Job Description
Are you a natural advocate who thrives on helping others achieve their goals?

- Empower Independence: Help individuals advocate for themselves, initiate their own ideas, and exercise real choice in the supports they receive.
- Lead a Team: Recruit, train, and supervise a team of Direct Support Professionals (DSPs) and Job Coaches. You'll lead staff meetings and ensure consistent, high-quality coverage for all shifts. You will also provide on call coverage on a rotating schedule with other Program Managers.
- Create Opportunity: Identify and secure employment opportunities tailored to each individual's unique skills and interests. You'll ensure they have the tools to meet employer standards and flourish in their careers.
- Cultivate Experiences: Encourage participation in social and cultural activities, ensuring a life well-lived in the community and at home.
- Collaborate & Monitor: Partner with families, guardians, nursing staff, and fellow managers to monitor well-being and adapt services as needs evolve.
What You'll Bring
- A passion for advocacy and person-centered support.
- Strong leadership skills with the ability to mentor and motivate a diverse team.
- Excellent communication skills for navigating relationships with families, employers, and clinical staff.
- A proactive mindset-ready to jump in and provide coverage or solve problems whenever necessary.
- Experience in supported employment, residential services, or community participation is preferred.
