Posted May 2026

Section 28 is the foundation of MCCS. As we grow, we need steady people who can coach our BHPs, keep documentation and services strong, and make sure families get consistent support week after week.

MC Community Services is hiring a part-time Section 28 Supervisor to support our team of Behavioral Health Professionals serving children and families across Penobscot, Piscataquis, and Washington Counties in Maine. The role starts as a dual role — some direct BHP hours and some supervision — and transitions into a pure supervisor role over time. It's a great first step into leadership in a small, growing agency.

Why MC Community Services

We are a small, community-rooted Mental Health Agency in Lincoln, Maine. Section 28 is where MCCS started, and the program has grown alongside the families we support since 2009. As a supervisor here you'll work directly with our leadership team on the decisions that shape the program — caseload sizing, training paths for BHPs, the boundaries of what we can take on. The role offers a real growth path into program management or clinical leadership as the agency continues to expand.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the supervisor role oversee?

You support and guide a team of Behavioral Health Professionals delivering Section 28 services across Penobscot, Piscataquis, and Washington Counties. That includes coaching BHPs, reinforcing documentation and service quality, coordinating coverage during staffing gaps, and helping families get consistent support. The role starts as a dual BHP + supervisor role and grows into a full supervisor role over time.

What credentials do I need?

A bachelor's degree in human services or a related field, plus BHP certification — or eligibility to obtain BHP certification within one year. You do not need a clinical license (LCSW/LCPC) for this role. Clinical sign-off on treatment plans is handled by our Clinical Director; this supervisor role is about supporting and coaching the BHP team.

Do I need previous supervisory experience?

No. Prior experience supervising BHPs is a plus, but we will support the right candidate who brings solid experience working with children and families and the desire to step into leadership. This is a great first leadership role — many of our supervisors came up through direct service themselves.

How big is the team?

Our BHP team has been growing alongside demand. The supervisor manages a caseload of BHPs sized for genuine relationships and ongoing professional development — not a span of control that turns supervision into a checkbox.

Is this an in-office role or hybrid?

Hybrid. The role is based out of our Lincoln, Maine office with regular community-based work — meeting BHPs in the field, joining intake meetings at clients' homes, and coordinating with schools and providers. Some administrative work and supervision sessions can happen via telehealth or office time.

What's the path for growth from this role?

MCCS is a small, growing agency. Supervisors have stepped into program-management, clinical-leadership, and operations roles over the years. We are intentional about creating internal career growth as the agency expands.
