Licensed Clinical Social Worker - Remote Contract
Listing checked September 22, 2026 · pay as published by AfterQuery
Overview
AfterQuery contracts licensed clinical social workers to create the mental health and social service scenarios that frontier AI labs use to test model judgment and safety. You will work 10 hours per week or more on a remote, async schedule and earn $70 to $105 per hour through Stripe. The Medicine team needs your real-world clinical perspective on intake, safety planning, resource navigation and ethical dilemmas. Your scenarios and reference answers teach models how to respond when a client faces crisis, risk or a complicated care decision.
What You'll Do4
- 1Build realistic client scenarios that cover intake, safety planning, resource navigation and ethical dilemmas.
- 2Write reference responses that show the clinical reasoning behind each choice.
- 3Review model output for clinical accuracy, ethical standards and risk management.
- 4Identify advice that appears supportive but would fail a real client, then explain the exact gap.
Requirements8
- 1Active, unencumbered LCSW license in the US.
- 2At least 2 years of clinical practice after licensure.
- 3Experience with case conceptualization, safety planning and crisis intervention.
- 4Strong written English for clinical documentation.
- 5Able to commit at least 10 hours per week.
- 6Preferred experience in medical, school or child welfare settings.
- 7Preferred clinical supervision of associate level clinicians.
- 8Preferred training in evidence-based modalities such as CBT, DBT, EMDR or MI.
Who Should Apply
Candidates thrive in this role when they hold an active LCSW, have at least two years of post-licensure practice, and can write clear clinical reasoning in English. Experience in medical, school or child welfare settings helps, as does supervision of associate clinicians or formal training in CBT, DBT, EMDR or MI. The work suits clinicians who want to shape AI safety without carrying a caseload and can set aside 10 hours each week. Applicants often score low when they describe social work values in broad terms rather than walking through a specific safety plan, crisis intervention or ethical decision. Another common gap is an expired or encumbered license, or a lack of detail about how they would handle risk in a written reference response.
Salary Insight
The contract pays $70 to $105 per hour, with payment through Stripe. That range fits senior clinical consulting or expert review work and reflects the need for an active LCSW license plus at least two years of post-licensure practice. The listing does not mention benefits, so treat this as contract pay.

Required Skills
Application Tip
Lead with your active LCSW license and the state where you hold it, then give one compact example of a safety plan or crisis intervention you authored. Add any CBT, DBT, EMDR or MI training and state that you can commit at least 10 hours per week. Since the team reviews clinical writing, attach or describe a documentation sample that shows clear English and ethical risk handling.
