Join a Trauma-Informed Residential Treatment Team

We are seeking a Youth Treatment Specialist to provide direct care within our residential behavioral health program serving adolescent boys (ages 12–17).

  • Build consistent, mentoring relationships using trauma-informed and relationship-based approaches
  • Utilize verbal de-escalation and crisis intervention techniques to support behavioral regulation
  • Model and teach healthy communication, problem-solving, and daily living skills
  • Support youth in developing life skills, self-worth, and positive identity formation
  • Engage in structured recreational and skill-building activities
  • Administer medications as assigned and support physical wellness routines
  • Document and maintain accurate records in alignment with behavioral health standards
  • Transport residents to appointments, school, court, or community activities as needed
