Shared Living - Assistant Division Director

The Shared Living program serves 60 adults with varying challenges and ages to become part of a host family, with all the benefits and responsibilities that sharing a life and a household entail. Host families, often referred to as providers or caregivers, help the individual to build meaningful relationships and provide opportunities for them to lead their best life.  We value the diversity and culture of each home and design tailored supports for the provider depending on everyone’s unique needs and preferences.  Open Sky’s Shared Living program allows providers to gain the satisfaction of knowing they are helping someone to develop the tools to live a meaningful and satisfying life. In exchange, Open Sky provides each home a comprehensive support team including individualized case management, clinical, nursing supports and a generous monthly tax-free stipend. 

The Assistant Division Director provides programmatic, operational, and quality improvement support to the Shared Living Division Director as well as the staff of the program. They collaborate with the director, staff, clinical and nursing supports to develop and implement systems and procedures to assist in program compliance, positive outcomes and program growth.
