About Methodist Home for Children

Methodist Home for Children has been serving North Carolina families for decades. Our mission is simple: give kids a safe place to grow, learn, and build a better future. We operate residential homes, support foster families, and partner with public agencies to help youth get back on track.

About the Role

If you're someone who likes meaningful work, enjoys being part of a team, and wants to make a difference right here in your own community, this job is worth a look.

As a Youth Care Worker at our multipurpose home in Franklin, you'll help guide adolescents who need structure, support, and steady leadership. You'll be part of a crew that teaches life skills, keeps the home running smoothly, and helps young people build confidence and direction.

This is hands-on work. It's active. It's team-oriented. It matters.

What You'll Do

• Provide steady guidance: Use our proven model of care to support youth through daily routines and challenges.
• Maintain a safe environment: Supervise activities, keep the home organized, and help create a calm, respectful atmosphere.
• Work as part of a team: Coordinate with coworkers, families, volunteers, and community partners.
• Lead by example: Show young people what responsibility, respect, and good decision-making look like in real life.

What We're Looking For

• Age 21+
• High school diploma or equivalent
• Experience working with youth (coaching, mentoring, community programs, or similar roles all count)
• Valid driver's license with an acceptable record
• Willingness to work weekends, holidays, and extended shifts when needed

If you've worked in coaching, recreation, security, trades, military service, or any job where teamwork and steady leadership matter, you'll likely be a great fit.

Why Work With Us

We take care of our team so you can take care of the kids.

• Coastal Credit Union membership
• Employee Assistance Program for confidential support
• Opportunities to grow professionally and build a meaningful career
