UC Youth Specialist
2 months ago
Requisition #: req13511
Location: Grand Rapids, MI
Hours: Part-time (24 hours/week) 2nd Shift
What it's like to work here
We love God and we love people.
Love like that motivates us to cast a big vision and believe that, together, we can change the world through family.
At Bethany, our culture is driven by five core values:
- We're motivated by our faith.
- We support one another.
- We champion justice.
- We pursue excellence.

How your role makes a difference
Imagine facing violence, extreme poverty, unexpected separation from your family, gang extortion, or trafficking-all before the age of 12. That's the reality for unaccompanied children, primarily from Central America, seeking asylum at the U.S. border. The vast majority have the same wish: to reunite with a family member or sponsor already in the U.S or to prepare for independence in our community. In other words, to know they're finally safe and out of harm's way.
You'll be one of the first to welcome unaccompanied refugee and immigrant children when they arrive at the program, helping them feel safe and assessing their needs. You'll join a team that takes action, providing exceptional care to these children.

- Experience working in a team environment with other professionals who support one another, pursue excellence, and are in it for the long haul
- Opportunities for growth and promotions within Bethany
- Cross training in other programs where possible
- Competitive benefits package (*dependent on hours worked)
- Signing bonus + shift premium
- Low-cost health benefits (medical, dental, and vision)*
- Generous time off (11 paid holidays, PTO Your Way plan that supports work-life balance and wellness, sick time, paid absence banks)*
- Comprehensive employee assistance program
