  • Monitor personnel file compliance so every provider file is complete and current before any service is delivered.
  • Run weekly open-case reviews and prepare program status reporting.
  • Coordinate escalations: provider no-shows, evolving family needs, and remote-location coverage cases.
  • Support quality control execution, including root cause analyses and corrective action verification.

Required Qualifications

  • Bachelor's degree in a related healthcare or social service field.
  • 5 years of management experience in healthcare or social services.
  • At least 3 years supporting military families or similar populations.
  • Ability to favorably complete federal background screening requirements.

Strongly Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience with remote management of distributed staff or services.
  • Federal or state contract operations experience with documented performance standards.
  • Military spouse, veteran, or military family background.
