Help teenagers in a therapeutic setting as they progress on their healing journey. Located near Three Peaks Recreational Park and overlooking Cedar City, Utah, Discovery Ranch South is a relationship-based residential treatment center based in experiential therapy.

As our Teacher's Aide, you will support our Teachers as they provide classroom instruction to our middle and high school age students. It is important that our students continue to grow and succeed academically, even while they are in treatment. At Discovery Ranch South, we believe in a holistic approach: we address not just our students' emotional needs, but also their physical, intellectual, environmental, and social ones. Therefore you will work closely with our Teachers, Academic Director, and other Teacher's Aides as well as coordinate with other departments to ensure we are providing our students with consistent, quality instruction and working together as a unified team.

Often the relationships formed one-on-one, such as with TAs, are the most meaningful to our students and essential to creating deep and lasting change. Being on a committed, close-knit team and helping students who really need you will be your most rewarding and inspiring job yet.

We Serve families and help empower young individuals. Come be a part of the healing journey.
