The Role You'll Play as a YCS Team Lead

Deliver case management services to youth and families by building strong, trusting relationships and supporting them through treatment planning, care coordination, and connection to community resources.
Maintain timely and accurate documentation in the electronic health record, and assist clients in accessing essential benefits.
Supervise a team of case managers by providing onboarding, training, and ongoing support, while monitoring productivity and documentation to ensure quality care and compliance with agency standards.
Participate in clinical supervision, program staffing, and relevant internal or external meetings.
Assist with hiring, coaching, and disciplinary processes in partnership with your supervisor.
Provide leadership in crisis situations and foster a collaborative, resilient team environment..
