Senior Residential Lodge Leader - Care & Team

The Residential Manager oversees the daily operations of a residential lodge at Idaho Youth Ranch's Psychiatric Residential Treatment Facility, a licensed behavioral health setting serving youth with complex psychiatric and trauma-related needs. This is a hands-on leadership role that spans program management, staff supervision, youth care oversight, documentation and compliance, and active collaboration with the clinical and nursing teams.

You're not a distant administrator. You're the operational center of the residential program, the person who ensures the lodge runs safely, the staff are supported and held accountable, the youth receive consistent and therapeutic care, and the program meets the regulatory standards that a licensed PRTF requires.

The Residential Manager is the bridge between the clinical mission of the program and the operational reality of running a 24-hour residential facility.

The Residential Center and Hays House are both hiring. Find your fit.

• Ensure documentation standards meet licensing and regulatory requirements for a PRTF setting

• Maintain regular communication with residents' families, providing progress updates, addressing concerns, and supporting appropriate family involvement in treatment

You hire, train, supervise, and develop the Shift Supervisors and Youth Care Providers who staff the lodge around the clock. Their performance is a reflection of your leadership. Your investment in their development is one of the most consequential things you do in this role.
