Lead Service Coordinator
Tri-Counties Regional Center – Fillmore Office
At Tri-Counties Regional Center, our work is rooted in a simple but meaningful purpose: enhancing the quality of life for people with developmental disabilities. We’re looking for a Lead Service Coordinator who shares that commitment and is ready to support both individuals and a team in a thoughtful, person-centered way.
This role is about more than coordination. It’s about leadership, mentorship, and helping others grow while making sure the people we serve receive meaningful, well-planned support. As a Lead Service Coordinator, you’ll partner closely with the Services and Supports Manager, step into a leadership role when needed, and help guide the team in using person-centered practices in everyday work.
You’ll play a key role in supporting your team through training and mentoring, offering feedback, and helping build confidence in their practice. You’ll also help ensure that our work meets important standards by reviewing case records, approving plans and authorizations, and supporting compliance with Medicaid Waiver requirements.
At the same time, you’ll continue working directly with individuals and families. This includes building strong relationships, understanding each person’s strengths and needs, and helping coordinate the services and supports that allow them to live as independently and meaningfully as possible. You’ll be part of planning conversations, connect people to community resources, and help navigate systems like education, healthcare, and public benefits.
This role also calls for someone who values collaboration. You’ll work closely with teammates, community partners, and families, helping create a network of support that reflects respect, dignity, and shared responsibility. Whether you’re stepping in to support the team during an absence or helping facilitate planning meetings, your approach will set the tone for how we show up for each other and for the people we serve.
We’re looking for someone who brings strong communication, organization, and problem-solving skills, along with an understanding of developmental disabilities and the systems that support this community. The ability to work both independently and as part of a team, while staying responsive and professional, is essential in this role.
