Description

At Telecare, we believe the strength of our organization rests in the hands of our employees. We believe having a strong, capable, and motivated team is of foundational importance to the organization's mission of delivering excellent and effective behavioral health services.

They are responsible for overseeing the CEO's daily operational needs, ensuring effective coordination of cross-functional teams, delivery of strategic projects and facilitating communication.

Telecare's Cypress House is a four-bedroom home designed to serve Regional Center of the East Bay (RCEB) clients who have challenging and complex needs, and would otherwise be at risk for admission to acute and locked settings or out-of-state placements. Cypress House is a Community Crisis Home, a new program model in California, created to serve residents with developmental disabilities and serious mental illness. This dual diagnosis home will offer residents a calm, welcoming environment where they will receive individualized assistance to stabilize the challenging behaviors and other factors preventing them from living in less intensive placements. Working within each individual's strengths and developing skills, you can be a member of a multidisciplinary team which will deliver a full range of person-centered services and behavioral supports to help clients successfully transition or return to their preferred community living option.
