• Help residents develop emotional regulation, communication, problem-solving, conflict resolution, and daily living skills.
• Support routines such as meals, personal care, school or work preparation, homework, household responsibilities, recreation, and bedtime as appropriate.
• Encourage teens and young adults to practice self-advocacy, decision-making, goal-setting, and skills for greater independence.
• Use positive reinforcement, respectful redirection, and meaningful choices to support progress.
• Recognize signs of distress and use approved de-escalation strategies consistent with training and individual support plans.
• Incorporate approved holistic activities such as art, music, movement, outdoor recreation, and optional calming exercises based on residents’ interests and comfort.
• Support appointments, educational activities, employment goals, and community participation as assigned.
• Document observations, progress, concerns, and incidents accurately and objectively.
• Collaborate with the care team and authorized family members or support persons while protecting residents’ privacy and autonomy.
• Promptly report safety concerns, suspected abuse or neglect, and changes in well-being through required reporting procedures.
• Participate in staff meetings, supervision, and ongoing training.

Qualifications

• Must demonstrate patience, understanding, empathy, and a willingness to meet youth where they are.
• Must be able to remain calm, supportive, and professional during challenging situations.
• High school diploma or equivalent; coursework in psychology, child development, social services, or a related field is preferred.
• Experience supporting children, teens, or young adults in residential care, behavioral support, education, caregiving, or a related setting is preferred.
• Strong communication, observation, teamwork, and documentation skills.
• Respect for different backgrounds, cultures, identities, abilities, and lived experiences.

• Ability to meet applicable background screening and required training standards.
• Current CPR and First Aid certification, or willingness to obtain certification within the required onboarding timeframe.

Our Holistic Touch

At Soul Therapy Holistic Healthcare™, we recognize the person behind the behavior. We approach challenges with curiosity and compassion, understanding that behavior can communicate stress, unmet needs, or skills still being developed.

We value small steps, celebrate individual progress, and create opportunities for connection and belonging. Meeting youth where they are means listening to their experiences, respecting their readiness, and supporting growth without shame, judgment, or unrealistic expectations.

This is a direct support position. Clinical assessment, diagnosis, and treatment planning remain the responsibility of qualified professionals.
