What are the responsibilities and job description for the Program Manager - Supported Living Services (SLS) position at Mains'l?

Are you ready to take the next step in your career here at Mains'l?

We’re hiring a Supported Living Services (SLS) Program Manager who will be responsible for training, coaching, and mentoring our crew in supporting adults with various abilities and limitations. The manager also directly manages and leads two 24-hour residential homes supporting up to about 5 supported adults. The SLS Manager will use person-centered practices while following Mains’l Mission, Vision, and Values.


What does a SLS Program Manager do?

As a Program Manager, you will lead a team of Direct Support Professionals (DSPs) to support people with their day-to-day activities in their homes, communities, and in their relationships.  The Program Manager makes a positive difference in the lives of others as they partner with their teams, stakeholders, and people they support to reach their goals. 

A manager in the SLS department must be flexible and able to prioritize and meet the demands of changes that may occur.

What does on-call look like in Residential Services?

On-call is in place for any emergency, employee calls out, submitting therap reports, or any other situation a staff may need to contact management.

On-call is unpredictable as the manager is responsible for finding coverage for shifts, responding to emergent or nonemerging calls, and directly filling in for shifts if no coverage is found.

Although the manager on-call is responsible for their week assigned, they receive support during the week from their coworkers and supervisor.
