What are the responsibilities and job description for the Residential Counselor position at Stevens Treatment Center?
Stevens does not mandate or force shifts!
At Stevens Treatment Programs, we provide residential, educational, and therapeutic services to adolescents with significant behavioral problems and/or mental health struggles, often as a result of prior trauma or other adverse childhood experiences. The youth in our care benefit from the safety and consistency of a structured, trauma-informed living and learning environment. Our dedicated and passionate teams empower youth to lead successful lives through high-quality treatment and education, in a safe and nurturing environment.
Our Residential Counselors are a dynamic group of caregivers who work in the residences, nurturing and mentoring trauma-impacted youth while guiding them through their daily routines. They collaborate with our master’s-level clinicians and education professionals to implement individual treatment plans designed to prepare youth to return to their communities with the personal coping skills and resiliency needed to thrive.
We’re looking for people with a passion for helping others. Our most successful and effective Residential Counselors are patient, empathetic, reliable, and consistent. They’re dedicated professionals with a “first responder” mindset and a personal commitment to keeping others safe during times of crisis. They know that this work is difficult, but they also know that the potential to make a lasting, positive impact on a child’s life is far greater.
