Job Description

Gilead empowers personal growth, independence, and recovery through improved mental health, physical well-being, and community integration.

How You’ll Make Your Impact  

The successful candidate will lead two programs focused on supporting adults in building skills to address the internal and interpersonal barriers preventing them from living successfully and independently in the community.

The position is designed to ensure compliance with DMHAS licensing, contractual requirements, and CARF standards while making a meaningful impact by fostering strong, collaborative relationships with families, neighbors and local community to support a positive and responsive group home environment.  

 Lead high-quality, recovery-focused care  

Oversee clinical and administrative operations for an adult residential mental health program. Ensure services align with Gilead’s mission and recovery principles, with an emphasis on trauma-informed, person-centered care. Guide admissions, service planning, and discharge processes to maximize impact and maintain fiscal stability. Ensure provision of evidence-based best treatment modalities, trauma informed and culturally sensitive clinical care.  

Strengthen teams and elevate clinical practice  

Supervise and develop clinical and program staff, ensuring strong performance and continuous growth. Oversee staffing levels, hiring, and retention efforts in partnership with Human Resources. Develops a positive, supportive work environment that promotes staff engagement and job satisfaction.    

Navigate regulatory and system complexity  

Monitors and maintains compliance with contractual and licensing requirements (DMHAS, CARF, DPH, etc.) and, especially, with Medicaid Rehab Option billing requirements. Build and maintain relations with clinical and managed care system partners. Responds to after-hours needs on a rotating on-call basis to support program continuity and risk management.

Looking for a meaningful change from the corporate healthcare model. You are ready to reconnect with the heart of mental health services work in setting where client care (not just revenue targets) drives the work.    

Grounded and relational: You connect naturally with clients and the staff who support them. You prefer being present in programs and communities versus leading from behind a desk.    

Flexible, adaptive, and steady in complexity: You can navigate clinical nuance, regulatory requirements, operational demands with confidence while balancing multiple priorities and the human realities at the same time.    

What You Bring:  

Master’s degree required. Must hold (or be eligible for) CT associate-level clinical licensure and be working toward full licensure (LCSW, LPC, LMFT), with 6+ years of experience in the field of mental health and addictions. Experience in administrative supervision. Union and previous program oversight experienced preferred. A calm, steady presence to a fast-paced program for adults, ability to manage competing needs and lead effectively in a dynamic and demanding environment. Experience with severe and prolonged mental illness, and substance abuse disorders through supervision, staff training, education, and program development. A hands-on, engaged leader who thrives in a dynamic, 24/7 environment that is comfortable rolling up your sleeves, supporting the staff and participants. A valid driver’s license and automobile insurance.  

 

We Offer:  

Starting salary of $83,000 to $93,000 annually. Generous paid time off (up to 4 weeks paid vacation, 13 holidays, 2 paid personal days, 12 sick days). Truly affordable medical, dental and vision benefits that save you nearly 50% more than the national average.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
