Residential Program Manager

Starting Salary: $56,000 per year

Ready to make an impact and lead an incredible team? As our Program Manager, you’ll be the heartbeat of the program — guiding staff, shaping services, and helping create a therapeutic environment where young people can truly thrive.

If you’re the kind of person who can keep a team inspired, a schedule on track, and a youth-centered space running smoothly… keep reading. This might be your next calling.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Leading the team — You’ll provide direct supervision to program staff and make sure services are delivered with excellence.
• Creating a therapeutic environment — You’ll monitor the milieu to ensure every youth’s treatment plan is supported with care and consistency.
• Keeping communication flowing — You’ll help departments stay connected and collaborate with outside agencies when needed.

If you’re nodding along, you’re already halfway there.

What You’ll Need to Bring

• A bachelor’s degree plus two years of experience in a child-caring facility
• Leadership skills that inspire, mentor, and motivate

• Flexibility to support the needs of the program and the youth we serve
• A valid driver’s license 

What We Believe

At Maryhurst, diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging aren’t buzzwords — they’re the foundation of who we are. We celebrate every colleague’s unique identity, whether it’s ability, orientation, ethnicity, faith, or gender.

This is a place where you can show up as you — fully, authentically, unapologetically. And we’re committed to making sure everyone else can do the same.

Our core values — Mercy, Reconciliation, Individual Worth, and Zeal — guides everything we do. 

If those resonate with you, you’ll feel right at home.

 

A Little About Maryhurst

Maryhurst serves children and families who need us most. Our programs work together to break cycles of abuse, restore hope, and build brighter futures:

• Residential programs that help youth heal and transition to stable homes
• Community and transitional living programs that equip survivors with tools for independence
• Maryhurst Renewal, offering counseling and support for children, adults, and families in office, home, and school settings

If you’re passionate about helping young people reclaim their futures, you’ll be joining a mission that matters.

All persons applying for these positions must be willing and able to perform "Safe Crisis Management", a technique used to restrain or transport a resident who has temporarily lost control of their behavior. Maryhurst provides extensive training opportunities for all employees who will have direct contact with the clients.
