Are you committed to serving youth with empathy, structure, and professionalism? Do you believe that every child deserves a safe, therapeutic space to heal and grow? Pathways to Life is looking for a Qualified Professional (QP) to help lead and support our residential team with purpose and compassion.

We’re building a team that shows up every day ready to make a difference. As a Residential QP, you won’t just work in a group home—you’ll help create a healing environment where adolescent males can thrive.

What You’ll Do:

Under the direction of the Corporate Clinical Director, you’ll support the daily operations of a Level III residential group home and ensure services align with person-centered goals. You’ll guide the team, monitor client progress, and help maintain a trauma-informed, therapeutic space for youth.

• Provide clinical oversight and support to direct care staff in the home

• Ensure compliance with treatment goals, safety standards, and documentation

• Facilitate or coordinate psychoeducational groups (e.g., life skills, social skills, coping strategies)

• Collaborate with internal team members, families, and external partners (schools, DSS, medical providers)

• Monitor and assess resident needs—physical, emotional, behavioral—and respond accordingly

• Document progress, incidents, and plan reviews with accuracy and timeliness

• Serve as a consistent, calm presence and role model in the home environment

• Support implementation of behavior management plans and promote positive behavior reinforcement

• Participate in clinical meetings and contribute to interdisciplinary planning

Who You Are:

You are a strong communicator, a steady influence, and someone who knows how to bring structure to emotional environments. You believe that consistency, compassion, and accountability can change lives.

You’re also someone who:

• Leads with empathy, grace, and clear boundaries

• Thrives in fast-paced, people-centered environments

• Knows how to connect with youth while holding high standards

• Understands the importance of teamwork and collaboration

Qualifications (Per NCAC 10A 27G .0203):

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in a human services field (e.g., Social Work, Psychology, Counseling, Human Development)

• At least 1 year of experience working directly with individuals with mental health, developmental disabilities, or substance use needs

• Must demonstrate strong documentation, planning, and communication skills

• Must be physically able to complete NCI-B and CPR certification

• Valid driver's license and reliable transportation required

• Knowledge of trauma-informed practices and person-centered planning strongly preferred

Work Environment:

This position is in-person at a Pathways to Life Level III group home. Flexibility to work evenings, weekends, and participate in on-call rotation may be required based on resident needs.

You’re not just applying for a job—you’re stepping into a mission.

Be part of something bigger. Be the person a child remembers.
