Job Description

Developmental Care Specialist (Full-Time) - VanderArk Program

What you’ll do

Working in one of our residential homes alongside our experienced care team, you’ll implement individual treatment plans tailored to meet the needs of boys ages 12-18 in our program. You’ll ensure the safety of each child, and manage tasks that create a warm, loving home for kids who need a refuge.

In addition to supporting normal daily operations of the residential unit, you will coordinate with the Program BCBA to implement focused behavioral intervention based on the principles of applied behavior analysis (ABA). You may facilitate social interactions, as well as design and conduct exciting daily small group activities in a fun, engaging environment.

Compensation + Collaboration

We’re starting team members up to $22.50 per hour with a generous benefits package. You’ll join a passionate, purposeful, and collaborative team who is committed to doing what it takes to give youth a brighter future.

Where healing begins.

The teens who come to live at Wedgwood often have little sense of what a loving home feels like. As a Wedgwood Shift Supervisor, you can help instill the compassion, self-worth, and optimism that our residents need to overcome their trauma, addiction, and behavioral health issues. You’ll work alongside our expert clinical care team to mentor residents, building relationships utilizing trauma-informed care techniques, helping them develop healthy life skills, and teaching teens to use their voices for position outcomes. By consistently showing up for our residents, you can help transform lives and have an impact on generations to come.
