Alternative Wellness Services, Inc • Portland, ME

4h • $27 - $30 • Onsite

About The Position

Lead with Heart. Teach Resilience. Build Professionalism and Team Cohesion. This is more than just a job change; it is a career pivot. If you are an experienced Case Manager or a newly licensed clinician looking to sharpen your professional edge and step into a supervisory role, this is the opportunity you have been waiting for. We need a "boots on the ground" leader to round out our supportive team. You will work hand-in-hand with our Clinical Supervisors, who provide the clinical backbone, while you provide the operational muscle. This partnership ensures that every Care Coordinator feels seen, backed, and empowered to do their best work. You will serve as the vital bridge between our Clinical Supervisors and the daily operations of the team. While the Clinical Supervisors provide clinical oversight, you will be the operational mentor—teaching the skills necessary to sustain long-term commitment to clients, modeling healthy boundaries, and fostering a positive, collaborative and professional environment. The Role: A Hybrid of Leadership & Direct Engagement. This position is designed to provide high-level operational support to our Care Coordinators while maintaining a presence in the field. Your goal is to build a team of professionals who are supported, skilled, and capable of navigating the complexities of behavioral health with dignity and respect.

• Minimum of 3-5 years of hands-on experience in case management or care coordination.

• You want to enhance your professionalism and learn the operational side of care.
• You understand that a Coordinator sets the tone. We need someone with a positive, resilient attitude who fosters deep connection within the team.

Responsibilities
