As an integral member of the Hope Solutions leadership team, the HEAR US Clinical Services Manager (CSM) holds a pivotal role in enhancing mental health and peer support services for adults across multiple Hope Solutions permanent supportive housing programs. Residents in these programs have encountered profound challenges, including chronic homelessness, but often have difficulty accessing mental services. HEAR US is designed to provide in-home mental health and peer support services to these adults. The CSM will lead in implementing this new program and supervising the service team to success. This innovative program also requires a leader who can facilitate cross-team collaboration, as the CSM will partner with other managers to address resident needs with tailored programming to support mental health, life skills, wellness practices, stress management techniques, and sobriety support.

 

The CSM's role extends beyond program-level leadership. This forward-looking manager plays a strategic part in partnering with the training team, the DCSS, and the HR Director to conceptualize and deliver specialized clinical training for the Hope Solutions staff. This ensures that service delivery is consistently at its best, reflecting a commitment to both staff development and client care. Embodying leadership, teamwork, and a comprehensive approach to fostering a supportive environment, the CSM contributes significantly to the achievement of Hope Solutions' mission. Through strategic coordination, supervision, and training, the CSM reinforces the organization's dedication to empowering individuals and families toward greater stability and well-being.
