• Daily Operations: You must be willing to clean and cook. This includes meal preparation and maintaining a high standard of cleanliness within the home.

3. Documentation & Reporting

• Experience: Previous experience with youth in a residential setting or crisis mental health is highly preferred.
• Competency: Ability to work independently with little to no supervision while managing multiple priorities.
• Mindset: A "no-excuses" attitude. You see a problem, you fix it.
• Background: Must be able to pass a comprehensive background check and fingerprinting.

What We Offer

• A fast-paced, high-impact environment where your work directly changes lives.
• The opportunity to work within a Veteran-Owned, Woman-Owned business dedicated to youth development.
