Description
RESIDENTIAL SUPERVISOR II
Distinguishing Characteristics: This is a supervisory classification in this series. At this level, incumbents apply learned principles, practices and techniques to assess diverse situations and develop solutions for specific cases. Incumbents perform all the duties of a Residential Supervisor I and, based on assignment, may supervise a larger staff or oversee residents or individuals in staffed group living environments and independent living environments. For incumbents at the Department of Developmental Services, the number of individuals per residence, at this level, is specified in the Collective Bargaining Agreement. Supervision Received: Incumbents receive general supervision from employees of a higher grade who provide instruction, work assignments and performance reviews through frequent formal and informal communications.
Supervision Exercised: Incumbents may exercise direct supervision over, assign work to and review the performance of employees of a lower grade assigned to the residential setting. Incumbents may provide functional direction to intermittent and seasonal staff, vendors and property management staff and/or other employees of a lower grade through advice, guidance and delegation of tasks.
Additional Functions Performed: Incumbents perform the same functions of a Residential Supervisor I. At the Department of Developmental Services, incumbents at this level are responsible for more individuals per residence, as specified in the Collective Bargaining Agreement. In other agencies, incumbents at this level oversee residents or individuals served in staffed group living environments and independent living environments.
Additional Key Accountabilities: Incumbents at this level have the same decision-making authority as the Residential Supervisor I, only the potential impact will be on a greater number of residents or individuals served in staffed group living environments and independent living environments. Relationships with Others: Key contacts and relationships for incumbents include individuals and their families and/or legal guardians; medical personnel and health care providers; residential and agency staff; community organizations; vendors; outside service providers and other state agencies.

Incumbents may work under stressful situations and may be exposed to blood-born pathogens, communicable diseases, bodily fluids or spills, contaminated products or syringes and needles. Incumbents may be exposed to verbal and/or physical confrontations. Incumbents may be required to work extended hours, nights or weekends.
