Full Job Description

The Youth Care Professional (YCP) provides 24/7 direct care and supervision to youth in a trauma-informed residential treatment setting. YCPs ensure safety, model healthy relationships, and support daily routines while fostering an environment of empathy, consistency, and respect, while adhering to professional boundaries. You will be trained in crisis prevention and intervention, and you will work side-by-side with clinical, education, and medical teams.

Imagine a role where every day brings the opportunity to inspire, guide, and uplift. At Everstand, we believe in the power of presence, the importance of trauma-informed care, and the capacity for every young person to heal and thrive. We’re looking for compassionate, resilient Youth Care Professionals (YCPs) to join our dedicated team and create real, lasting change for youth in need of safety, support, and hope through relationship-based care.

Your efforts will help us fulfill our mission of enriching communities, one family at a time.

Why Join Everstand?

Find joy and purpose in your career. Join an inspired team of professionals who are transforming the lives of youth and enriching communities, one family at a time.

Work Environment:

Due to the nature of the organization, occasional exposure to a residential and school environment where challenging behaviors, such as physical agitation, physical violence, and/or emotional outbursts, may be exhibited.

Exposure to intense emotional environments; the role requires vigilance, adaptability, and resilience

Position Type/Expected Hours of Work:

This is a full-time, non-exempt position, with consistent scheduling patterns Sunday - Saturday (1st & 2nd shift) or overnight hours, depending on program needs and assigned shifts; typically working between 33 and 40 hours a week.

Employees must have the ability to work holidays, weekends, and inclement weather shifts as needed. Flexibility is required, and actual schedules are determined by the Unit Supervisor based on program coverage.
