The ED will be responsible for the entire operation of the FB Clubhouse, and for ensuring that the International Standards for Clubhouse Programs set forth by Clubhouse International are followed.  There are currently approximately 320 Clubhouses worldwide in 34 countries.  There are currently two accredited Clubhouses in Houston, but none in Fort Bend County.

Job Type: Full-time

San Antonio Clubhouse is seeking an energetic and dedicated individual to serve as our Clubhouse Program Manager, overseeing the daily operations of our Clubhouse Work-Ordered Day (WOD) program.  You’ll work with, and receive support from, the rest of the organization’s management team (Executive Director, CFO, Operations Director), but you’d be the individual primarily responsible for managing the Clubhouse WOD program. 

Background of San Antonio Clubhouse

The San Antonio Clubhouse is an independent 501(c)3 non-profit, not associated with an auspice agency.  We’ve been operating for 14 years and recently moved into a new 20,000 square-foot two-story building.  The Clubhouse Work Ordered Day program is housed on the first floor (10,000 Square Feet), with the second floor reserved for new programming in the future.  We are Accredited and actively participate in all Clubhouse International activities, including national and international conferences, and Colleague Training (on a yearly basis).

What we look like today

• Over 2,000 members
• 650 members who’ve participated in the past 24 months
• 454 members who’ve participated in the past 12 months
• 229 members who are active (participated in last 90 days)
• Approximately 45-55 members attending daily
• 3 units
  • Operations – 3 Generalists (Culinary, Wellness, Facilities)
  • Member Services – 3 Generalists (Employment, Member Services / Onboarding, Member Readiness)
  • Media Lab – 2 Generalists (Multimedia Coach and Mission Systems Coach)
  • An active consulting service (the Assistance and Management Program), through which we help other clubhouses, primarily in Texas
  • Highly-systemized, with custom technology for data-tracking, case management, and outcomes reporting—all of which is done by our members as part of the Work-Ordered Day
  • No Medicaid billing (today), and only minimal state / county reporting
  • Annual budget: ~$900K—almost entirely raised through private donors and foundations

Where we’re headed

Our vision for the San Antonio Clubhouse is to be the hub of mental health recovery in San Antonio.  For 14 years, our non-profit (the San Antonio Clubhouse, Inc) has only operated one program: the Clubhouse Work-Ordered Day (WOD) program.  To meet the goals set forth in our Strategic Plan, we will begin adding additional services to our overall non-profit organization, meaning that the Clubhouse Work-Ordered Day program will be only one of the programs offered by the organization. 

Our intention is to create these programs outside of the Clubhouse WOD program to keep fidelity to the Clubhouse model.  The Clubhouse WOD is the reason we exist—the new programs will be created to supplement or complement the WOD program.  These new programs may include:

• A young-adults program
• A day program that is less rigorous than the clubhouse (for adults who are not ready to be in a clubhouse environment)
• A social-enterprise program focused on creating paying jobs for adults living with mental illness.

What makes the San Antonio Clubhouse different from other clubhouses

The San Antonio Clubhouse is unique.  Here are a few of the things that make us unique:

• We’re independent from any auspice agencies, so we have incredible flexibility in what we do and how we operate.
• We have a culture of innovation and creativity.  Because of our flexibility, we’re able to try new projects (like a social enterprise to market/sell coffee) or create new units (a development/fundraising unit).  We value good ideas, regardless of where they originate.  We’re exploring the addition of several new programs over the next 12 months, including the creation of our own Farmer’s Market (for non-profits), an urban-farming team, and a unit focused on managing databases for other clubhouses
• We value the experience of our staff members as much as the experience of our members.  In the past year, we’ve cut the “required” staff work hours from 40 to 37.5 without lowering salaries. We’ve also made changes meant to reduce “burnout” and improve staff morale
• We have a unique role in the clubhouse world, working as both a clubhouse and a service provider to other clubhouses.  We provide technical assistance, consulting, and technology support to other clubhouses (primarily in Texas), but in other cities as well.  We love what we do at our clubhouse and enjoy helping other clubhouses grow

Expectations of the Program Manager

As the Clubhouse Program Manager, you’d:

