Job Summary

Northeast Arc is committed to providing individuals and their families with superior supports and services that increase independence and quality of life. The Senior Program Director, Independent Living Supports, Shared Living & Remote Supports plays a central role in making that commitment real every day.

This position provides strategic oversight and day-to-day operational direction across four interconnected service areas: Independent Living Supports (ILS), Shared Living, Self-Directed Community Living (SCL), and Remote Supports.

Remote Supports further extend this mission by connecting individuals to the assistance they need through innovative assistive technology, giving them greater autonomy in their home.

The Senior Program Director leads a team of Program Directors and Managers, serves as the primary liaison with DDS and MassAbility, ensures compliance with regulatory and contractual requirements, and drives a culture of continuous quality improvement. This role is a strong fit for a seasoned, values-driven human services leader who is committed to person-centered care, self-determination, and building teams that help individuals live their best lives.

  • Supervises Program Directors and Managers and supports recruitment, retention, performance management, professional development, background checks, credentials, and required training.
  • Leads licensing, certification, utilization reviews, audits, procurement, corrective actions, community partnerships, confidentiality, rotating on-call coverage, and special projects.

  • Minimum of 7 years of progressively responsible human services program management experience, including work with adults with intellectual and/or developmental disabilities; minimum of 3 years of supervisory experience, including supervision of program managers or directors. Experience with Massachusetts DDS-funded programs, regulations, contracting, ILS/In-Home Supports, Shared Living, MassAbility, and/or remote support models strongly preferred.
  • Strong knowledge of person-centered planning, self-determination, Positive Behavioral Supports, community-based IDD services, DDS/MassAbility requirements, assistive technology, and remote support solutions.
  • Strong leadership, supervision, collaboration, problem-solving, decision-making, written and verbal communication, reporting, procurement-response, and corrective-action skills.
  • Knowledge of representative payee responsibilities, individual funds management, documentation, incident reporting, HCSIS, EIM, and Virtual Gateway.
  • Proficient with Microsoft Office and program-specific systems.
  • Valid driver's license and reliable transportation required.
