    What youll do


    Working in one of our residential homes alongside our experienced care team, youll implement individual treatment plans tailored to meet the needs of girls and boys ages 12-18 in our program.

    Youll ensure the safety of each child, and manage tasks that create a warm, loving home for kids who need a refuge.


    In addition to supporting normal daily operations of the residential unit, you will coordinate with the Program BCBA to implement focused behavioral intervention based on the principles of applied behavior analysis (ABA).

    You may facilitate social interactions, as well as design and conduct exciting daily small group activities in a fun, engaging environment.

    Compensation + Collaboration

    Were starting team members between $18-22 per hour with a generous benefits package.

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

    Lets be honest...

    We wont 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. Theyre short on trust and sometimes quick to anger. Theyre not used to caring adults who show up day after day.

    But you will. You were built for this.

    Hours: 4 weekdays and every other weekend, rotating between 1st and 2nd shift.


    Qualifications:

    • Applicant must be at least 20 years of age
    • High school diploma required

    • Ability to pivot, bend, twist and stoop while bearing weight of individuals served.
    • Ability to lift 50 lbs. non-stationary weight through the approved technique is required.
    • Subscription to the Statement of Faith of Wedgwood Christian Services and agreement with the goal, purpose, and objective of the agency.

    Benefits:

    • 403(b) retirement plan with employer match
    • Low-cost medical plans with great coverage options
    • Holistic dental and vision plans
    • Pet insurance
    • Legal insurance

    • No-cost, employer paid training and re-certification provided to staff
    • Wedgwood has full gymnasium and state-of-the art 24-hour wellness center filled with a wide variety of workout equipment, available to staff at no cost.
    • Walking trail that leads around the beautiful campus.
