About the Role

A key aspect of the position involves maintaining the financial viability of the program while ensuring strict compliance with external contract requirements, federal and state guidelines, and Montana Medicaid rules.

You will be comfortable engaging with youth and families both in person and via telehealth, intervening in crises with calm and appropriate measures that prioritize the safety of both staff and youth. Success in this role requires a team-first mindset, defining success collectively rather than individually, and maintaining professional therapeutic boundaries and confidentiality.
