The Opportunity:
Provide Afterschool Program Supervision at Assigned School Sites.
Directly supervise assigned afterschool program site operations, including afterschool program personnel. Utilizing a structured schedule, regularly travel to assigned school sites sanctioned as CTFF afterschool programs. Provide support to program site coordinators and tutor personnel, including the communicating and reinforcing of company policy and program guidelines. During each visitation, document your observations of the afterschool program’s overall performance, such as the status of site operations, employee concerns, areas which may need improvement, program successes and accomplishments, and relations with school district personnel. Maintain documentation of site observations consistent with company policy. Submit completed documentation of site observations and recommendations to the program director and immediately report any employee issues that require immediate attention or investigation. Regularly monitor and problem solve employee performance issues in cooperation with program site leadership and the company human resources department.
Regularly exercise discretion and independent judgement involving: 1) the evaluation of observation reports received from program site coordinators where the basis of findings leads to changes in procedures, performance standards or operations; 2) the screening, interviewing and hiring of applicants, including reclassification of existing personnel; 3) the development of methods, procedures and standards for afterschool program personnel (e.g., tutoring procedures, how tutors are evaluated, employee performance standards, procedures related to the interaction with school administrative and district personnel; and 4) participate in the formulation of afterschool program policies within the scope of the job (e.g., afterschool programming, supervision of afterschool program sites and personnel).
Conduct periodic performance evaluations of program site coordinators and tutors, including the planning of long and short term performance goals and objectives. Serve as a mentor to site coordinators and provide supportive consultation regarding the day-to-day operations of their afterschool program. Maintain healthy and productive relationships with school site administrative personnel and school district personnel, such as the school principal, vice principals, related administrative staff and district officials and representatives. Cooperatively work with school site administrative personnel in meeting CTFF contractual goals, fostering a productive afterschool program, representing CTFF through the communicating and enforcing of company policy and procedures, and making recommendations consistent with policy and program operations. Regularly attend and represent CTFF at scheduled meetings at school sites, including school district or county offices of education for which you are assigned. Keep up-to-date with changes that may affect CTFF afterschool programs (e.g., changes in grant funding, budgeting) and communicate such changes to site coordinators with recommendations.
Regularly review and respond to email communications from afterschool program site personnel; following company procedures, complete and submit necessary company forms in connection with changes in employee status, enforcement of company policies, disciplinary notices, site observations and any other related tasks; and schedule meetings with employees, as needed. (Applicable to North and South Regions) Maintain regular attendance record as a requirement in meeting grant funding requirements. Regular review attendance records for accuracy and adherence to grant funding terms and conditions. (Performs approximately 60% of day)
Budgeting (If Applicable)
If applicable, establish budgets for certain afterschool program sites. Allocate appropriate grant funds using discretion and independent judgement as to the financial needs of the programs. Submit reports to the appropriate state agency as to the status of the budgets. Prepare for financial audits conducted by the California Department of Education and School District officials (internal audits). (Performs approximately 5% of day)
Recruitment, Interviewing, Hiring and Placement
As directed, assist the human resources department with company recruitment efforts. Regularly review PayCom for job applicants assigned to your region. Schedule initial interviews of job applicants for placement consideration at assigned afterschool program sites. Make hiring decisions from qualified job candidates and facilitate the placement of new hires. In cooperation with the company human resources department, prepare new hires for their initial job placement. Assign temporary placement of substitute personnel at job sites where employee absences were reported. Reclassify existing afterschool program site personnel as required, such as changes in employment status, demotion, promotion, and job reassignment. (Performs approximately 20% of the day)
