The ACES program is currently expanding to Brownsville.

This role will have the administrative responsibility to ensure the program model is implemented to fidelity, supervisors have adequate support to lead their teams and that our participants receive the care they deserve.

Workplace Flexibility: Flexible - (for roles that have days that can be partially remote, e.g., being able to draft notes at home after going to the office/community in the morning).
What You Will Be Doing:
Serve as leading champion and ambassador for advancing the program’s mission and values with internal and external stakeholders
Develop ACES supervisors to successfully manage teams and reach full management and team leadership capacity
