The Position
Napa County is entering a period of major change as California implements the Behavioral Health Services Act (BHSA), reshaping how counties plan, deliver, and report behavioral health services. We are seeking a collaborative and detail-oriented Project Manager (Extra Help) to support this transformation.
The Project Manager (Extra Help) position is responsible for managing special and major projects within HHSA.

This position will work closely with Behavioral Health leadership, the Quality unit, and community partners to ensure planning is timely, inclusive, and compliant — while also helping to build a stronger, more equitable behavioral health system for the future.
Example of duties:- Organize and facilitate planning meetings and public events, making sure diverse voices are included and feedback is captured clearly.
- Draft reports and plans (BHSA Integrated Plan, Annual Updates, etc.) and include data on services, workforce, and demographics.
- Develop tools and dashboards to track outcomes, engagement, and program progress.
- Monitor state updates, trainings, and webinars; share key information with staff.
- Coordinate trainings on equity, peer workforce, and evidence-based practices.
- Support RFPs, contract development, and outcome monitoring for BHSA-funded services.
- Track deadlines and deliverables to ensure planning and reporting requirements are met.
- Perform other related duties as assigned.
