Full Job Description

$1,500 Recruitment Bonus

Be the Steady Adult a Young Person Can Count On
Some youth need more than supervision. They need structure. Consistency. Accountability. Patience. Encouragement. Calm leadership. Safe boundaries. Adults who don’t give up on them when things get difficult.

That is the work we do at Kentucky United Methodist Children’s Homes (KyUMH).

Youth Care Associates work directly with teen boys in residential treatment who are learning how to manage emotions, handle conflict, build healthier relationships, and move toward a more stable future.

This role is hands-on and meaningful. Some days are rewarding. Some are difficult. The work matters every day.

What You’ll Do

Build professional, supportive relationships with youth ages 12-17
Help create a safe, structured, and respectful environment
Teach and reinforce emotional regulation, communication, responsibility, and problem-solving skills
Support youth through stressful situations, setbacks, conflict, and behavioral crises
Work as part of a team to maintain safety and consistency
Use verbal de-escalation and Safe Crisis Management techniques when necessary (training provided)
Participate in recreational activities, transportation, meals, daily routines, and community activities
Model professionalism, emotional control, accountability, and healthy boundaries
Encourage youth growth while maintaining clear expectations and consistency

Who Succeeds in This Role?

The people who tend to thrive here are:

Calm under pressure
Consistent and dependable
Emotionally steady
Team-oriented
Good communicators
Able to balance empathy with accountability
Comfortable setting healthy boundaries
Able to stay professional during stressful situations

Successful staff come from many different backgrounds, including:

Behavioral health, social work, human services, or psychology
Education
Criminal justice, first responder, or military experience
Youth programs, coaching, or mentoring

You do not need prior experience in residential treatment to succeed here. We provide training and support for the right people.

What You’ll Receive

Paid training in trauma-informed care, crisis intervention, and de-escalation
Hands-on experience in behavioral health and youth mentorship
Supportive team environment
Health, dental, vision, and life insurance
403(b) retirement plan with 3% employer match
Paid vacation, sick leave, and mental health care
Eight paid holidays plus one floating holiday
Tuition assistance and continuing education support
Employee Assistance Program

Position Details
Location: Nicholasville, KY
Department: Treatment
Schedule: Full-time and part-time positions available
Pay: $16 - $18/hour based on education and experience

Requirements

High School Diploma or GED
Valid Kentucky Driver’s License
Ability to pass background check and drug screening
Ability to complete Safe Crisis Management training
CPR/First Aid certification required (training provided)
