SHC is a unit within Multnomah County’s Community Health Center. The program provides primary care health care in 9 SHCs in coordination with five school districts: David Douglas, Parkrose, Centennial, Reynolds, and Portland Public Schools, and the Behavioral Health division’s School Based Mental Health program.

As the SHC Operations Program Supervisor, in consultation with the SHC and Primary Care leadership, your duties include:

• Leadership & Strategic Management: You will direct operational activities, including setting policy and priorities, managing resources, and ensuring operations align with organizational goals.

• Human Resources & Diversity Management: You will collaborate with Human Resources on licensing and certifications, and you will proactively manage staffing levels and employee morale. A key part of your role will be to champion diversity and inclusion, showing how it directly contributes to business strategy and successful outcomes.

• Stakeholder Engagement and Quality Assurance: You'll be a program representative, participating in committees and providing expert consultation to external agencies and officials. This involves evaluating the quality of services through data analysis and feedback from clients and partners, ensuring continuous improvement based on best practices and customer satisfaction.

• Compliance and Problem-Solving: You will ensure the program and its staff adhere to all relevant laws, regulations, and safety standards. This role also involves using performance improvement principles to address and resolve issues raised by staff, clients, and other stakeholders, fostering a culture of trust and collective problem-solving.

• Operational Oversight and Planning: You will regularly monitor the status of operations, customer care, and staff needs through direct observation and analysis. You will also use data to formulate objectives, determine resource needs, and create new procedures and protocols to ensure continuous progress and improvement.

• Subject Matter Expertise and Advisory: You'll act as a specialist in a technical area, offering expert advice and assistance on complex issues to both staff and external parties. This involves serving on management teams, contributing to program development, and providing technical guidance.