• Lead our clubhouse
  • Ensure we deliver the best experience to our members and staff
  • Be responsible for setting the emotional tone of the Clubhouse
  • Pro-actively work with the rest of the organization’s management team to identify potential issues and to find positive solutions
  • Lead by example, modeling energy and enthusiasm, compassion, teamwork, perseverance, and creativity
  • Be an independent thought-leader
    • Work with very minimal direction, but with support from the rest of the organization’s management team
    • Balance the collaborative nature of clubhouse and the requirements of being a leader and manager—do high-quality work, on time.
    • Be flexible and responsive to the changing needs of the overall organization (the other programs outside of clubhouse)
    • Make good decisions through a combination of analysis, wisdom, experience, and judgement.
    • Balance the big picture with the “day-to-day”
      • Be willing to think through how we would implement new ideas, even if we don’t ultimately pursue them
      • Think strategically, anticipate future consequences and trends, and incorporate them into the organizational plan
      • Develop strategies to achieve organizational goals and adapts strategy to changing conditions
      • Mentor and develop our staff
        • Build organizational and staff capacity, developing a top-notch workforce, and the supervising protocols and processes that ensure the organization runs smoothly, professionally, and at the highest ethical and legal standards
        • Inspire, manage, and lead, with the ability to connect staff both on an individual level and in groups
        • Be capable of enforcing accountability and learn the strengths and weaknesses of the team to put people in a position to succeed
        • Always be learning
          • Demonstrate a broad experience with the full range of business functions and systems, including strategic development and planning, budgeting, business analysis, information systems, federal and state government funding administration, and marketing
          • Constantly learn new processes and technologies—you’d be overseeing units that do some of the most complex work done in any clubhouse, anywhere

What you WOULD NOT be responsible for

• Data collection—this is, and should always be, primarily unit work
• Fundraising—you’d support fundraising and development efforts through the WOD and unit-work, but you would not personally be responsible for the overall fundraising for the organization
• Working with the Board of Directors—you’d interact with them, but Board relationships are ultimately responsibility of the Executive Director

Job Requirements

• An understanding and commitment to the Clubhouse model and its underlying principles and values
• Ability to work flexible hours, including evenings, weekend, and holiday hours
• Ability to travel both within and out of state, for up-to two-weeks at a time (up-to twice per year) and up-to one-week at a time (up-to 8 times per year)
• Experience supervising a staff & holding them accountable to high standards
• Experience developing new clubhouse programming and implementing it to successfully engage members and staff
• Experience designing processes, analyzing data, and delivering outcomes

Compensation:   Salary range is commensurate with qualifications and experience.  Relocation expenses will be considered

Instructions for applying:   Please send:

• Your resume
• Your cover letter explaining (based on what you’ve read about this position):
  • Why you think you’d be a good fit for the San Antonio clubhouse
  • A program idea that you would like to see implemented (anywhere) to better the lives of clubhouse members, with an explanation of what it would take to implement that program and what challenges you’d face
  • What you think is the biggest challenge facing clubhouses today, and how that challenge could be overcome

Send both to: Eric Estrada: Eric@SAClubhouse.org.  Please, no calls. 

The person who is offered the position will undergo a background check, including a DMV record review, FBI and DOJ fingerprinting.

ORGANIZATION

Prime Time House, Inc. is a community-based organization that annually assists over 300 individuals in Connecticut’s rural northwest corner who are living with the challenges of mental illness. Because of this disease individuals often lose everything – their jobs, their homes, and sometimes even their friends and families.  Prime Time House offers them a caring environment where they are treated with dignity and respect. With the support of their peers and staff they begin to rebuild their lives.

Prime Time House will be celebrating its 30^th anniversary in 2018. The annual budget is  $1.2M and the organization operates with a staff of 17 dedicated individuals .In 2016 Prime Time House’s Clubhouse received a three-year accreditation from Clubhouse International.  This accreditation acknowledges Prime Time House’s Clubhouse as a federally recognized, evidenced based practice.

Prime Time House’s services and programs include: 

·      Prime Time Clubhouse: The Clubhouse program focuses on activities geared towards building job skills, social skills, friendships and the confidence to re-enter and re-engage with the community. Prime Time is a Club, not a clinic.  No diagnoses are made nor medications prescribed.  People join voluntarily, as members not patients—they are equal partners who work with staff and fellow members to complete the daily tasks involved in running the program. Like any Club, members feel a commonality and reach out to support one another both in times of celebration and times of crisis. 

·      Career Services Supported Employment: A basic tenet of the Clubhouse model is the importance of work. Having a job to do, paid or unpaid,  significant or routine, gives a person a sense of purpose, of being needed, valued, depended upon.   A major goal of Prime Time House is to move members back into the workforce.  By necessity, the process often must begin slowly -- even taking on one of the simplest task in the Clubhouse can be difficult at first.  But it is the first step in a process that moves members to employment at local businesses. This is accomplished with staff support throughout this transition. 

·      Supportive Housing:  People suffering from mental illness are often at risk for homelessness. This program helps these individuals find and maintain safe, affordable housing.

·      Transportation and Paperwork:  Prime Time House provides transportation to jobs, doctor’s appointments and helps members complete complex paperwork involved with securing benefits.

Fountain House creates a culture that transforms lives.  Our members, in partnership with staff, operate employment, education, housing and wellness programs.  They perform all activities, including advocacy, administrative support, building maintenance and food preparation that keep our community going.  Members hold jobs, graduate from schools, develop social networks and experience fewer hospitalizations and improved overall health.  Increased fulfillment, sense of purpose, and stability inevitably follow.
