Location/Schedule: This position is located at Faulkner Place, a Secure Residential Treatment Facility in SE Portland, OR. The schedule for this position is generally Monday through Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., but requires flexibility to accommodate program needs.

Cascadia Mission and Vision

Mission: Cascadia Health delivers whole health care – integrated mental health and addiction services, primary care, and housing – to promote hope and support the well-being of the communities we serve.

Vision: We envision a community where everyone benefits from whole health care, experiences well-being, and has a self-directed, connected life.

Program Description: Cascadia operates three secure residential homes in the Portland Metro area. These are homes for adults who experience severe and persistent mental health challenges. Employees work as a team to provide comprehensive services that focus on psychiatric treatment, personal care, skills training, and case management. Our residents are referred from the counties or the state and must either be under commitment or have a guardian. The focus of treatment is on immediate safety and preparing individuals to live in a less restrictive environment. Our work is important, impactful, and rewarding to those we are lucky enough to serve. Sites include Faulkner Place, Arbor Place, and Barbara Roberts House.

Position description: The Program Manager III is responsible for the comprehensive management and oversight of assigned residential treatment programs. This role ensures the delivery of high-quality clinical and medical services in alignment with organizational goals and regulatory standards. The Program Manager III leads a team of dedicated staff, providing supervision, training, and evaluation to maintain the highest standards of resident care. Key responsibilities include monitoring program effectiveness, managing financial operations, ensuring compliance with licensing requirements, and fostering a safe, therapeutic environment.
