Brief Description

Join Our Team and Make a Difference!

Are you a natural leader with a passion for social impact? Ready to take your behavioral health and care management experience to the next level? We’re looking for a Program Director to lead a powerhouse portfolio of services designed to support adults navigating mental health, substance use challenges, and justice involvement.

You’ll oversee multiple innovative programs including:

• Community Support Program (CSP)
• Behavioral Health for Justice Involvement (BHJI)
• Recovery Support and Navigation
• Mobile Outreach Program (in partnership with the Department of Mental Health)
  
  
  

These programs are all about helping individuals thrive in the community — improving health outcomes, reducing emergency visits and overdoses, lowering recidivism, and connecting people to the services they deserve.

What You’ll Be Doing

As Program Director, you’ll wear many hats — and look good in all of them! Here's a snapshot:

• Lead program strategy, growth, and expansion
• Build strong partnerships with funders, providers, and justice system stakeholders
• Manage budgets, contracts, and performance outcomes
• Supervise, train, and develop a passionate multidisciplinary team
• Ensure clinical quality, compliance, and service excellence
• Respond to challenges, mediate issues, and keep things running smoothly
• Jump in for direct service when needed — in the community, hospitals, or correctional settings
  
  
  

You’ll also ensure documentation is on point, meetings are productive, and quality improvement is always in motion.

What You Bring To The Table

• 2+ years of management experience
• 2+ years working with justice-involved individuals and systems
• Valid driver’s license and reliable transportation (you’ll be out and about!)
• Strong cultural competence and commitment to social justice
• Confidence in managing staff, data, and program outcomes
• Tech savvy and adaptable in a hybrid work environment
  
  
  

Why This Role Rocks

This isn’t your average desk job. It’s a chance to be a changemaker — to work at the intersection of health, recovery, and justice. You’ll join a mission-driven team, have a voice in organizational leadership, and directly shape services that change lives.

Ready to lead with purpose, creativity, and heart?
