BrightPath is opening a new short-term crisis stabilization home in the Twin Cities metro, and we're hiring the Program Manager who will run it.
This is a build role. The home opens in September 2026. You will help stand up the program, train the founding team, take the first referral, and set the standard for how this site operates — rather than inheriting someone else's systems.
BrightPath was selected to operate short-term residential crisis stabilization services for the seven-county metro region. Referrals come through the Metro Crisis Coordination Program (MCCP). If you already know that system, you know exactly what this work is and how much it matters.
The young people referred to this program are in genuine crisis — losing a placement, boarding in a hospital, or at risk of commitment. Presentations commonly include physical and verbal aggression, self-harm and suicide risk, elopement, property destruction, and significant difficulty in school and relationships. Many carry trauma histories, and many arrive with co-occurring diagnoses.
They are also kids. The job is to make them feel safe again — physically, emotionally, and relationally — and then hand them off to a long-term setting that can hold what you built.
Intake and admission decisions. Review referrals within 24–48 hours, assess clinical risk and program fit, and make accept/deny recommendations in partnership with Operations. Coordinate intake logistics and readiness.
Behavior support and clinical programming. Develop initial behavior support plans at intake and update them at least every two weeks based on data. Track and analyze interfering behaviors. Train staff to implement plans with fidelity.
Crisis response leadership. Direct staff response during escalation. Hold the line on consistent, least-restrictive de-escalation. Review incidents within 24 hours and adjust programming accordingly.
Data and outcomes. Build and maintain behavior tracking systems. Read the trends and adjust interventions in real time. Report outcomes to internal leadership and county partners.
Transition planning. Start at intake. Coordinate with case managers, families, guardians, and receiving providers. Participate in recurring interdisciplinary team meetings. Drive timely, durable discharges — including shadowing, training, and warm handoffs to the next provider.
Team leadership. Train, coach, and develop the Behavior Technicians and Program Coordinators assigned to the site. Maintain consistency in service delivery even when staffing shifts.
Compliance and documentation. Ensure documentation meets 245D, Positive Support Rule, and organizational standards. Maintain 24-hour communication expectations. Keep the site audit-ready.
This is a high-acuity program and we do not expect you to absorb it alone.
Salary: $80,000-$90,000
BrightPath was established to enable the freedom to pursue joy by providing quality residential services for individuals with disabilities. We emphasize the benefit of self-determination so that each person has maximum opportunities to exercise choices that guide them on the path to maximum independence — embracing, supporting, and honoring each person's individuality in a setting integrated in the community.
We operate licensed adult CRS programs, children's foster care residential sites for rate-exception youth, and crisis respite services. Few providers in Minnesota work across all three, which is exactly why we can stabilize someone quickly and move them into the right long-term placement instead of holding them indefinitely.
If you've been waiting for a chance to build a crisis program the way it should be built — with clinical infrastructure, real staffing depth, and a leadership team that solves problems together — we want to meet you. Help us light the path to a brighter future.
