Behavior Services Team Co-Lead

Description

The Co-Leads of Behavior Support Services jointly oversee the operation, quality, compliance, and continuity of the Behavior Support Services program. Together, they direct the development and implementation of individualized Behavior Support Plans that reflect the needs, preferences, family circumstances, and daily activities of each individual served. The Co-Leads collaborate with interdisciplinary team members, supervise and mentor Behavior Clinicians, maintain a reduced clinical caseload, and ensure services are delivered in accordance with applicable requirements, agency policies, approved plans, and professional best practices.

The Co-Leads work collaboratively and share responsibility for the overall performance, quality, compliance, and continuity of the program.

Each Co-Lead remains individually accountable for assigned responsibilities, timely completion of work, accurate documentation, communication of concerns, and appropriate follow-through.

Work assignments may be divided based on program needs, expertise, geographic coverage, workload, or direction from the supervising Director.

Matters that cannot be resolved collaboratively, or that present a compliance, safety, personnel, rights, or service-delivery risk, must be promptly elevated to the supervising Director.

Jointly provide day-to-day supervision, leadership, coaching, and formal work direction to assigned Behavior Clinicians.

Assign, coordinate, and review work to support equitable workload distribution, timely service delivery, regulatory compliance, and continuity of operations.

Hold assigned staff accountable for quality standards, commitments, deadlines, documentation requirements, billing expectations, and internal and external service expectations.

Review and approve employee timesheets, leave requests, schedules, and other supervisory documentation, as assigned by the supervising Director.

Coach and develop Behavior Clinicians; complete 90-day and annual evaluations; provide constructive feedback; and establish follow-up expectations when improvement is needed.

Review data collection, prepare quarterly behavior reports for team meetings, identify trends, and recommend changes.
