Since 1953, UCP Heartland has been providing service to St. Louis and Central Missouri areas. Founded by a group of parents, it is a 501(c)3 charitable organization dedicated to providing supportive programs for people living with a spectrum of disabilities. UCP Heartland serves individuals who have received diagnoses including Autism, Cerebral Palsy, Down Syndrome, Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) and other Developmental Disabilities. UCP Heartland is committed to providing hope, help and progress for people and families in Missouri.
The new President & CEO will have the opportunity to take the helm of an agency with an outstanding reputation, a solid financial footing, and a high-quality, committed staff. The next leader with a collaborative spirit will lead the agency forward with vision and an organizational culture of caring during a time of ongoing changes in the regulatory and workforce environments.
The President & CEO of UCP Heartland will provide executive management of strategy and planning, program delivery, external collaboration, resource development (including fundraising), finance and budgeting, board development and relations, and governmental affairs. He or she will be responsible for leading, managing and administering the agency’s $21.2 million budget, assets of $24 million, 300 staff, and the organization’s base of volunteers. The President & CEO will build on UCP Heartland’s strong record of service, serving and supporting more than 1,150 people throughout St. Louis and Central Missouri each year.

The next CEO will bring vision and a passion for helping people live their fullest and most independent lives possible. He or she will ideally possess knowledge of relevant services and funding mechanisms, including Medicaid and other sources of government and private funding.
The successful candidate will be a relationship builder and will be skilled at guiding a team towards shared success and positive consumer experiences.
