From Home Teen Model Jobs (NOW HIRING)

About the Role

At Alpine Academy, our Coaches partner with clinical and academic professionals to help transform lives. Working in a home-like residential setting, you'll build genuine relationships with teens who need consistency, empathy, accountability, and guidance. Every day brings real opportunities to help young people heal, grow, and develop the skills they need for a brighter future.

If you're someone who shows up with heart, leads with patience, and thrives on meaningful work, this role was made for you.

Schedule & Benefits

Our coaches work when teens need them most - evenings, weekends, and holidays. Because we provide round-the-clock care and supervision for young people, reliability is essential and we maintain a strict attendance policy.

Schedule

• Typically 40-45 hours per week
• Overtime paid at 1.5x for hours over 40
• Company holidays paid at 2x

Benefits

• PTO
• Health insurance and HSA coverage for employee and dependents
• Disability and life insurance
• Retirement contributions paid entirely by Alpine Academy - no out-of-pocket required from you. We contribute 5-15% of your pay directly toward your retirement, and that percentage grows the longer you're with us. It's our way of saying that when you invest in our students, we invest in your future.

What You'll Do

• Provide active supervision and maintain a safe, structured environment for students at all times
• Deliver therapeutic teaching and coaching using the Teaching-Family Model, including role-play, skill-building, and real-time feedback
• Implement individualized treatment plans, behavior protocols, and student goals in daily routines
• Build trauma-informed relationships grounded in empathy, consistency, and accountability
• Support students through daily living activities including hygiene, meals, chores, recreation, and bedtime routines
• Administer medications following Alpine Academy's protocols
• Document student progress and incidents clearly and promptly
• Participate in team meetings, staff trainings, and ongoing professional development
• Work toward and maintain Teaching-Family Model certification

Who We're Looking For

This role calls for more than kindness; it requires presence, confidence, and the ability to lead. Our students need adults who are warm and firm, who can hold boundaries with calm authority while remaining deeply compassionate. If you naturally command respect, take initiative, and don't shy away from making hard calls, you'll thrive here.

We're looking for someone who:

• Leads with confidence and holds boundaries with consistency. Students feel safe when they know where the lines are
• Is empathetic and patient, while understanding that real care sometimes means delivering hard consequences
• Communicates clearly and directly, and stays composed when situations escalate
• Takes ownership of their environment. You notice what needs doing and you do it, without being asked
• Is a collaborative team player who holds themselves and others to a high professional standard
• Actively develops their authoritative leadership style through training, feedback, and self-reflection
• Adapts quickly in a fast-moving environment and brings steadiness when things get unpredictable

Requirements

• Must be at least 21 years of age
• High school diploma or equivalent required
• Valid Utah driver's license and clean motor vehicle record
• Must pass a Residential Treatment level background check
• Physical ability to actively monitor youth, perform restraints, and administer CPR
• Comfortable using Microsoft, Google, and CRM software

What Success Looks Like

Our best coaches create a home environment where students feel safe, seen, and supported. They deliver teaching moments with intention, build relationships that stick, and pursue their own growth with the same commitment they bring to their students.

Why Join Alpine Academy?

We believe our staff are the foundation of everything we do. When you join our team, you'll receive hands-on training, ongoing coaching, and a clear path to Teaching-Family Model certification -all while doing work that genuinely matters.
