Purpose of the position
The Chief Operating Officer (COO) is a hands-on, in-person executive leader based in Southern California, responsible for the operational performance, clinical integration, and financial optimization of WEA's multi-state healthcare operations. This role requires exceptional leadership, deep healthcare operations expertise, and a track record of building and enforcing integrated clinical systems across diverse care settings. The COO will work on-site to directly implement operational infrastructure, enforce compliance and quality standards, and drive revenue optimization strategies that support WEA's mission and long-term sustainability.
This is not a remote or fractional role — the COO must be physically present to lead cross-functional teams, engage directly with regional operations, and maintain close, real-time oversight of clinical and administrative functions.

Compensation: The compensation range for this role is $170,000–$240,000/year, with final compensation determined based on experience, qualifications, and role scope.
Work Location & Expectations: This role requires daily in-person engagement at Southern California headquarters/operational sites; this is not a remote or hybrid position.
Travel Required: Approximately 20% regional travel across multi-state operations, based on organizational needs.
Professional Development: Opportunity to collaborate with cross-functional leaders across Behavioral Health, Medical, Street Medicine, Public Health, Rural Health, and Tribal Health initiatives.

About the Behavioral Health Crisis Walk-In Center
WEA's Behavioral Health Crisis Walk-In Center (CWIC) is located on the behavioral health campus of Riverside University Health System in Indio, CA. It offers 24/7 walk-in, voluntary crisis services for adults and children ages 5 and older. The center is designed to provide immediate, accessible care and serves up to 20 youth and adult patients at a time.
Position Summary
The Behavioral Health Clinician I (Pre-Licensed Associate) is a frontline clinician at the CWIC. Under the required supervision of a licensed clinician, the role provides rapid assessment, crisis intervention, and short-term stabilization for youth, adults, and families with acute behavioral health needs.
This role helps individuals stabilize quickly, engage personal and community supports, and transition safely to ongoing care. Clinicians work in a fast-paced, high-acuity environment and support individuals with standalone or co-occurring mental health and substance use challenges.
The scope of independence, case complexity, and shift-lead responsibility grows with experience and progress toward BBS-supervised hours. Newer associates work closely with supervisor consultation. More experienced associates take on greater independence in risk assessment, support inpatient discharge planning, serve as shift lead more regularly, and mentor newer clinicians.
The Behavioral Health Clinician I works closely with an interdisciplinary team that includes peer support, nursing, psychiatry, and site operations. The clinician also partners with clinical leadership and their assigned supervisors to deliver safe, effective, and compassionate care. This is a high-impact entry point into licensed clinical practice, ideal for associate clinicians who thrive in crisis settings and want to serve vulnerable populations with empathy, structure, and clinical excellence.
Key Highlights
Compensation: $75,000–$82,000 annually. Placement and increases are based on experience, qualifications, and role scope, and you become eligible for increases upon licensure.
Work Location & Expectations: This role requires daily in-person work at the Behavioral Health Crisis Walk-In Center in Indio, CA.
Supervision: Regular individual and group supervision toward BBS-recognized hours for licensure (LCSW, LMFT, or LPCC track).
Growth Within the Role: As experience and supervised hours accrue, clinicians take on greater case complexity, shift-lead duties, and mentorship of newer associates, and compensation grows accordingly within the posted range.
Professional Development: Opportunity to collaborate with cross-functional leaders across Behavioral Health, Medical, Street Medicine, Public Health, Rural Health, and Tribal Health initiatives.
