STRTP Direct Care Staff / Facility Manager / Mental Health Rehabilitation Specialist

Join a mission-driven team that’s making a real impact in the lives of boys ages 6–12. Our Short-Term Residential Therapeutic Program (STRTP) provides structure, consistency, and guidance for youth overcoming emotional and behavioral challenges. We’re building a strong team that believes in discipline with compassion and leading by example.

We’re looking for hands-on, reliable professionals who can provide steady guidance and structure for boys in a residential setting. You’ll work closely with a tight-knit team to mentor, motivate, and model positive behaviors—helping young residents build confidence, responsibility, and resilience.

• Work with therapists and supervisors to carry out individual care and treatment plans.


• Maintain accurate records and reports of behavior, progress, and incidents.


• Support your team—show up, communicate, and contribute to a positive work culture.

What We’re Looking For

• Natural leadership and solid judgment under pressure.


• Dependability—you do what you say you’ll do and show up ready to work.


• A steady, grounded presence who can remain calm and confident when things get tough.


• Experience or interest in coaching, mentoring, trades, youth work, or behavioral support.


• Willingness to work flexible hours (evenings, weekends, or holidays).
