About The Position

At Above Expectations, we don’t just operate group homes — we build environments where people are supported with dignity, compassion, and intention. Our Program Coordinators are the heartbeat of our leadership team. This role is designed for a confident, organized, mission-driven leader who thrives in both structure and service.

If you’re passionate about developing managers, ensuring regulatory excellence, and creating meaningful outcomes for the individuals we support, this role gives you the opportunity to lead programs that truly change lives.
