**Who are Field Guides**:
Our guides are the backbone to our program. Guides provide supervision, guidance, mentorship, and instruction to our students throughout the week. Guides work in lockstep with our clinical team to facilitate group processing sessions, 4-season adventure therapy expeditions, and oversee weekly, clinical goal work. Guides also help to supervise and encourage academic work. As a guide you will work on a team maintaining a minimum of 3 to 1 staff to student ratio. Guides serve as the liaison to the Clinical and Medical team and are responsible for participating in weekly multidisciplinary treatment team meetings to review each student’s treatment and educational progress.
We offer both a 8-10 week primary treatment option and a short term therapeutic boarding school (2-6 months). Our Guides have the opportunity to work with both programs, which means the ability to experience facilitating different levels of supervision and care. In both programs, guides serve as the liaison to the clinical, medical, and academic teams and are responsible for participating in weekly, multidisciplinary treatment meetings to review each student’s clinical treatment and academic progress. Unlike other wilderness therapy or adventure programs where similar positions are entirely in the field, our hybrid schedule splits each week/shift into 3 days on campus and 4 days out on expedition.
- Multiple members of our leadership team, including our two co-owners, started their careers as guides. Our team therefore recognizes the importance of not only this position, but also strong professional development and encouragement for our staff. The guide schedule is 8 days on/6 days off with personal time and breaks built into each shift._
**Who Should Apply**:
**Interest-** We are looking for talented individuals to join our team of guides. Applicants should have an interest in mental health and wellness and mentoring young people. Because of the high level of clinical training and supervision offered, this position is ideal for those looking to pursue a career in mental health counseling.
**Education-** It is preferred that applicants hold a Bachelor’s Degree from an accredited school with further preference towards Education, Outdoor Education, Outdoor Leadership, Psychology, Sociology, Child Development. Or equivalent life experience.
**Abilities-** Guides need to have excellent interpersonal skills, patience, and should possess a strong desire to work professionally with adolescents and young adults. Preferred strong group facilitation skills, written and oral communication skills, and flexibility in delivery of services.
**Physical Demands-** This position requires sufficient physical fitness to participate in a variety of physically demanding activities, including hiking over rugged terrain carrying a heavy backpack, camping, canoeing, running, etc.
**Other-** Must be at least 21 years of age.
**Summit Achievement** is a licensed and accredited residential treatment center, located in the beautiful White Mountain Region of Maine. Guided by positive reinforcement and the power of choice, our outcomes-focused program employs effective therapeutic and educational principles. We are here to help and have been guiding young people and their families forward in their lives since 1996. Through the process of engaging therapy, classroom academics, and exciting wilderness expeditions, students experience the therapeutic benefit of outdoor adventure-based activities while learning to manage the demands of a more traditional environment.
