Position Type: Full‑Time/Salaried Exempt

Hours: 40 hours per week

Phoenix Residential is a trauma‑informed residential facility serving youth with emotional and behavioral challenges in Ellis County. We operate with fidelity to the Trust‑Based Relational Intervention (TBRI) model — because we believe relationships are the foundation of healing.

As Treatment Director, you won't just oversee documentation — you'll shape how care is actually delivered. You'll lead a multidisciplinary clinical team, champion TBRI practices across the facility, and be a grounding, consistent presence for the young people we serve. This is a role for a seasoned clinical leader who wants real influence over treatment quality, not just administrative oversight.

• Mission‑driven model:
  Every clinical decision is grounded in TBRI — a research‑based framework, not a compliance checkbox.
• Genuine leadership authority:
  You'll own clinical programming, not just report on it.
• Collaborative team:
  You'll work alongside therapists, nurses, physicians, and direct‑care staff who are invested in doing this work well.
• Meaningful work:
  The youth we serve have experienced significant trauma. Your clinical leadership directly shapes their trajectory.

• Direct the day‑to‑day clinical quality of all treatment program components in compliance with DFPS Minimum Standards.
• Champion and sustain TBRI implementation — providing staff training, coaching, and ongoing fidelity monitoring.
• Participate in clinical decision‑making as a core treatment team member across interdisciplinary collaboration.

• Supervise contracted clinical professionals including therapists, physicians, and registered nurses.
• Serve as a clinical resource and mentor, supporting staff capacity to deliver trauma‑informed care.

• Conduct admission assessments and determine appropriate levels of care for each child.
• Develop, review, and update individualized service plans tailored to each youth's strengths and needs.
• Review medical records to ensure accuracy, completeness, and adherence to physician orders.

This is a full‑time, on‑site position (40 hrs/week). Because we serve youth around the clock, the role requires reasonable schedule flexibility — occasional evenings, some weekend availability, and rotated holiday coverage shared across the leadership team. Scheduling is coordinated in advance.

Per DFPS standards, candidates must meet one of the following credential pathways:

• Demonstrated experience in trauma‑informed care; TBRI training or certification strongly preferred.
• Proven leadership in a clinical or residential behavioral health setting.
• Strong communication and crisis‑intervention skills with the ability to remain grounded under pressure.
• Collaborative approach to working within multidisciplinary teams.
• Ability to pass FBI fingerprinting and a pre‑employment drug screen.

$75,000 – $95,000 base salary. Salary is determined by licensure, credentials, and experience, and is discussed transparently during the interview process.

Health Coverage – Medical, dental & vision insurance (partial reimbursement).

• Paid Time Off.
• Professional Development – Ongoing training & licensure support.
• Growth Opportunities – Advancement within a growing organization.
