Clinical Supervisor and Program Sustainability Manager

Everyone in our community is fully nourished—emotionally, physically, and spiritually

Mission / Organization / Department

At William Temple House (WTH), we offer food, counseling, clothing, and household items to our Portland-area neighbors. Our vision is that everyone in our community is fully nourished.

Founded in 1965, WTH has a budget of $2.4 million and 28 staff members (26 FTE). In September 2019, we developed a diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) framework, conducted a client needs assessment, and began an intensive strategic planning process which was completed in July 2020. Our recent strategic planning work included a refreshed logo, visuals, and updated messaging, adopted in Fall 2022.

Our team is comprised of 4 staff members and 4 contracted counselors. Our program has close partnerships with local universities and regularly recruits and trains 15 – 20 interns per year. As an agency we serve a wide variety of clients in our programs, including people who are immigrants, people of color, LGBTQIA , younger, older, and with disabilities. We are proud of our reputation for providing quality counseling to people who otherwise may not have access to services.

Current Opportunity

The Counseling Department is a complex operation that is constantly adapting to meet the changing needs of our Portland community. This position closely supports the Director of Training and Counseling. The Clinical Supervisor and Program Sustainability Manager plays a key role in training and mentoring the next generation of practitioners and therapists in Portland, OR, while also promoting program visibility, expanding access to care, and securing funding to sustain the program.

As one of the main internship training programs in Portland, William Temple House trains students completing master’s degrees in Counseling, Psychology and Social Work. This position will include hands-on aspects such as facilitating both group and individual supervision to interns, shadowing interns, and providing on-site and virtual support during client crises, as well as delivering direct in-person and telehealth clinical services to William Temple House clients. Additionally, this role will collaborate with the Director to develop and implement initiatives aimed at achieving revenue neutrality for the department.

About Us

With our nearly 60-year history of responding to the needs of our community through essential programs and services, we welcome people from across the Portland metro area. Equity and justice are core values that guide all our work. In the pursuit of social justice, we stand with each other. We lift up our clients’ voices, stories, and strengths—and center these perspectives in our work. Our passionate group of people make up a robust staff dedicated to our mission. We are amid some impactful organizational cultural shifts because of our equity work and the COVID-19 pandemic.

As an equal opportunity provider serving more than 11,000 people a year, our programs and services are inclusive of all households and family structures, races and ethnicities, languages spoken, gender identities, sexual orientations, ages, faiths, and immigration experiences. Many turn to us when other doors have been closed, including disenfranchised and marginalized individuals, immigrants, people of color, and people whose primary language is not English.

Our staff and board believe deeply in our social justice roots and have a commitment to equity that we’re working to instill more authentically in our operations. It is a very exciting time of change, and we are looking for someone who is willing to be a full participant in shaping the future of our communications, and our organization as a whole.

We have a deep appreciation for our team members and celebrate staff and volunteer birthdays and anniversaries and, pre-COVID, regularly held fun committee events.
