Lead a team that opens the community's doors

Imagine a job where your biggest win of the week is watching someone try something new, make a friend, or take a big step toward a goal they set for themselves. That's the heart of this role.

As our Supported Community Connections (SCC) Manager, you'll lead the programs that help the people we support get out, get involved, and thrive in the community. You'll be the energy behind the outings, the mentor for a team of Direct Support Professionals, and the trusted go-to for families and case managers. Your leadership will leave a lasting mark on the participants and on the team that supports them.

If you're a natural connector, a creative planner, and a coach who brings out the best in people, this is your next chapter.

• Protect every person's dignity, rights, and ability to make informed choices

Keep it all running smoothly

• Ensure programs meet Starpoint policies, Medicaid Waiver requirements, OSHA standards, and licensing and contractual requirements

• Join management and staff meetings to stay on top of best practices and organizational updates

• Comfort with basic math, including percentages and ratios, and with making sense of simple data
• Practical problem-solving skills and the ability to follow instructions in many formats
• A valid driver's license with a clean driving record, plus a private vehicle that is licensed, registered, and insured
