• Oversee all aspects of assigned group homes

• Provide ongoing coaching and development of all employees
• Complete employee evaluations, conduct investigations, and initiate disciplinary actions and terminations, as needed
• Schedule and lead team meetings
• Develop and implement employee schedules

Work Environment and Office Hours:

This position is in-office, providing site supervision for direct care staff. This role involves typical office hours, Monday through Friday, full-time. Additionally, the Program Director must have a flexible schedule with the ability to be on-call during the on-call rotation (this includes weekends and odd hours).

What Makes You A Great Fit:

• Bachelor’s degree, preferably in Human Services, Social Work, Psychology, Behavioral Science or related field is preferred
• A minimum of 2 years managerial/supervisory experience, including hiring, disciplining, and terminating employees
• At least 1 year of full-time, direct experience working with individuals with developmental disabilities or intellectual disabilities
• Experience with mental health preferred
• Valid driver's license with acceptable driving record
• Reliable vehicle with current auto liability insurance
• Must demonstrate good decision-making, time management and communication skills, and be responsible, mature, and flexible
