About the Behavioral Interventionist Program:

Children who’ve experienced trauma need consistent, patient, and compassionate support. The Behavioral Interventionist Program™ provides that support directly in the home through one-on-one, trauma-informed care that helps children:

• Regulate emotions
• Strengthen coping skills
• Build healthy attachments
• Maintain stable placements with their caregivers

This work changes lives — and the data proves it:

• 82% decrease in residential care admissions
• 75% decrease in psychiatric hospitalizations
• Significant improvement in emotional health and placement stability

Your Schedule: Flexible Part Time Hours

This part time position offers meaningful work with the flexibility to choose the days and times that fit your life.

Required service hours occur between 3 PM and 9 PM, when children are home from school.

When children are out of school—holidays, breaks, summers, appointments, or weather-related closures—you may complete shifts earlier in the day based on the family’s needs and your availability.

A Role with Purpose:

As a Children’s Behavioral Interventionist, you will work directly in Therapeutic Family Foster Homes (TFFH) providing one-on-one support to youth. You will use trauma-informed strategies, neuro-developmental activities, and consistent, nurturing presence to help them heal, grow, and remain safely in their home setting.

This role is a strong fit if you:

• Have personal or professional child-welfare experience
• Celebrate small wins and believe healing is a journey
• Feel called to faith-driven, relationship-centered work
• Approach challenging moments with patience, grace, and consistency

What You’ll Do:

• Create and maintain a stable, trauma-informed, supportive environment within Therapeutic Family Foster Homes
• Deliver one-on-one neuro-developmental and coping skill activities
• Support daily living and emotional regulation in alignment with the child’s treatment plan
• Provide direct supervision, coaching, direction, and approved intervention strategies at all times
• Maintain strong, open communication with caregivers
• Ensure caregivers approve shift activities and adhere to the child’s established routines and structure
• Document services in the agency’s electronic health record in a timely manner
• Develop and maintain knowledge of CBI and TFFH standards
• Follow all EmberHope Youthville Policies & Procedures, including the Employee Handbook and Clinical Services Handbook

Training & Preparation:

No prior behavioral experience is required — we train and prepare you thoroughly.

Within your first 30 days, you will complete a blend of in-person and online training, including:

• Trauma-Informed Care
• Crisis Prevention & Intervention
• CPR/First Aid/AED
• Neuro-stimulation activities
• Mental Health & Behavioral Understanding
• Cultural Diversity & DEI
• Professional Boundaries
• Suicide Prevention
• Mandatory Reporting
• Electronic Health Record Documentation
• State and CARF-required courses

You will also complete the required CBI Certification and maintain all ongoing training requirements, including your Behavioral Management Certification!

Why This Work Matters:

Trauma doesn’t heal overnight. Behavior doesn’t change in a week. But with consistency, compassion, and connection — healing can happen.

In this role, your presence becomes a source of safety, stability, and hope.

Your encouragement becomes the difference that keeps a child safely with their family.

If you feel called to this purpose-driven work, we’d love to meet you.
