Mental Health Operations Supervisor
About The Position
Lead a Growing Mental Health Program that Changes Lives! At Wood Violet Recovery, we help adults (ages 18-64) recover from substance use disorders, co-occurring mental health challenges, and other mental health concerns. Located in the scenic hills of Dodgeville, WI—just 45 minutes from Madison—our voluntary residential program provides hope, healing, and lasting recovery. As our Mental Health program continues to grow, we're looking for a Mental Health Program Manager to provide operational leadership while serving as a clinical resource and advocate for both clients and staff. This role partners closely with therapists, nursing, and executive leadership to ensure high-quality programming, support our Mental Health Technicians, and continuously improve the client experience. While a strong clinical background is important, this position is primarily focused on program leadership rather than maintaining an ongoing therapy caseload.
Requirements
- Bachelor's degree required.
- Clinical experience working with individuals experiencing mental health and/or substance use disorders.
- Supervisory or leadership experience in a behavioral health, mental health, or residential treatment setting.
- Strong understanding of trauma-informed care, crisis intervention, and recovery-oriented treatment.

- Excellent communication, organization, and leadership skills.
- Experience coaching and developing frontline staff.
- Valid driver's license.
- CPR/First Aid certification (or willingness to obtain).
