Professional Team Lead

Bring Your Passion. Be the Difference.

At Appalachian Community Services (ACS), an ncgCARE partner, we are on a mission to transform lives through community-based mental health and family services. As part of our commitment to supporting youth and families across Western North Carolina, we’re looking for an experienced and passionate Intensive In-Home Team Lead to join our team.

You'll help guide a dedicated team of clinicians to deliver care that is solution‑focused, strength‑based, and family‑driven.

If you're ready to lead with heart, empower with purpose, and help children and families build better futures, we want to hear from you.
