Residential Counselors work closely with our residents in therapeutic group homes while maintaining appropriate professional boundaries. New employees will gradually assimilate in to the NCYF culture and we will work with you to help you develop your competencies so that you can fully enjoy our collaborative efforts.

If you are seeking meaningful and challenging work that will provide you with experience to help you achieve a degree in social work or another field of human services, we can provide that for you. You will work directly with youth to implement treatment plans, lead/model activities of daily living and support the treatment philosophy of the program, centered around the trauma-informed care model. People who enjoy providing therapeutic care to youth who are challenged by past childhood experiences are most successful in this role of Residential Counselor.
