Swansea, MA Full Time
POSTED ON 11/7/2025 CLOSED ON 1/6/2026

What are the responsibilities and job description for the Residential Counselor (NO MANDATED OR FORCED SHIFTS!) position at Stevens Treatment Programs?

Stevens does not mandate or force shifts!

At Stevens Treatment Programs, we provide residential, educational, and therapeutic services to adolescents with significant behavioral problems and/or mental health struggles, often as a result of prior trauma or other adverse childhood experiences. The youth in our care benefit from the safety and consistency of a structured, trauma-informed living and learning environment. Our dedicated and passionate teams empower youth to lead successful lives through high-quality treatment and education, in a safe and nurturing environment.

Our Residential Counselors are a dynamic group of caregivers who work in the residences, nurturing and mentoring trauma-impacted youth while guiding them through their daily routines. They collaborate with our master’s-level clinicians and education professionals to implement individual treatment plans designed to prepare youth to return to their communities with the personal coping skills and resiliency needed to thrive.

We’re looking for people with a passion for helping others. Our most successful and effective Residential Counselors are patient, empathetic, reliable, and consistent. They’re dedicated professionals with a “first responder” mindset and a personal commitment to keeping others safe during times of crisis. They know that this work is difficult, but they also know that the potential to make a lasting, positive impact on a child’s life is far greater.

Shifts available:

  • Full-time: 2nd shift & 3rd (AON) shifts
  • Fill-in/Relief Staff
  • No “mandated” or forced shifts! We believe in the importance of a healthy work/life balance, so we never require our team members to accept additional shifts.

Qualifications:

  • High School Diploma or GED
  • Acceptable EEC Background Record check
  • Active, Current and Valid Driver’s License and an acceptable Driving Record per Stevens insurer.
  • Experience working with adolescents in a residential setting or children with special needs is a plus!

Pay Rate:

  • Starting pay for this role ranges from $19.50 to $21.50 / hour, based on relevant experience, education, and schedule
  • An additional $1.00/hour with a demonstrated bilingual fluency in Spanish
  • Potential merit increase up to $1.00 per hour for medication administration
  • Holiday pay available

We’re proud to offer a competitive benefits package to our teams, including:

  • Company-sponsored Medical & Dental Insurance
  • 401(k) plan with employer match
  • Flexible Spending Accounts for medical expenses and dependent care
  • Paid leave and holidays
  • Company-paid Life and Long-term Disability insurance
  • Tuition reimbursement
  • Advancement opportunities
  • Involvement in departmental and organizational quality improvement
  • Opportunities to develop personally and professionally through comprehensive training
  • Supportive, team-based work environment
