Job description

Early Childhood & Specialty Services Manager

Join Home of Guiding Hands and help lead programs that support infants, children, and families through early intervention, developmental assessments, therapies, counseling, and life planning services.

We are seeking an experienced leader to oversee multiple family-centered programs that help children reach developmental milestones, connect families with resources, and improve long-term outcomes. This role is responsible for operational performance, program growth, financial management, regulatory compliance, and team leadership across several specialized service areas.

This is not a direct service or clinical role. Success comes from leading managers and program leaders, building strong systems, improving performance, and ensuring families receive timely access to high-quality services.

What You'll Lead

  • Teams that support early intervention services for infants and toddlers with developmental delays
  • Therapy programs supporting young children and their families
  • Developmental assessments and evaluations
  • Life planning and support services for individuals and families
  • Counseling and specialty support programs

What You'll Do

  • Lead and develop managers, supervisors, and program leaders
  • Oversee program operations, staffing, budgets, and performance metrics
  • Improve access to services and reduce wait times for families
  • Drive program growth and service utilization
  • Ensure regulatory compliance and quality standards are met
  • Use data and reporting to improve operational and financial performance
  • Build partnerships with Regional Centers, community organizations, and stakeholders
  • Create systems that support long-term growth and operational excellence

What We're Looking For

  • Masters degree in Human Services, Healthcare Administration, Education, Business Administration, or a related field
  • 5+ years of experience in healthcare, early intervention, human services, behavioral health, education, or community-based services
  • 3+ years of leadership experience managing supervisors, managers, or program leaders
  • Experience managing budgets, operational performance, and organizational growth
  • Strong leadership, communication, and problem-solving skills
  • Ability to balance strategic planning with operational execution

Why Join Home of Guiding Hands?

  • Lead programs that positively impact children and families
  • Opportunity to shape strategy, improve access to care, and drive meaningful growth
  • Collaborative leadership team and mission-driven culture
  • Competitive salary and comprehensive benefits package
  • Generous PTO, holiday pay, and professional development opportunities

If you're passionate about building strong teams, improving services, and helping children and families thrive, we'd love to hear from you.
