About the Overnight Awake position:

The Part Time and Full-Time Overnight Awake position at BlueRock Behavioral Health offers a meaningful opportunity to make a difference in the lives of adolescents during non-traditional hours. Overnight Awake Counselors play a vital role in creating and maintaining a safe, structured, and emotionally supportive environment while clients are asleep. This position requires full alertness throughout the night, with readiness to respond to any needs, behavioral issues, or emergencies that may arise, ensuring that each client receives consistent care and support around the clock.

Your responsibilities will include conducting safety checks every 15 minutes, implementing emotional regulation strategies when needed, and providing behavior management or crisis intervention as situations unfold.

In this role, you’ll also maintain accurate written and/or electronic records in accordance with regulatory and program guidelines, follow all safety protocols including level-of-care watches, and build respectful, supportive rapport with clients, staff, and local emergency services.

This position is ideal for individuals who are dependable, calm under pressure, and passionate about trauma-informed care. As a key member of our treatment team, you’ll contribute to the highest level of clinical support and safety for the youth in our care—ensuring that even during the quietest hours, they are never alone.
