Make a Difference in a Teen's Life

Some of the most important moments in a young person's life happen outside the therapy room. A conversation, encouragement, or simply having someone show up consistently can make a lasting difference.

Sunrise Residential Treatment Center, in partnership with Sunstone HR, is looking for caring, dependable individuals to join its team as Behavioral Health Associates supporting teens ages 12–17.

You'll work in a safe, home-like environment where teens receive relational, experiential, and evidence-based care focused on emotional regulation, trauma, personal growth, and family relationships.

No direct behavioral health experience? That's okay. If you enjoy working with young people, have strong communication skills, and can balance compassion with healthy boundaries, we'd like to hear from you.

What You'll Do

• Build positive relationships. Encourage teens, model healthy behaviors, and create an environment of trust and accountability.

• Support daily routines. Guide students through structured schedules, activities, and life skills development.

• Help teens navigate challenges. Use verbal de-escalation techniques and approved safety procedures when students experience emotional or behavioral difficulties.

• Work alongside the treatment team. Collaborate with therapists, nurses, and fellow staff to support individualized treatment goals.

• Document progress. Maintain accurate records of student interactions, incidents, and progress.

• Create a welcoming environment. Support teamwork, participate in staff and house activities, and assist with light housekeeping.

This is an active, people-focused role that requires patience, good judgment, and the ability to remain calm during challenging situations. Some situations may require approved physical interventions, including holds or restraints when clinically necessary.

What We're Looking For

We're interested in people who are dependable, compassionate, patient, and comfortable setting healthy boundaries.

Experience working with adolescents in behavioral health, residential treatment, or crisis settings is preferred, but direct experience is not required.

Requirements:

• Must be at least 21 years old

• High school diploma or equivalent

• Current driver's license

• Ability to pass a pre-employment drug screening and criminal background investigation

• Willingness to learn CPR and First Aid

Benefits & Career Development

• Paid Mastery Program: A structured two-year training program with incremental pay increases as you complete each tier

• Health Insurance: Medical, dental, and vision plans, including PPO and HDHP options with HSA eligibility and company contributions

• 401(k): Company match after eligibility requirements are met

• Paid Time Off: PTO accrual and paid holidays

• Paid Parental Leave: Up to six weeks fully paid for exempt employees and four weeks for non-exempt employees

• Life & Disability Insurance: Company-paid life, AD&D, and long-term disability coverage, plus voluntary coverage options

• Employee Assistance Program: Free, confidential support for life's challenges
