About the Behavioral Interventionist Program

Children who have 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

• 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'll love to meet you.
