Shift Supervisor (Full-Time) - Residential Behavioral Health

Cook Claus Program | Girls Ages 12-17 | Specialized program for girls healing from trafficking and sexual trauma

We are seeking a Shift Supervisor to provide direct care within our residential behavioral health program serving adolescent girls (ages 12–17). Many of the girls in our Cook Claus Program have never experienced consistent safety or stability. As a Youth Treatment Specialist, you will show up daily as a stable, caring adult — helping youth build resilience, practice emotional regulation, and envision a future beyond trauma.

As a Shift Supervisor, you will serve as both a mentor to youth and a leader to staff—ensuring consistency in care, guiding daily operations, and supporting a therapeutic environment grounded in trauma-informed practices. You will play a critical role in maintaining structure, coaching staff, and ensuring high-quality care on every shift.
