$20 - $25/hr

Full-time

Re-posted 17 days ago


Job description

Location: Ellis County / Dallas–Fort Worth, TX (On-Site)
Facility: Phoenix Residential 
The Role
We're hiring Direct Care Staff (part-time and full-time) who are calm under pressure, consistent in structure, and genuinely invested in the youth they serve. You'll be a stabilizing presence in the lives of young people navigating some of their hardest moments — supporting daily routines, co-regulating during crises, and collaborating with a treatment team that takes this work seriously.
This is a full-time, hands-on position. It's demanding, meaningful, and not for everyone — but for the right person, it's the most rewarding work you'll do.
What You'll Do

  • Supervise youth and maintain a safe, structured, and therapeutic environment
  • Support daily routines including meals, school, recreation, and group sessions
  • Apply trauma-informed and TBRI strategies to de-escalate challenging behaviors
  • Document incidents, observations, and progress notes accurately and on time
  • Transport youth to school, medical appointments, and community activities
  • Partner with supervisors and clinical treatment teams on individual care plans
What We're Looking For

Required:

  • High school diploma or GED
  • Age 23 or older (Texas state licensing requirement)
  • Valid Texas driver's license with clean driving record
  • Ability to pass FBI fingerprinting and drug screening
Preferred (you'll stand out if you have):

  • Experience in juvenile detention, behavioral health, psychiatric residential treatment, or group home settings
  • Familiarity with trauma-informed care, ABA, or TBRI
  • Crisis intervention training (TCI, CPI, or similar)
  • Experience supporting youth with IDD or Autism Spectrum Disorder
The right fit looks like:

  • Someone who stays regulated when a youth isn't
  • Reliable, consistent, and strong on follow-through
  • A team player who communicates clearly and documents thoroughly
  • Passionate about youth development — not just clocking in
What We Offer

  • Competitive hourly pay
  • Paid training in trauma-informed care and TBRI
  • Clear advancement pathway into Lead Staff and supervisory roles
  • A team that supports each other and takes the mission seriously
