About The Position

This professional, field-based position provides clinical supervisory oversight for the Family Intensive Treatment (FITT) program within the Families First Division. FITT is an intensive, evidence-based wrap-around program for parents with at least one child under 10 who are involved with child welfare because of substance misuse. The team includes counselors, Behavioral Health Case Managers, and Peer Recovery Specialists, and services are delivered in the community.

The supervisor supports, coaches, and guides counselors and Behavioral Health Case Managers serving parents with substance use, mental health, or co-occurring concerns. The role ensures services are individualized and recovery-focused, supporting clients in managing their recovery and advocacy. It serves as a subject matter expert on interventions that build recovery, natural supports, coping and self-management skills, personal safety, self-worth, confidence, growth, community connection, boundaries, planning, self-advocacy, personal fulfillment, social supports, effective communication, and rehabilitative skills.

When clinically appropriate, the supervisor provides education about and helps coordinate access to these services.
