About The Position

As a Milieu Supervisor at Bridges Services, you’ll lead a team of School-Based Counselors to create a safe, empowering, and therapeutic learning environment for students with complex needs. You'll provide coaching, crisis support, and oversight of daily classroom operations while ensuring interventions align with students’ IEPs. This role blends leadership, behavior intervention, and relationship-building to help students thrive both academically and emotionally. ABOUT BRIDGES Seneca’s Bridges Services is a unique, short-term intervention program that supports students across Seneca’s four Non-Public-School (NPS) campuses who need a highly individualized, relationship-centered environment to re-engage in learning. Located on a peaceful Oakland campus in a quiet neighborhood with easy access to 580, Bridges offers a calm, supportive setting serving K–12 students with high staff-to-student ratios. Our flexible, multidisciplinary approach allows us to meet students where they are—whether they need stabilization, a step-down from a more intensive setting, or time to reset and heal—so they can build the skills and confidence to return to a less restrictive environment. The name “Bridges” reflects our purpose: helping students move from where they are to where they want to be. ABOUT SENECA Seneca Family of Agencies has been nominated among the Bay Area’s Top Workplaces for nearly a decade.
