What you’ll do
Working in one of our residential homes alongside our experienced care team, you’ll implement individual treatment plans tailored to meet the needs of girls and boys ages 12-18 in our program. You’ll ensure the safety of each child, and manage tasks that create a warm, loving home for kids who need a refuge.
In addition to supporting normal daily operations of the residential unit, you will coordinate with the Program BCBA to implement focused behavioral intervention based on the principles of applied behavior analysis (ABA). You may facilitate social interactions, as well as design and conduct exciting daily small group activities in a fun, engaging environment.
Compensation + Collaboration
We’re starting team members between $18-22 per hour with a generous benefits package. You’ll join a passionate, purposeful, and collaborative team who is committed to doing what it takes to give youth a brighter future.
Let’s be honest...
We won’t sugarcoat this. Some days are going to be tough. Those in our care have been abused and neglected, have histories of mental health challenges, and some are involved in the juvenile justice system. Their trauma is real. They’re short on trust and sometimes quick to anger. They’re not used to caring adults who show up day after day.
But you will. You were built for this.
