Job description

Whether you are hoping to find a fresh start, a better job, or take your career in a new direction, Anderson Health Services has a wealth of exciting career opportunities for you.

Leadership is not about titles, positions, or flowcharts. It is about one life influencing another.

Leaders step into difficult moments. They build strong teams. They create structure when things feel chaotic. And they help young people discover what's possible for their future.

Anderson Health Services is looking for Program Supervisors to lead a team of Mentors making a real difference in the lives of youth every day.

If you're the person others look to when things get tough, if you're a natural coach and problem-solver, and if you're ready to lead with both strength and compassion, this could be the opportunity you've been looking for.

Why This Role Is Different

This isn't a sit-behind-a-desk management position.

This is frontline leadership.

You'll lead a team, mentor staff, support youth, solve problems, make critical decisions, and help create an environment where young people can grow, heal, and succeed.

Every day brings new challenges.

Every day brings opportunities to lead.

And every day gives you the chance to make an impact that truly matters.

Who We Are

Anderson Health Services is a youth-focused behavioral health organization built on four core values:

Love. Care. Kindness. Compassion.

We believe:

• Strong relationships change lives.
• Structure creates safety.
• Leadership sets the tone.
• Youth thrive when adults show up consistently.

Everything we do is focused on helping young people build confidence, resilience, accountability, and hope for the future.

What You'll Actually Do

• Lead shift meetings, team huddles, and post-incident debriefs
• Partner closely with clinicians and leadership teams
• Respond to challenges with confidence and sound judgment
• Ensure documentation, communication, and expectations stay on track
• Help youth feel safe, respected, and supported every day

You won't manage from a distance.

You'll lead from the front.

The Kind of Leader We're Looking For

You'll thrive in this role if people naturally look to you for guidance.

You are:

• Calm under pressure
• Driven by purpose, not just a paycheck
• Comfortable holding people accountable
• Passionate about helping others grow
• A coach, mentor, team leader, or natural problem-solver
• Able to balance high expectations with genuine compassion

You understand that great leadership means supporting people while also challenging them to become better.

What's In It For You?

• Competitive salary based on experience
• Leadership role with advancement opportunities
• Ongoing leadership development and coaching
• A supportive team culture that values your voice
• Meaningful work that makes a difference every day
• The opportunity to develop management, behavioral health, and team leadership experience
• The chance to help shape a program, a team, and young lives

Whether your long-term goal is:

• Human Services Management
• Clinical Operations
• Program Administration

• Counseling
• Education

This role provides hands-on leadership experience that employers value.

You'll build skills in:

• Team leadership

The Impact You'll Make

They remember people.

They remember the leader who stayed calm during a crisis.

The supervisor who believed in their team.

The adult who created consistency when life felt uncertain.

As a Program Supervisor, your leadership influences:

• The culture of the program
• The success of your team
• The experience of every youth in care
• The safety and stability of the environment
• The outcomes that shape young lives

Your leadership becomes the standard.

And that impact lasts long after your shift ends.
