What is a teen?

In the context of jobs, 'teens' refers to individuals who are typically between the ages of 13 and 19 and are seeking part-time, seasonal, or entry-level work opportunities. These jobs are often designed to accommodate school schedules and may include positions in retail, food service, babysitting, or internships. Working as a teen can help develop valuable skills, gain work experience, and earn extra income. There are legal restrictions on the types of work and number of hours teens can work, which vary by country and region. Employers often require parental consent and compliance with child labor laws.

What types of entry-level jobs or internships are commonly available for teens, and how can I find them?

Teenagers often find opportunities in roles such as retail associate, food service worker, camp counselor, lifeguard, or administrative assistant. Many local businesses, community centers, and larger companies offer part-time positions or summer internships specifically designed for high school students. To find these opportunities, check online job boards like Indeed or Snagajob, visit company websites directly, and inquire at local establishments. School career centers and youth employment programs are also valuable resources. Networking with family, friends, and teachers can further help uncover openings that may not be publicly advertised.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a teen in the workforce, and why are they important?

To thrive as a teen entering the workforce, basic communication, time management, and reliability are essential, usually supported by a willingness to learn and a good academic record. Familiarity with common productivity tools like Microsoft Office or Google Workspace is often beneficial, and some positions may require food handler permits or CPR certification. A positive attitude, adaptability, and teamwork skills help teens distinguish themselves in entry-level roles. These skills and qualities are important because they enable teens to learn quickly, contribute effectively, and build a strong foundation for future career growth.

Where can a teen get a job?

Every state has strict laws and age requirements relating to teenagers and minors engaging in full- or part-time employment. For teenagers who wish to start working, the first step is to ensure that they meet all age and law requirements. It may be against the law for employers to hire teenagers to work certain jobs. For example, a family-friendly restaurant may hire teenagers as wait staff, but a restaurant that serves alcohol may not. Retail, food service, and community caregiving roles such as a Nanny or Day Camp Worker are common avenues for a teenager to get a job.

Teen roles typically involve working with adolescents in educational or community settings, requiring some certifications and a focus on youth development. Child Care Workers focus on caring for younger children in daycare or preschool environments, often needing specific certifications. While both work with children and youth, their work environments and responsibilities differ significantly.

Job description

Description:

$23–$25/hour | Full-Time, Part-Time & Per Diem | Petaluma, CA
Day, Evening, Overnight & Weekend Shifts | Shift Differentials Available

About the Role:

Support adolescents ages 12–17 in one of Muir Wood's residential mental health programs—either our girls' mental health program, where approximately one-third of residents are neurodivergent, or our specialized boys' neurodivergent mental health program.

You'll work alongside therapists and licensed clinicians, providing daily therapeutic support, skills coaching, and supervision. No medical or clinical license required—we provide full training.

Our residents include teens with anxiety, depression, autism, ADHD, sensory processing differences, and emotional dysregulation. Our program is designed to support their unique strengths within a structured, affirming environment.

Why Join Us:

  • Direct care role—not a clinical or medical technician position
  • Specialized program supporting neurodivergent teens
  • Full training provided—no prior experience needed
  • Gain experience toward careers in mental health, counseling, social work, or education
  • Work alongside therapists, psychiatrists, nurses, and experienced clinicians

What You'll Do:

  • Provide therapeutic support and skills coaching under direction of licensed clinicians
  • Support teens through daily routines: meals, hygiene, recreation, and structured activities
  • Build therapeutic relationships while maintaining healthy, appropriate boundaries
  • Monitor client safety and provide one-on-one observation when clinically indicated
  • Respond to behavioral and emotional crises using de-escalation techniques
  • Communicate with clinical staff about resident progress during shift handoffs
  • Transport clients to appointments and activities (clean CA license required)
  • Complete accurate, timely documentation per program requirements
Requirements:

What We're Looking For:

Must Have:

  • High school diploma or GED
  • Valid CA driver's license with clean record
  • First Aid/CPR certified (or willing to obtain)
  • Calm, patient, and reliable—teens depend on consistent support

Preferred:

  • Coursework or degree in psychology, social work, counseling, education, OT, SLP, or related field
  • Experience with autistic teens, ADHD, sensory processing differences, or neurodivergent populations
  • Background in special education, residential treatment, or youth programs
  • Knowledge of trauma-informed care or adolescent development

About Muir Wood:
We provide trauma-informed, relationship-centered residential treatment for teens ages 12–17. Our neurodivergent program offers a structured, affirming environment where teens can build on their unique strengths—guided by a compassionate team of clinicians, educators, and direct care staff.

Muir Wood Teen Treatment is an Equal Opportunity Employer. LiveScan background check required.
