Children’s Behavioral Interventionist, Part Time

Description

EmberHope Youthville, a leading, faith-based provider of child welfare services is committed to helping you succeed as an employee as you work to make a difference in the life of a child either directly or by offering administrative support.

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
