Weekend Behavioral Health Technician (Empowerment Program)

Chandler, AZ
Full-Time Weekend Schedule | 38 Hours Guaranteed

Make a Weekend Impact by Supporting Youth Through Structure, Mentorship, and Life Skills

LivWell Behavioral is hiring Behavioral Health Technicians for its Weekend Empowerment Program, a structured, relationship-driven program designed to support children and adolescents through therapeutic activities, life-skills development, group counseling, and a safe, supportive environment.

This is not a typical technician role focused only on observation or supervision. Weekend BHTs are deeply involved in helping youth build healthier routines, improve social and emotional skills, and experience positive structure outside of school and home environments.

You'll spend the weekend working directly alongside clients - helping with daily routines, leading activities, supporting group counseling sessions, transporting clients, and creating a consistent, supportive environment from Friday through Sunday.

This role is ideal for someone who enjoys working closely with youth and is interested in behavioral health, psychology, counseling, social work, or mentorship-focused work.

Standard Schedule (38-40 Hours)

• Friday: 10:00am 10:00pm
• Saturday: 8:00am 10:00pm
• Sunday: 8:00am 5:00pm
• Monday: 11:00am 2:00pm (administrative)

Extended Schedule Periods

During school breaks and holiday periods, Sunday shifts may extend to 10:00pm, creating additional hours and overtime opportunities.

Extended schedules are triggered during:

• Fall Break
• Winter Break
• Spring Break
• Summer Break
• Certain school holidays

What the Weekend Looks Like

Friday

• Team huddle and weekend planning
• Pick up groceries/supplies for the house
• Prepare for Saturday group counseling activities
• Transport clients from home pickups
• Help establish weekend expectations and routines
• Dinner, evening activities, and transition to overnight staff

Saturday

• Morning routines (hygiene, chores, breakfast)
• Support group counseling sessions
• Facilitate life-skills and recreational activities
• Create structure, consistency, and positive engagement throughout the day
• Assist with evening routines and house expectations

Sunday

• Morning routines and house responsibilities
• Support clients with preparation for returning home
• Client drop-offs and transportation
• Documentation and closing procedures for the weekend program

Monday

• Complete notes and documentation
• Team meetings and prep for the upcoming weekend

What You'll Be Doing

• Provide direct support and supervision to youth throughout the weekend program
• Build positive relationships and provide emotional support
• Assist with transportation using company vehicles
• Support therapeutic groups, activities, and life-skills development
• Observe and document behaviors, progress, and concerns
• Help maintain a safe, structured, and supportive environment

What We're Looking For

• Must be 21+ years old (required for transportation responsibilities)
• High school diploma or equivalent
• Strong communication, teamwork, and interpersonal skills
• Ability to stay calm and effective in high-energy or stressful situations
• Genuine interest in supporting children and adolescents

Preferred Background

• Experience in behavioral health, mental health, social services, or youth programs
• 1+ year working in a related field preferred
• Coursework or active studies in psychology, counseling, social work, behavioral health, or a related field
• Experience working with children, teens, or group environments

Candidates with relevant behavioral health or youth experience will be prioritized.

Compensation

• $19 $24 per hour
• Consistent full-time schedule
• Additional overtime opportunities during school breaks and extended weekends

Why This Role Stands Out

• Unique weekend-focused schedule with consistent hours
• Highly hands-on, relationship-based work with youth
• Opportunity to build real-world behavioral health experience
• Great fit for students or early-career professionals pursuing psychology, counseling, social work, or mental health careers
• Collaborative, mission-driven team environment
