Description

The Norfolk Community Services Board (NCSB) was established in 1969 to provide essential treatment services to Norfolk residents with mental health, intellectual disability and substance use disorder needs within their community. Our mission is rooted in the belief that individuals thrive best when supported by their community, family and friends. Over the years, we've maintained a strong focus on community-based treatment, driven by the input of consumers, their loved ones, professionals, advocacy groups and government oversight.

Today, we serve over 9,000 Norfolk citizens annually, offering a range of treatment and rehabilitation services tailored to individual needs. Whether it's ongoing support, short-term intervention, or something in between, we prioritize client participation in decision-making and strive to deliver services in the least restrictive environment possible.

As the primary provider of public mental health, intellectual disabilities and substance use disorder services in Norfolk, NCSB delivers a continuum of care that includes outreach, prevention and intensive psychiatric care. Our dedicated team of service professionals brings expertise and clinical focus to these critical areas.

The City of Norfolk is now seeking an Executive Director for NCSB. The ideal candidate will demonstrate exceptional leadership skills and be directly accountable to the City Manager, with oversight from the NCSB Policy Advisory Board. Responsibilities include:

• Providing leadership and overall management of NCSB operations
