Program Supervisor - Nonprofit Mental Health Agency!
The Welcoming Center is a therapeutic, home-like setting that supports young people as they navigate the trauma of placement disruption. The Welcoming Center is specifically designed to minimize the impact of this trauma by providing safety, care, comfort, and therapeutic supports for up to 24 hours while the best and most appropriate placement is coordinated. The Welcoming Center serves young people in Santa Clara County who are removed from their home, returning from elopement, or otherwise experiencing a loss of placement. When they arrive at The Welcoming Center, they are met by empathetic and well-trained adults that provide a calm, stable environment while their individualized needs are assessed and placement is secured.
The Program Supervisor is responsible for the day to day operations of the program, including supervision of counselors, staffing and scheduling, and upholding high standards of work with children and families. The Evening Program Supervisor is a strong role model for implementing Seneca’s model in direct care work with children. The Evening Program Supervisor works evening hours to provide supervision and support to swing and overnight team.
