About the Program
Senoj Solutions LLC is a four bed Level III residential treatment program in Gastonia, North Carolina, currently pending licensure with the North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services under 10A NCAC 27G .1700. The program will serve male youth ages 11 to 17 with mental illness or emotional disturbance, providing trauma informed, individualized care intended to help residents build the skills needed to return successfully to home, school, and community.
Current Status, Please Read
The facility is not yet licensed and no residents are admitted. This engagement proceeds in two stages.
Stage One, now: the Licensed Professional is identified on the licensure application and provides license verification, insurance, and credentialing documentation. No clinical services are delivered, because there are no residents. No treatment plans are signed and no staff are supervised.
Stage Two, after licensure: the clinical role described below takes effect by written amendment signed by both parties, once the facility is licensed and residents are admitted. Neither party is obligated to enter
Stage Two.
Scope of the Position, Stage Two
The Licensed Professional provides clinical services within the scope of full clinical licensure:
● Comprehensive clinical assessment and diagnostic evaluation of residents
● Individual, group, and family therapy
● Clinical review and sign off on person centered plans where clinical licensure is required
● Clinical consultation to the Qualified Professional on matters exceeding the scope of that role

● Clinical oversight of facility operations
● On call or emergency response coverage for the facility
● Development and routine revision of person centered plans
● Case management, discharge planning, and service coordination

Engagement and Compensation
This is an independent contractor engagement. The Licensed Professional may contract individually or through a professional practice entity.
Compensation cannot be stated at this time. Rates for this service category are set by the managed care organization and are not released to a provider before licensure. Scope, session frequency, and fee structure will be set by written amendment once the facility is licensed and rates are available. A candidate who is not satisfied with the terms offered at that stage may decline without obligation.

Please submit a resume or curriculum vitae together with a copy of your current North Carolina license. Written position descriptions for both stages are available to candidates on request and will be provided before any commitment is made.

Application Question(s):
- Are you willing to serve as the Licensed Professional of record on a DHHS licensure application for a facility that is not yet licensed and has no residents admitted?
- What is your current North Carolina license type and license number? Please state the credential exactly as it appears on your license.
- Is your North Carolina license a full, independent clinical license, or is it an associate or provisional license such as LCMHCA, LCSWA, LMFTA, or LCAS-A? Please answer full or associate.
- Is your license currently active and in good standing with your board, with no past or pending disciplinary action, consent order, probation, or practice restriction? If any exists, please describe it.
