PHYSICALLY FIT, behavioral healthcare personnel wanted.

RIGHT DIRECTION is a company that transports at-risk adolescents and young adults to treatment programs. We are looking for responsible individuals with a flexible schedule looking for supplemental income. This is an on-call position but has the potential to become full time.


Responsibilities:

You must have experience and an interest in working with adolescents and young adults struggling with behavioral, mental and or substance abuse issues.

You will also need to do a considerable amount of traveling throughout the course of your employment.


PHYSICALLY FIT BEHAVIORAL HEALTHCARE PERSONNEL WANTED. NO VAPING OR VISIBLE TATOOS.

As an Adolescent/Young Adult Transitional Interventionist, you and a team member will transport at-risk adolescents from one location to another (typically from their home to a treatment program).

Right Direction is hired by the parents, who give us signed legal authority to safely transport their children to pre-arranged therapeutic programs.

Most of these teens have emotional issues and can sometimes be very defiant. Safety is the number one concern.

You must be aware you might have to restrain the adolescent who is trying to hurt themselves during the intervention.

We use core body holds and verbal de-escalation techniques to gain control of the situation. Employees will always work in pairs. Quite often, employees are given very little notice of a case; therefore, a flexible schedule is a must. This is an on-call position but could become full-time once you are a Lead Agent.
