Lead a small children’s group home where your work directly shapes daily life for youth ages 6–17. At RHOG Care Homes, you’ll coach the direct-care team, build consistent routines, and work with the Board to keep the home safe, stable, and well run.

RHOG Care Homes is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that operates a California-licensed children’s group home. We’re looking for an experienced residential care leader who brings sound judgment to licensing and operations and knows how to support staff through the day-to-day demands of caring for children and youth.

Schedule: 20 hours per week on-site in Live Oak. The anticipated schedule is Monday through Friday, 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
On-call coverage: Participate in a shared after-hours rotation for urgent incidents that require administrator input. A designated staff lead oversees the home when the administrator is off-site. We’ll discuss rotation frequency, response expectations, backup coverage, and compensation during the interview.

What you’ll lead

Daily operations and quality of care. Oversee the safety, supervision, and well-being of children in residence and support their education, health, behavioral health, and recreation.
Staff development and scheduling. Supervise, train, and coach direct-care staff. Set clear expectations and ensure dependable coverage across shifts.
Licensing and documentation. Maintain compliance with applicable California Title 22 regulations, Community Care Licensing requirements, and the home’s policies. Oversee records, incident reporting, and documentation for licensing and placing agencies.
Admissions, care planning, and transitions. Coordinate admissions and discharges and work with placing agencies, social workers, families, schools, and healthcare providers to meet each child’s needs.
Budget and administration. Oversee the home’s budget and general administration in coordination with the Board.

What you’ll bring

A current, valid California Group Home Administrator Certificate. RHOG verifies certification before scheduling an interview.
Proven experience as a Group Home Administrator or in a senior leadership role at a licensed children’s residential care facility.
Working knowledge of California Title 22 & Title 17, child welfare practice, and trauma-informed care.
Experience supporting children and youth ages 6–17, including those with behavioral health and educational needs.
Strong communication and organizational skills, with the ability to coach a small team and respond calmly to incidents.
A valid California driver’s license and reliable transportation.
Ability to complete the required background clearance and health screening.
