We do this through a focus on positive and healthy relationships, including a core belief that youth need to feel cared for in order to make progress.  Staff learn to work in groups and run activities designed to enhance youth healthy growth and development. We encourage our staff to come up with new ideas for activities and routines and focus on a child-centered, team approach to care.

  • Passing the CORI/background check and having a valid ID
  • Being physically active for an 8-10 hour shift
  • Participating in verbal de-escalation and physical intervention with youth
  • Multi-tasking in a changing and fast-paced treatment environment
  • Receiving and implement feedback in the moment and through a structured supervision process
  • Ability to work evenings, holidays, weekend shifts as required

Qualifications

  • 1 year prior experience working with youth preferred
  • HS diploma or equivalency
  • A passion for making a positive impact on the lives of kids

What The Home Can Offer You

In addition to the chance to make a lasting impact on the lives of the youth we serve, The Home for Little Wanderers offers competitive salaries and a comprehensive benefits package including:

  • Generous time off including up to 11 holidays
  • Health, Dental and Vision Insurance available
  • Extensive training to new staff
  • Tuition reimbursement of up to $2,400 per fiscal year
  • 403(b) Retirement Plan with employer match
  • Employer paid Long-term and Short-term Disability Insurance, plus Basic Life and AD&D Insurance
  • And more!

Impact Corps

Residential Counselors can enroll in The Home’s Impact Corps - a fellowship learning track designed to provide adults with an opportunity to help serve vulnerable children and young adults while gaining industry experience in counseling, education, clinical roles, and leadership.  Along the way, gain new training, hone your skills, and be eligible for bonuses adding up to $5,000 upon successful completion!  

Valuing Diversity

We are committed to excellence in diversity, equity, and inclusion, while simultaneously creating a culture that supports those values. We believe the differences we bring enhance our ability to provide exceptional service and care to diverse children, families, and communities. Moreover, diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging align with our values and our mission to help vulnerable children and their families build permanent, positive change.
