Survivors of Torture, African Communities, and Counseling Programs. This position will manage and supervise program managers working in the direct services department and other clinical administrative positions, for a total of 6-8 direct reports. The position will be responsible for oversight of direct service staff who provide psychological, psychosocial and psychiatric care, as well as training and outreach activities, overseeing the quality of globally trauma informed and culturally responsive services provided for international survivors of human rights abuses who have fled violence and persecution in their countries of origin, and are seeking greater safety in California. This position is a hybrid position.

Our clients represent a broad range of backgrounds and identities, and so does our team. We are especially interested in hearing from candidates whose background and lived-experience is representative of the communities we serve.
