Site Services Manager

Dec 2018 - Jul 2019
Responsible for managing daily site services for clients with intellectual disability, traumatic brain injury, or chronic mental health waivers by effectively utilizing person-first, individualized de-escalation techniques for interfering behaviors through phone calls or in-person de-escalation for my own site, and for all sites while serving as manager-on-duty. Also responsible for evaluation of site staff’s compliance with company and legal regulations including Medicaid fraud and abuse, and professional development and learning opportunity write-ups. I served as the primary contact for parents/guardians, health care professionals, and case managers for all clients at my site. I also coordinated annual client right-restriction meetings, site-staff meetings, guardian meetings, and shadowing/manager training schedules for new staff assigned to my site. Finally, it was the responsibility of the Site Services Manager to physically work any un-filled shifts at sites within the assigned caseload; therefore, positive relationships and thorough shadowing/training was essential for staff retention. Candeo provided comprehensive exposure to the Agile framework for workflow processes and was the primary tool for communication among the managers. Show less
