What are the responsibilities and job description for the Assistant Director of Residential Services position at Greystone Programs?
Assistant Director of Residential Services - $3,000 Retention Bonus*
Lead innovative, ABA-informed residential programs in Dutchess, Orange or Ulster Counties
Are you energized by a fast-paced, dynamic, and creative work environment? Do you want to make a meaningful impact and enrich lives every day?
Join Greystone Programs, where we believe every person deserves to live the life they choose.
We are seeking an experienced and innovative leader in the disabilities services field to oversee and provide leadership to four community residences and their management teams. This role is ideal for a leader with a strong background in OPWDD residential operations who wants to shape how services are delivered — not just maintain them.
What You’ll Do:
- Lead with purpose: Guide and empower residential managers to deliver high-quality, person-centered care grounded in ABA principles and Greystone's core values: Respect, Integrity, Compassion, Honesty, and Diversity.
- Champion innovation: Bring fresh thinking to service delivery — identifying new approaches to behavior support, program design, and quality of life outcomes rather than defaulting to "how it's always been done."
- Develop future leaders: Mentor and grow residential managers into strong, confident leaders through coaching, real-time feedback, and structured professional development.
- Drive program excellence: Monitor program budgets, ensure proper staffing coverage within labor budgets, and oversee operations that adapt to the evolving needs of the people we support.
- Stay adaptable: Work a Monday–Friday schedule with flexibility as needed, including providing on-call support.
Why Greystone?
At Greystone Programs, innovation isn't a buzzword — it's how we approach care. We invest in leaders who want to grow, experiment with better approaches to residential and behavioral support, and build stronger teams. You'll find a collaborative culture that prioritizes both professional development and making a real difference in the lives of others.
