    Job Description

    Lead a Team That Changes Lives

    We’re seeking a dynamic, mission-driven leader to oversee our Assertive Community Treatment (ACT) team—an evidence-based program supporting individuals with serious mental illness in the community.

    As Program Manager, you’ll guide a multidisciplinary team delivering high-impact, community-based care that reduces hospitalizations and helps people build stable, independent lives.

    This role is ideal for a leader who thrives in fast-paced environments, values teamwork, and is passionate about improving systems of care.


    What You’ll Do

    Team Leadership & Supervision

    · Supervise and support a multidisciplinary team (therapists, nurses, case managers, peer specialists)

    · Provide clinical and administrative oversight

    · Coach staff to manage complex cases and crisis situations

    · Foster a culture of accountability, collaboration, and resilience

    Program Operations

    · Ensure fidelity to the ACT model and best practices

    · Monitor caseloads, staffing ratios, and service delivery

    · Oversee scheduling, coverage, and daily team meetings

    · Manage program performance metrics and outcomes

    Quality & Compliance

    · Ensure compliance with state, federal, and payer requirements

    · Prepare for audits and maintain documentation standards

    · Implement continuous quality improvement initiatives

    Community & System Coordination

    · Collaborate with hospitals, courts, housing providers, and community partners

    · Support referrals, admissions, and transitions of care

    · Represent the program in community meetings and stakeholder groups


    Why This Role Matters

    · You’ll directly impact both client outcomes and staff retention

    · You’ll shape team culture in a high-need, high-impact setting

    · You’ll have the autonomy to improve systems—not just maintain them


    What We’re Looking For

    · Independent clinical license (LCSW, LPC, LMFT, etc.)

    · 3–5+ years of experience in community mental health or ACT (or similar programs)

    · Prior supervisory or leadership experience strongly preferred

    · Strong crisis management and decision-making skills

    · Ability to balance clinical, administrative, and operational demands


    What We Offer

    · Competitive salary & Bonus

    · Clinical supervision and leadership development opportunities

    · Supportive executive leadership and manageable span of control

    · autonomy in program management

    · Generous PTO + holidays


    The Kind of Leader Who Thrives Here

    · Calm under pressure and confident in crisis situations

    · Able to support staff without micromanaging

    · Organized but flexible in a constantly changing environment

    · Passionate about serving high-need populations

    · Committed to building and retaining strong teams
