TITLE: DEVELOPMENTAL COACH 4pm-12am

REPORTS TO: House Manager

FUNCTION:

Using a trauma-informed and relationship-based system of care grounded in Trust-Based Relational Intervention (TBRI), Developmental Coaches provide direct support to residents at Hope Village for Children. Residents have experienced complex trauma, including abuse, neglect, abandonment, and other adverse life events.

The primary objective of the Developmental Coach is to create a safe, predictable, and nurturing environment where residents can heal, build trust, and develop physically, emotionally, and intellectually. Through attunement, connection, and empowerment, Developmental Coaches help residents regulate their emotions, develop healthy relationships, and build essential life skills.

Developmental Coaches are responsible for fostering an atmosphere of felt safety, trust, respect, and dignity, while supporting each resident through individualized, strengths-based plans of care. This role emphasizes proactive engagement, co-regulation, and skill-building, recognizing that behavior is a form of communication rooted in past experiences.

All Developmental Coaches are trained in trauma-informed practices and participate in ongoing professional development, including but not limited to:

· Trust-Based Relational Intervention (TBRI)

· MANDT (de-escalation and safety interventions)

· Restorative and resilience-focused care

· Medication management and health awareness

· Cultural humility and diversity

· Crisis intervention and emergency procedures

· Abuse/neglect recognition and reporting

· Confidentiality and ethical documentation

Developmental Coaches work collaboratively within a multidisciplinary team to support residents’ healing, growth, and long-term success.

o Provide guidance in daily living skills (hygiene, cooking, organization, time management)

o Support independence through scaffolded learning and encouragement

· Guide Behavior with Compassion (Correcting Principles)

o Use proactive strategies to prevent escalation

o Redirect behavior using respectful, non-punitive interventions

o Implement MANDT and TBRI-aligned responses focused on teaching rather than punishment

o Help residents understand the connection between feelings, choices, and outcomes

· Support Academic and Developmental Growth

o Provide structured study time and educational encouragement

o Collaborate with educational supports to monitor progress

· Encourage Healthy Social Engagement

o Facilitate cooperative games, group activities, and positive peer interactions

o Promote inclusion, teamwork, and communication skills

o Utilize de-escalation and co-regulation strategies

o Ensure safety while preserving dignity and minimizing re-traumatization

· Health & Wellness Support

o Administer medications as prescribed

o Provide first aid and respond to medical needs

o Encourage overall wellness and self-care practices

· Documentation & Communication

o Accurately document observations, progress notes, and incidents in Social Solutions

o Communicate effectively with the treatment team to ensure continuity of care

· Team Collaboration

o Participate in staff meetings, trainings, and treatment planning

o Maintain professional, respectful relationships with staff and families

· Cultural Responsiveness & Ethics

o Demonstrate cultural humility and respect for diverse backgrounds

o Maintain strict confidentiality and ethical standards

· Safety & Compliance

o Participate in fire, disaster, and safety drills

o Follow all licensing and organizational policies and procedures

· Transportation

Must be willing to perform other duties as assigned by the supervisor to support the mission, operations, and needs of Hope Village for Children.
