As a Residential House Manager, you will provide leadership and oversight for the day-to-day operations of assigned residential services, including 24-hour licensed group homes, and in-home and community-based supports. You will ensure that services are delivered safely, consistently, and in a manner that reflects each individual's goals, preferences, choices, and needs.

This is a hands-on leadership role that combines staff supervision, program coordination, quality management, and person-centered support. You will coach and develop Direct Support Professionals (DSPs), oversee daily program operations, monitor the quality of services, and work collaboratively with families, guardians, clinical and nursing teams, senior leadership, and BHDDH.

Most importantly, you will help ensure that the individuals we support have meaningful opportunities to build independence, strengthen relationships, participate in their communities, and make choices about their everyday lives.
