What is a weekend counselor?

A Weekend Counselor provides support and guidance to individuals in a residential or treatment setting on weekends. They help with daily activities, crisis intervention, emotional support, and enforcing program rules. Their role is crucial in maintaining a safe and structured environment while assisting clients in achieving personal growth and stability.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a weekend counselor, and why are they important?

Weekend Counselors should possess a background in counseling, psychology, or social work, frequently supported by relevant degrees or certifications such as CPR/First Aid. Familiarity with case management software and documentation systems is often required, and certain employers may prefer experience with specific therapeutic modalities. Outstanding communication, empathy, crisis intervention, and adaptability are standout soft skills for this role. These competencies are crucial to providing effective support, ensuring client safety, and facilitating constructive weekends in residential or camp environments.

What are the typical responsibilities of a weekend counselor, and how does the weekend schedule impact the work?

Weekend Counselors typically supervise and support clients or residents during weekend shifts, facilitate group or recreational activities, and respond to any emergencies or conflicts that arise outside of standard weekday hours. The weekend structure often means working with a smaller team, requiring strong autonomy and proactive communication to maintain a safe, supportive environment. Counselors are also responsible for documenting incidents, partnering with other staff for shift handovers, and ensuring the continuity of care for all participants. This role is ideal for professionals seeking flexible hours and meaningful, hands-on experience in human services. While weekends can present unique challenges, such as managing unexpected situations with limited onsite supervision, it offers valuable opportunities to develop leadership and crisis management skills.

NOLA Detox is a private addiction and mental health treatment center offering premium, patient-centered care in New Orleans - and we're expanding soon to a brand-new facility in Slidell. We're not a one-size-fits-all program. Patients come to us from across the region because we combine top-tier clinical care, a supportive environment, and a setting that truly feels safe and human.
We are currently hiring therapists to join our growing team. Whether you're fully licensed or working under supervision, this is an opportunity to do meaningful clinical work in a professional, compassionate, and collaborative setting.

  • We offer excellent health benefits, generous paid time off, and a team culture that values people over productivity.

What You'll Do
  • Lead individual and group therapy sessions
  • Conduct biopsychosocial assessments and treatment planning
  • Complete documentation and participate in weekly team meetings
  • Support discharge planning and, when needed, family systems work
  • Be part of a team that shares responsibility, supports each other, and works with purpose

What We're Looking For
  • Licensed or provisionally licensed therapists (LPC, PLPC, LCSW, LMSW, LAC, CAC)
  • Experience with or strong interest in addiction and co-occurring disorders
  • Strong ethics, compassion, and a desire to grow professionally
  • Available for full-time or part-time weekend shifts

Compensation
  • Full-time salary range: $45,000 - $65,000 depending on experience and licensure
  • Part-time/weekend pay: Competitive and based on licensure
  • Full-time roles include health, dental, vision, and life insurance as well as paid time off

Locations:
  • New Orleans (Algiers) - Established flagship facility
  • Slidell - Brand-new facility opening soon

We welcome applicants of all backgrounds, including those with lived experience or nontraditional paths. If you're looking for a place where clinical care matters, your team has your back, and your growth is part of the plan - we'd love to hear from you.
