The role of the Clinical Services Manager encompasses multifaceted leadership within a diverse team of service providers. With an emphasis on collaboration, this position drives mental health and case management services at Garden Park Apartments (GPA) and Hacienda Heights. These facilities house families (GPA) and seniors (Hacienda) facing elevated risks within a permanent supportive housing framework. Through innovative programming, the manager addresses resident needs with tailored solutions, crafting essential groups that nurture parenting skills, wellness practices, stress management techniques, and sobriety support.

 

This opportunity stands as a beacon of leadership in an unconventional environment, engaging with individuals and families who have encountered profound challenges, including enduring homelessness. Beyond the confines of a traditional private practice, the Clinical Services Manager wields the power to enact enduring change for seniors, families, and children through in-depth, in vivo intervention. Embracing the community onsite, the role fosters enduring relationships with each resident, witnessing their transformative journeys over time. The manager wears many hats - a teacher, mentor, and supervisor, shaping the path for upcoming clinicians driven by the desire to uplift the underserved. The efforts are fortified by volunteers and members of over 40 local faith communities, merging into a robust support system that amplifies the potential for meaningful impact.
