Residential Supervisor-Bonus Eligible Up to $3000

About the role

The Home for Little Wanderers' Wediko NH campus, located in Hillsborough, NH, is looking for a Residential Supervisor to make a difference in the lives of youth. The Wediko School’s team, based in Hillsborough, NH, are dedicated to providing state-of-the-art residential treatment and therapeutic boarding school services to middle- and high-school-aged youth experiencing significant social-emotional, behavioral, and academic challenges. Typically, family involvement is key to our students’ having an effective and successful treatment and educational experience. This is difficult high-stakes work that will at times be stressful. On the other hand, you’ll grow as a human services professional, potentially start or enhance a professional career, and feel that your work is purposeful, meaningful, and emotionally rewarding. You’ll be part of a team of colleagues supporting your professional growth and success. In order to change the trajectory of these young persons’ lives, a transformational treatment experience must be created. This position is key to that experience. Through an interdisciplinary team effort and direct supervision from Masters-level clinicians, Residential Supervisors make a difference in the lives of the youth we serve.
