Contract Manager- Family Advocacy Program Support

We are looking for someone to run our Family Advocacy Program support in Italy.

Job Opportunity: Contract Manager, Family Advocacy Program Support

Location: Europe based, supporting Army Community Service at Camp Darby, near Livorno, Italy

Start Date: Immediate

Schedule: Available 0800 to 1700, Monday through Friday, excluding U.S. holidays

Make a Difference Behind the Mission

• French Consulting is hiring a Contract Manager for Family Advocacy Program prevention education at Camp Darby, near Livorno, Italy. You will hold full authority for the daily operation of the program and serve as the primary point of contact for the Government.
• This role suits a practitioner. You back up the Prevention Education Coordinator, so you need to be able to teach a class, brief a command team, and handle a disclosure. Beyond this program, you will support healthcare program management at our headquarters, including our work toward Joint Commission accreditation.

What You'll Do Back Up Prevention Education

• Teach Family Advocacy Program classes when the Coordinator is unavailable, covering family violence prevention, stress and anger management, parenting, and couple communication.
• Brief units, command teams, Child and Youth Services, and school staff across the garrison.
• Cover individual sessions for walk-in clients and coordinate education referrals with the Family Advocacy Program Manager and the Medical Treatment Facility clinic.
• Serve as a mandated reporter of child abuse, child neglect, domestic violence, and intimate partner violence, reporting within one hour with a written report inside 24 hours.

Run the Program

• Hold full authority on all matters relating to daily operation, and stay reachable from 0800 to 1700 Monday through Friday.
• Write and maintain the quality control plan, the work plan, and the employee absence coverage plan.
• Keep the team credentialed: screening, background investigations, Status of Forces accreditation, installation access, and training.
• Own the monthly reporting calendar and confirm each submission to the Government.

Build the Wider Practice

• Support healthcare program management at our headquarters, across our European programs.
• Contribute to our pursuit of Joint Commission accreditation: documentation, process mapping, and readiness review.
• Carry what works at Camp Darby into our Family Advocacy programs at other garrisons.

Who You Are

• You come from social work, counseling, behavioral health, or public health, and you kept your practice sharp while moving into management.
• You can stand in for the educator on short notice and hold a room of soldiers, parents, or teachers.
• You keep your commitments on a calendar and meet them without being chased, because a missed monthly report becomes a performance record.

Qualifications Required

• Bachelor degree from an accredited university in social science, behavioral health, health science education, community health, or public health.
• A minimum of one year of experience in family and children's services or community organization, including experience in family violence.
• Ability to speak, read, and write English at a proficiency of Level 3 or higher.
• Availability from 0800 to 1700 Monday through Friday, excluding U.S. holidays, with authority to decide on the spot.
• Ability to pass a favorable background check and to obtain a Common Access Card and installation access.

Preferred

• Licensure or certification in social work, counseling, or a related field.
• Experience delivering family violence prevention or child abuse prevention programming.
• Experience with healthcare accreditation, quality management, or Joint Commission readiness.
• Experience managing a U.S. Government services contract in Europe.
• Working knowledge of Italian or German.

Why You'll Love It Here

• A European portfolio with real authority, based anywhere we operate.
• Practice and management in one role. You keep teaching while you run the program.
• A path into headquarters healthcare program management and accreditation work.
