Job description

Brookside ITU located in Great Barrington, MA helps girls ages 6–21 with serious emotional and behavioral challenges. Many students have had a hard time in other placements or have been in and out of hospitals. Our goal is to break that cycle and find what works for each child. We offer a safe place where students can stabilize and receive a full evaluation from a team of professionals. Each student is different, so we create a personalized plan based on their unique needs and strengths. With small classes, more staff support, and fewer students per clinician, we’re able to give each child the attention they need. After the evaluation, we make a plan for what’s next—this could mean moving to a less‑restrictive program, returning home, or continuing care at Brookside if more support is still needed. At Hillcrest, we’re focused on helping each student make real progress and find a stable, long‑term path forward.

Shift Availability (Full‑Time/40 hrs)

• Residential Shift: 4 days on, 3 days off, Wednesday through Saturday or Sunday through Wednesday.

$22.00‑$25.25/hr (based on highest level of education and applicable experience) + Shift Differentials ($0.50/hr, $0.82/hr, $2.50/hr, $2.75/hr).

Benefits Beyond the Paycheck

• Child care reimbursement paid quarterly (up to $2,400 annually / $600 per quarter).
• Health, dental and vision insurance.
• 40% off gym membership at Bousquet Sport.
• Tuition assistance reimbursement up to $425 per credit hour.
• Student loan pay down program.
• Employer‑paid life insurance.
• Wellness program credit.
• Employee assistance program.
• Own dental office with payroll deduction options.
