Make a Difference Every Day
At Rebirth Haven, we do more than supervise youth. We help them heal, grow, and thrive.
We are seeking compassionate and dependable caregivers who believe in the power of relationships, structure, accountability, and hope. Our caregivers play a vital role in helping youth develop life skills, build healthy connections, regulate emotions, and achieve personal goals within a safe and supportive residential environment.
About Rebirth Haven

Our work is guided by the HAVEN Model, an evidence-informed framework built on five core principles:
Healing – Creating physical, emotional, and psychological safety
Accountability – Teaching responsibility, honesty, respect, and positive decision-making
Valued Relationships – Building trust, connection, belonging, and healthy relationships
Emotional Regulation – Helping youth develop coping skills, self-awareness, and problem-solving abilities
Normalcy – Providing routines, activities, celebrations, and everyday experiences that allow youth to simply be kids
We are looking for team members who are passionate about supporting youth through these principles and helping them build successful futures.
