We believe that every moment has potential, and we work tirelessly to ensure the people we serve are given every opportunity to be as independent as possible in their homes and in their communities.

The Clinical Program Director will work to develop treatment plans for the Intellectually and/or Developmentally Disabled adults we serve, as well as develop and train staff on understanding and implementing trauma-informed care and case management.

The Clinical Program Director has a hand in almost every aspect in the services we provide, from general administrative duties such as documentation, reports, and ensuring agency compliance to off-site assessments for incoming clients, hands-on support for our current clients, and developing and implementing numerous plans, goals, and celebrations for the people we support.

This position works directly with people who regularly communicate through challenging behaviors, including severe physical aggression, self-injurious behavior, and property destruction. The Clinical Program Director is also responsible for writing therapeutic treatment plans and ensuring implementation by treatment teams.
