Program Director-BHJI

Are you a natural leader with a passion for social impact? Ready to take your behavioral health and care management experience to the next level? We’re looking for a Program Director to lead a powerhouse portfolio of services designed to support adults navigating mental health, substance use challenges, and justice involvement.

You’ll oversee multiple innovative programs including:

• Community Support Program (CSP)

• Behavioral Health for Justice Involvement (BHJI)

• Recovery Support and Navigation

• Mobile Outreach Program (in partnership with the Department of Mental Health)

These programs are all about helping individuals thrive in the community — improving health outcomes, reducing emergency visits and overdoses, lowering recidivism, and connecting people to the services they deserve.

What You’ll Be Doing

As Program Director, you’ll wear many hats — and look good in all of them! Here's a snapshot:

• Lead program strategy, growth, and expansion

• Build strong partnerships with funders, providers, and justice system stakeholders

• Manage budgets, contracts, and performance outcomes

• Supervise, train, and develop a passionate multidisciplinary team

• Ensure clinical quality, compliance, and service excellence

• Respond to challenges, mediate issues, and keep things running smoothly

• Jump in for direct service when needed — in the community, hospitals, or correctional settings

You’ll also ensure documentation is on point, meetings are productive, and quality improvement is always in motion.

What You Bring to the Table

• Master’s Degree in Psychology, Social Work, Counseling, or related field

• 2 years of management experience

• 2 years working with justice-involved individuals and systems

• A clinical license is a big plus (LICSW, LMHC, LADC, LCSW, or Licensed Psychologist)

• Valid driver’s license and reliable transportation (you’ll be out and about!)

• Strong cultural competence and commitment to social justice

• Confidence in managing staff, data, and program outcomes

• Tech savvy and adaptable in a hybrid work environment

Why This Role Rocks

This isn’t your average desk job. It’s a chance to be a changemaker — to work at the intersection of health, recovery, and justice. You’ll join a mission-driven team, have a voice in organizational leadership, and directly shape services that change lives.
