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 when needed (this includes weekends and odd hours).

Qualifications

What Makes You a Great Fit:
