About the Opportunity

A Non Profit provider for behavioral health is seeking an experienced and mission-driven ACT Program Manager to lead a multidisciplinary Assertive Community Treatment (ACT) team serving adults living with serious mental illness.

This is a hands-on leadership role for a licensed clinician or psychiatric RN who believes recovery is possible and understands the importance of delivering high-quality community-based behavioral health services with compassion, accountability, and clinical excellence.

The Program Manager will oversee daily operations, staff development, crisis response, scheduling, compliance, and direct client care while ensuring fidelity to the SAMHSA ACT model.

This is not a desk-only management role — leaders are expected to work alongside their teams in the field and provide direct support to clients.
