SAVIO HOUSE

My time at Savio House was a positive experience. The staff is very supportive and great to get along with. Great opportunities for growth. Working as a Family Therapist at Savio House has been an incredibly meaningful and rewarding experience. The organization truly lives its mission by putting families first and providing the support, structure, and resources needed to create real, lasting change. The team culture is supportive, collaborative, and encouraging—supervisors are approachable, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in your growth. I always felt heard, valued, and respected in my role.

Savio House offers strong training, opportunities to build new skills, and a work environment that promotes both professional and personal development. The work can be challenging, but it is also deeply fulfilling, especially when you see the progress families make over time. My caseload was manageable, and I appreciated the emphasis on teamwork and open communication

Savio is a great organization as a whole with helping those in the community. Given my circumstances as well, I think the company really did their best to accommodate situations that arised to help support me. With that being said supervisors can be helpful and others also come across as helpful but ultimately not. The team I was apart of came across as “family” but then talk negatively about previous employees. Communication with my supervisor was challenging as it would take them hours to respond. Feedback on reports was challenging to follow as some feedback would include “huh??” - leading confusion on how I could improve. The work life balance was extremely tough. Although you have the ability to make your own schedule, I personally found myself finding it hard to separate my work and personal life. This job seems to hire many that have recently graduated from grad school- with the overall crisis work being overwhelming to transition into. 

What is the best part of working at the company?
They are trained to be  professional liars.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The supervisors are not consistent, each supervisor does her own thing and changes the way they do it each week. If you do not write a report, on what they want you to say, you have to re-write it until it is what  they want it to say.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Hostile and unscrupulous toward employees. Supervisors are always right, employees are forced to do therapy one way, and can not have an opinion, it's their way or they are fired. Supervisors expect way too much from employees and do not care if you have a family, The company in it for the money they get from clients.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Supervisors on you all-day and at night to get things done . You work to accommodate their work schedual, and if you dont they talk about you in a bad way.

Starting my new job has been a very positive experience. The onboarding process was well-organized, clear, and supportive, which made the transition smooth and stress-free. From the beginning, I felt welcomed by knowledgeable staff who are always willing to help and patient when answering questions or offering guidance. One of the biggest strengths of this company is the abundance of training opportunities, which makes me feel confident that I will continue to learn and grow in my role. The benefits package is solid, covering important needs and giving me peace of mind. I also appreciate the flexibility that the job offers, allowing me to balance work responsibilities with personal life more effectively. Overall, I feel fortunate to be part of a team that values professional growth, collaboration, and employee well-being. I look forward to building my career here and contributing to the organization’s success.

Savio is a wonderful agency that does great work with our families and clients. The challenge is the expectation of meeting with your families based on their need and the struggle of not being able to set boundaries regarding your schedule to ensure your families are seen. This creates a challenging work/life balance. However the agency does a great job with self-care days and encouragement. Additonally there is flexibility with your day to day schedule. The community work is amazing and families are grateful for our ability to come to them. This of course comes with lots of driving which can take a toll after time. Overall it’s a great agency with some challenges that come with this type of work

I absolutely loved my supervisor here at Savio and I truly did take away a lot of valuable knowledge from my brief time at Savio (about a year). 

I loved the flexibility to schedule your own hours. However, there were some aspects of the job that made it totally unsustainable. The pay rate (which I know can be typical among SW Positions) is pretty unlivable for masters level professionals with student debt. Also, as they mention in their interviews, there is one week per month mandatory on call 24/7 where you need to operate the emergency phone and handle crisis. I thought this was something I could do but I found getting 3am phone calls multiple times a week for cases I knew nothing about it was disorienting and made my life feel miserable.

Savio is a fantastic place to work. I've been in several programs, and each has shown to be supportive, and both client and employee focused. They really believe in helping the community and helping every child get the family they deserve. Relationships both internally and externally are important. The agency also does a great job of critically examining how it's doing through stakeholder feedback as well as internal follow-ups with past clients. With a plethora of evidence based models in all levels of care that Savio offers, they strive to provide the best, most up-to-date treatment options to get consistent, high quality, and positive outcomes for their clients. The Executive Team is dedicated to providing a supportive work environment where individuals can learn and grow both in their knowledge as well as in the agency.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Being able to help families in need.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The paperwork and the pushed idea the job can be done in 40 hours but I worked  more than 40 hours majority of the weeks for the entire time I was there. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Nice, professional and clean with a hint of drama because of the revolving door this place is.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Visiting a family at 7 am , doing paperwork until your next appointment and maing all your meetings and trainings as well.

Savio is a great organization that stays true to their values. I felt supported by my direct supervisor, my colleagues, and upper leadership at all times. The demands of the job are considerable and the compensation is lower than it should be, but it is a great place for clinicians who are eager to be in the community and gain experience head on.
