Administrator – IHSS Program (Colorado)

Description

Lead the Launch. Shape the Future. Make a Difference.

Venture Forthe, Inc.—a premier, mission-driven Licensed Home Care Services Agency (LHCSA) headquartered in New York—is expanding into the State of Colorado. We're seeking a trailblazing Administrator to help establish and lead our brand-new In-Home Support Services (IHSS) Class B Home Care Agency. If you're ready to roll up your sleeves and build something extraordinary while positively impacting lives statewide, this opportunity is for you.

 Why Join Venture Forthe?

At Venture Forthe, we believe every person deserves to live their best life—and that starts with the people we hire. We’ve served Western and Central New York for 30 years, offering home care, behavioral health, and self-directed services that prioritize independence, dignity, and community. Now, we’re bringing that same heart to Colorado. When you join us, you're not just taking a job—you're shaping a new chapter. You’ll be backed by a supportive, mission-led executive team that values leadership, integrity, and innovation.

  

About the Role

As the Administrator, you’ll be the operational and regulatory heartbeat of our Colorado-based IHSS agency. You’ll oversee compliance with CDPHE and HCPF regulations, lead a dedicated team, and ensure client-centered care is delivered with excellence. This is a leadership role for someone who understands that quality, compliance, and compassion go hand in hand—and who thrives on both the strategic and the tactical.

This position is based in the Denver area or surrounding counties and will require regular in-state travel and occasional travel to New York State. 

What You’ll Do

 

• Lead and manage day-to-day IHSS agency operations while ensuring full regulatory compliance with CDPHE (6 CCR 1011-1) and HCPF (10 CCR 2505-10) standards 
• Oversee personnel lifecycle functions including hiring, onboarding, supervision, evaluation, training, and enforcement of personnel policies 
• Serve as the agency’s primary point of contact for audits, site inspections, and licensing reviews, maintaining readiness at all times 
• Ensure timely and accurate documentation for care plans, incident reports, staff files, training records, and agency policies 
• Coordinate backup care coverage and ensure 24/7 service continuity for IHSS clients, including designating and training alternate administrators 
• Maintain clear lines of authority and reporting, including an up-to-date organizational chart 
• Develop and enforce internal policies and procedures related to quality management, infection control, complaint resolution, and emergency preparedness 
• Supervise the agency’s marketing and public representation to ensure compliance with programmatic and ethical guidelines 
• Liaise regularly with the governing body, agency partners, and community stakeholders to uphold transparency and accountability 
• Oversee internal quality systems, including incident tracking, staff evaluations, and continuous improvement initiatives 
• Maintain Administrator availability M–F, 7:00 AM–7:00 PM, or ensure alternate designee is available during those hours 
• Participate in and complete all required state-mandated administrator trainings and continuing education 
• Perform other related duties as needed to support agency growth and excellence

  

This is a community-based position. While extensive travel is not required, the Administrator is expected to spend time regularly in the communities where our clients live, including in-home visits throughout the Denver metro area and nearby neighborhoods along the I-25 corridor. Occasional travel to other regions of Colorado may be required as operations expand.
