Description

Overnight Youth Treatment Specialist (Part-Time) - VanAndel-Summit Program


The Overnight Youth Treatment Specialist is responsible for providing daily care, counsel and supervision to the adolescents living within the VanAndel-Summit residential home.

This program provides services for substance abuse recovery for male and female adolescents ranging in age from 12-18 years old.


Compensation + Collaboration
We're starting team members between $18-$22 per hour with a generous benefits package.

You'll join a passionate, purposeful, and collaborative team who is committed to doing what it takes to give youth a brighter future.


Let's be honest...
We won't sugarcoat this. Some days are going to be tough.

Those in our care have been abused and neglected, have histories of mental health challenges, and some are involved in the juvenile justice system.

Their trauma is real. They're short on trust and sometimes quick to anger. They're not used to caring adults who show up day after day.


But you will. You were built for this.
