MC Community Services is hiring a Children’s Behavioral Health Supervisor to support BHPs serving children and families across Penobscot, Piscataquis, and Washington counties. This is a full-time dedicated supervisor role.

Why people like working here

We’re a small, community-rooted agency, which means less bureaucracy, more real relationships, and a team that actually knows each other. You’ll find a culture that values:

• Doing meaningful work with kids and families (and seeing the progress over time)
• A supportive, “we’ve got your back” environment, especially when cases get messy
• Clear expectations and direct communication (no guessing games)
• Autonomy and trust — you’re treated like a professional
• A team that includes humor, warmth, and celebrating wins, because this work is heavy sometimes and it helps to have good people around you

MC is also expanding into new service lines (adult services, outpatient therapy) — there’s real room to grow with us if that’s what you’re looking for.

What You’ll Do

• Supervise, guide, and support BHPs working with children and families
• Work 1:1 with children and young adults with a mental or behavioral health diagnosis, to help enrich their lives and achieve their goals
• Reinforce documentation and service quality standards consistent with MaineCare Section 28 expectations
• Help coordinate coverage during staffing gaps
• Keep services consistent and family-centered by supporting staff follow-through and removing barriers for families

What Makes This Role Unique

This is a full-time Section 28 (RCS) Supervisor position. You'll carry a supervisor caseload from day one, with some direct BHP hours built in during the initial transition as you get to know our families and staff. As your caseload of BHPs grows, the direct service hours decrease and your time shifts fully to supervision, training, and quality oversight.

• You'll have a real caseload of BHPs and families from day one
• We have been serving children and families in this community since 2009, with BHPs and office staff who've been here for over a decade. You're joining a team with deep roots, and a strong motivation to do whatever we can to help the folks in our communities.

Do Any Of These Resonate?

• You’re early in your career (or changing careers) and want real supervisor-level experience.
• You’re a BHP (or similar) who wants a clear path into leadership.
• You’ve worked with kids and families in schools, youth programs, or human services, and want to move into MaineCare behavioral health.
• You want to do work that matters.
• You care about doing the work the right way: consistent services, strong documentation, and real support for families.

What You Need

• 2+ years of related experience working with children and families in home, school, or community settings
• Bachelor’s degree in a human services or related field
• Strong communication skills and ability to guide and support others
• Comfortable having direct, professional performance conversations when needed
• Organized, flexible, and steady under pressure
• Reliable transportation and the ability to travel locally
• BHP certification or eligible to obtain BHP certification within 6 months of hire

What Would Make You Stand Out

• Prior experience supervising BHPs or similar roles
• Experience coordinating with multidisciplinary teams
• A calm, coach-like style: you can correct issues while keeping morale intact

Why This Role Matters

In this work, consistency is everything. When a kid has the right support week after week, you can actually see things start to shift at home, at school, and in how they handle everyday life. Our BHPs do their best work when they know someone’s in their corner: helping them think through tough situations, keeping documentation on track, and stepping in when things get complicated.

That’s where you come in. You’ll be the steady point person who keeps our services strong and helps our staff feel supported and confident — not micromanaged.

If this sounds like your kind of role, we’d really like to talk.
