POSITION OVERVIEW

The Program Supervisor supports with the delivery of Cal Voices’ contracted peer support and family advocacy services in Placer County’s Children’s System of Care (CSOC). This position reports directly to Cal Voices’ Family Advocacy Program Manager and is responsible for supervising, training, and supporting nine peer line staff and two peer leads, maintaining positive working relationships with County staff and collaborative partners, executing administrative functions to ensure the program’s smooth operations. The Program Supervisor is also in charge of the program’s data collection and reporting requirements and handles the most complicated family advocacy matters within the program. Reliability, accuracy, maturity, critical thinking, sound independent judgment, and a strong work ethic are required at all times. This is a fast-paced work environment where new tasks unexpectedly arise and priorities frequently shift, so advanced organizational skills, personal flexibility, internal motivation, and a sense of humor are also essential. This position must maintain Medi-Cal Peer Support Specialist Certification. Parent, Caregiver, and Family Member Specialization and completion of an approved peer supervisor training are also required.

Cal Voices is a peer-run, grassroots behavioral health advocacy agency. As such, this position must be held by someone with personal lived experience as the parent or primary caregiver of a child or youth with complex behavioral health needs. The person in this position must be familiar with California’s Public Behavioral Health System (PBHS); the Children’s System of Care (including children’s behavioral health services; the child welfare/foster care system, and the juvenile justice system); the Adult System of Care (including accessing behavioral health services for adults); self-help, wellness, resiliency, and recovery concepts; and fundamental principles of peer support and family advocacy. Qualified individuals who have navigated public behavioral health services in any California county, are bilingual/bicultural, or identify as members of traditionally underserved populations (BIPOC, LGBTQ+, veterans, immigrants, refugees, former foster youth, previously unhoused, past involvement with the criminal legal system, etc.) are strongly desired. Fluency in Spanish or another threshold language is also desired.
