WHO ARE WE?

Strategies to Empower People is a 100% employee-owned company that operates in the Greater Sacramento area, Yuba/Sutter/Placer counties, and North Bay region! We have been providing services to adults with Intellectual and/or Developmental Disabilities (I/DD) since 1994 and are the largest provider of our type in the area!

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. No two people we serve are alike so we are looking for employees who are adaptive, creative, and who thrive on the success of others!

WHAT IS THE JOB?

The Program Manager II reports the Chief Executive Officer and assists the CEO with multiple program oversight, training, and corrective actions for all unit employees including Program Managers, Comprehensive Support Professionals, and Housing Specialists. This position works alongside a team of Managers and field staff to provide Independent Living services, employment services, and housing services for the Intellectual and/or Developmentally Disabled (I/DD) adults our agency serves in the greater Sacramento area!

The Program Manager II is responsible for ensuring our program's compliance with external regulations and internal policies and procedures, as well as being responsible for intake, assessment and referral, transition planning, employment planning, Person-Centered Active Support principles, individualized support planning (ISP's), housing planning, crisis management, quality assurance for the individuals supported by the programs, program billing, scheduling of work and staffing, staff performance, and review and improvement of the programs included in the Comprehensive Support Program. The Program Manager II should be skilled with monitoring the achievement of objectives and comfortable with holding others accountable to program goals/milestones.

Being an advocate for our clients and being a strong communicator is a MUST for the Program Manager II role! We want someone who isn't afraid to hit the pavement with our clients and field staff while also being comfortable having backend conversations with the Sacramento business community regarding job and housing opportunities for adults with disabilities.

SCHEDULE

The Program Manager II position is a salaried exempt role which is on-call Monday through Friday and may be responsible for occasional weekend on-call coverage. Please note that this is not a 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. position! The Program Manager II is one of the last lines of supervision for our agency and needs to be an accessible resource for our clients, supervisory team, and our field staff!

The rate of pay for this position is $72,800-$79,040 annually depending on experience and Sign Language skill level, if applicable.

LOCATION

This position operates out of our Sacramento office location, which is located at 2330 Glendale Lane in Sacramento, 95825. This is not an office-only position! The expectation for the Program Manager II is to be on-site and available to support our clients in the entirety of the greater Sacramento area as needed.

JOB REQUIREMENTS

The Program Manager II position requires experience supervising other individuals as well as extensive experience working in the Human Services field with individuals who have intellectual and/or developmental disabilities.
