This position serves as a critical operational partner to the Director of Early Childhood Programs, ensuring the Agency Head Start program functions optimally in alignment with Federal, State, and local mandates. The role is designed to support the delivery of high-quality early childhood education, health, and nutrition services to the community.
In the absence of the Director, this role assumes full responsibility for staff management and departmental operations. The incumbent acts as a liaison between the Head Start Advisory Committee, Policy Councils, and external agencies, ensuring compliance with the "Open Meeting Law" and facilitating effective communication across all stakeholder groups.
The work environment is dynamic, spanning the Head Start Support office, various Head Start Centers, and community resource locations. A typical day involves coordinating mission support requirements, managing administrative workflows such as grant applications and budget submissions, and ensuring all program activities meet rigorous health, safety, and curriculum standards.
The role requires frequent travel to offsite locations to represent the Agency at conferences, workshops, and meetings. As a key staff liaison, the incumbent provides technical assistance to advisory bodies and ensures proper documentation of all proceedings. The position demands a high degree of initiative and independent judgment to navigate complex administrative and personnel matters, including hiring, training, and discipline, often in collaboration with the Executive Director.
We are committed to building a diverse and inclusive team. We consider qualified applicants regardless of background, race, color, religion, gender, sexual orientation, age, disability, or veteran status.
