Valley-Springs-Youth-Ranch

I work nights. I arrive at 11:00 PM. I check residents hourly to make sure they are secure in their sleeping quarters. I then do laundry for the residents, clean the house they are quartered in, go back and repeat the bed checks and door checks. During the week days I get the residents up to shower and dress for school. I give medications to those that have to take it. I prepare breakfast and/or take the residents to the dining hall to eat. I watch over them to make sure they are eating and not picking fights with the other residents from other houses. I then escort the residents to school. I am off at 8:00 AM to go to my house to sleep (on site). My co-workers come and go, the Ranch doesn't have many people who stay long. The hardest part of the job is the constant switching of employees due to people quitting. The most enjoyable part is watching the residents who come there develop good character and leave the ranch with a better prospective on life.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Free meals and being able to set your own schedule with the kids.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Most staff are related and no matter what they do or lack doing, they never have to worry about getting fired or reprimanded. Also, the kids are not treated equally and some get more consequences than others if they are not "liked" by certain staff. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
There are cliques that if you are not a part of, you are treated unfairly. Gossip is widespread and among the house parents, there are a lot of inappropriate relationships.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Paperwork, meetings with kids, emails and phone calls with administration, caseworkers from other agencies and supervised visits with families.

Your days are unpredictable but you are always interacting with staff and youth. I learned to deal with a wide variety of situations as they happen. This is a family owned facility and is run in a caring and positive manner. Co-workers are caring, pleasant people who take their duties seriously. Watching children deal with their painful situations is difficult but easing their suffering is very rewarding.

Working with the residents in this company is challenging. The most reward you get is making a difference in a child's life. Moving up in the company is difficult because the only other positions is therapists or case managers. The owners are amazing people. It is family oriented and they are flexible with the schedules of pareants.

You are in charge of high level troubled youth. You will be trained as a level 1 med aide and you will be crisis trained to put hands on. You do have to put hands on to break up fights, keep them from hurting themselves property damage ect... Unless you live locally around Black or Lesterville or Centerville you will have a long commute.

Assisting individuals with trying to change lives forever!  Trying to make a difference, and give individuals skills that are necessary to enable them to deal with daily issues in their lives.

does not in accordance with policies and procedures, demeanor towards staff is belittling and not taken into consideration. lack of communication and seniority is what makes this place of employment not a great place to work, advancement is close to none at all.

I  am very unhappy with the way the ranch is run. The children are treated poorly and staff too. I would not recommend working here to anyone. I'm also not happy with the fact they will hire anyone no matter the background.

If you can deal with troubled youth this is a good job. Long hours but can be fun if you can be tough and don't mind restraining kids when they get into fights

Alright place. Fairly slow paced, training was decent. the kind of people they employ are iffy. Bad management, and they refused to work with you in most instances. Could be stressful on occasion.
