Job description

You are the steady presence on the floor at Old Oaks — walking rounds, noticing what changes, and holding the structure of the day for people in the earliest and least predictable part of recovery. It is an entry-level job that people build careers out of.

Schedule

• Full time, on site at the Old Oaks Ranch campus in Wimberley.
• Two patterns: five eight-hour days, or four ten-hour days.
• Three shifts — 7am to 3pm, 3pm to 11pm, or 11pm to 7am.
• Roughly 45 to 55 minutes from South Austin. The posting is honest about the drive and so is this page: it is the single thing most likely to decide whether this job works for you.

What you will do

• Monitor client behavior and document what you observe.
• Complete rounds every thirty minutes to keep the floor safe.
• Help with admissions, discharges and transport.
• Encourage recovery-focused behavior, and redirect when someone drifts.
• Hold respectful, professional boundaries while still offering real support.

Required

• Compassion, and steadiness under pressure.
• Strong communication and emotional resilience.
• A liking for structure and calm — this is not a job that rewards improvisation.
• Willingness to make the Wimberley drive.

Preferred

• Any experience in behavioral health, healthcare or peer support.
• Plans to become a counselor, case manager, nurse or recovery coach — this role is a direct route into all four.

Benefits

• Health, dental, vision and life cover.
• Generous paid time off.
• Merit-based raises and a route to promotion, reviewed on a schedule rather than on request.
• PTO accrues at 5.85 hours per pay period once you are past probation.
• A Hill Country campus instead of a city commute — rolling hills and quiet, in exchange for the drive.
• Structured internal advancement, in an organization where the next role is on the same site.

Compassion, and steadiness under pressure. Strong communication and emotional resilience. A liking for structure and calm — this is not a job that rewards improvisation. Willingness to make the Wimberley drive.
