The Department of Mental Health is looking for someone to join our team as a full-time grant program administrator for the department's projects under Vermont's Rural Health Transformation Program, a multi-year federally funded cooperative agreement. The main purpose of the Rural Health Transformation (RHT) Program is to support rural communities to improve healthcare access, quality, and outcomes through system transformation. This position will provide professional oversight and management of the funded project(s), serve as the Department's liaison with the Agency of Human Services RHT team, and engage in coordinating activities across the agency to achieve the goals of the RHT Program. The primary RHT project supported by this role is the continuation of the VT Consultation and Psychiatry Access Program (VTCPAP). VTCPAP provides statewide peer-to-peer consultation, resource and referral support, and targeted training opportunities for pediatric and perinatal health care providers to address the mental health needs of their patients.
The DMH grant program administrator will be responsible for the day-to-day management of the Department's RHT project(s) to ensure the activities align with the federal requirements, deliverables are completed with adherence to timelines, and programmatic goals are achieved.
The successful candidate will possess strong organizational, communication, and grant management skills, the ability to work collaboratively with different stakeholder groups, and knowledge of pediatric mental health. The ideal candidate will have worked with federally funded programs and is experienced with grant/contract administration, accurate tracking of activities, progress toward goals, budgets, and deadlines.
The Rural Health Transformation (RHT) project is supported by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) as part of a financial assistance award totaling $195,053,740.44 with 100 percent funded by CMS/HHS.
