Director of Operations-Independent Supported Living (ISL) Services

📍 St. Louis, MO

💰 $70,000 – $100,000 (flexible based on experience)


Why This Role Stands Out

This is a unique opportunity to step into a high-impact leadership role with a growing, mission-driven organization providing 24/7 supportive living services to adults with developmental disabilities.

You’ll work directly with executive leadership as a true right-hand operator, helping bring structure, accountability, and operational excellence across multiple residential homes.

If you’re a hands-on leader who thrives in fast-paced environments and knows how to lead teams while staying compliant and organized- this role offers the chance to make a real difference.


What You’ll Do

  • Lead day-to-day operations across multiple supportive living homes
  • Oversee and support house managers, supervisors, and direct care teams
  • Ensure compliance with all DMH/state regulations, audits, and documentation standards
  • Maintain oversight of:
    • ISP/BSP implementation
    • MARs and medical documentation
    • Staff scheduling and coverage across 24/7 shifts
  • Drive accountability, performance, and team development
  • Identify operational gaps and implement process improvements
  • Partner closely with executive leadership on staffing, budgeting, and overall operations

What We’re Looking For

Prior Director-level experience in ISL / IDD / supportive living

Strong knowledge of DMH regulations, audits, and compliance

Hands-on leadership style- comfortable being in homes and working alongside teams

Experience managing multiple locations or residential programs

Familiarity with:

  • ISP / BSP
  • MARs
  • Medical and compliance documentation
  • Ability to lead in a fast-paced, 24/7 care environment

What Will Set You Apart

  • Proven ability to step into unstructured environments and build systems
  • Strong track record of team leadership, accountability, and retention
  • Experience managing state-funded programs and budgets

Compensation & Benefits

  • Competitive base salary: $70K – $100K (flexible)
  • Full benefits package including:
    • Health, Dental, Vision
    • 401(k)
    • Paid Time Off
    • Life Insurance

What to Expect

This is not a desk-only role. You’ll be actively involved in daily operations, supporting staff, and ensuring quality care across the organization.

If you're looking for a leadership role where you can take ownership, build structure, and make a meaningful impact, we’d love to connect.


Apply today to learn more about this opportunity with a growing organization making a difference in the Greater St. Louis community.
