Are you an experienced supervisor who has successfully managed large grant-funded programs?

Chestnut Health Systems is seeking a Grant Program Supervisor to lead the implementation and daily operations of a federally funded integrated care initiative serving communities throughout Central Illinois.

This is not a traditional project management role. We're looking for a hands-on leader who can supervise staff, coordinate complex grant activities, monitor program performance, manage reporting requirements, and ensure compliance with federal grant expectations.

Working closely with clinical leadership, finance, quality improvement, data teams, and community partners, you'll help strengthen the integration of primary care and behavioral health services while supporting programs that improve the health and well-being of the individuals and communities we serve.

• Own projects from implementation through evaluation while helping shape the future of integrated healthcare.
• Join a mission-driven organization where leadership, innovation, and collaboration are valued.

• Coordinate and oversee implementation, ongoing operations, and programmatic activities associated with the grant
• Monitor compliance with grant deliverables, timelines, performance measures, and reporting requirements

• Ensure timely collection, analysis, management, and submission of program data and required reports
• Evaluate program outcomes and identify opportunities for improvement and sustainability
• Collaborate with finance and leadership staff regarding grant expenditures, invoicing, and budget monitoring
• Ensure compliance with accreditation, regulatory, grant, and payer requirements
• Participate in organizational, regional, program, and interagency committees as assigned
• Prepare reports, summaries, and documentation requested by leadership
• Attend meetings with clinical programs and supervisors to identify operational needs and process improvements
• Promote Chestnut Health Systems’ Recovery Values and customer service standards
• Maintain confidentiality of organizational, employee, and client information
• Perform other duties as assigned to support organizational operations

Qualifications

Required

• Bachelor's degree in project management, business administration, public health, behavioral health, human services, or a related field
• Minimum three years of experience supervising staff while managing large grant-funded, government-funded, or similarly regulated programs.
