• Ensure Operational Excellence: Manage shift schedules proactively to maintain required staff-to-resident ratios and uphold program standards. 
• Maintain Quality & Compliance: Champion program integrity in alignment with Michigan Department of Health & Human Services (MDHHS) and Child Welfare Licensing requirements. 
• Foster a Restorative Environment: Cultivate a safe, supportive peer community that encourages resident accountability, personal growth, and goal achievement. 
• Collaborate Across Systems: Partner seamlessly with external agencies and stakeholders to support comprehensive care plans and placement requirements.

• Pathway 1 : A Bachelor’s degree from an accredited college or university PLUS at least 2 years of professional experience in a child-caring institution. 
• Pathway 2 : Two years of accredited college coursework PLUS at least 3 years of professional experience in a child-caring institution. 
• Pathway 3 : A High School Diploma (or equivalent) PLUS at least 4 years of professional experience in a child-caring institution. 

Additional Requirements

• Criminal background check free of felony convictions. 
• Satisfactory physical examination confirming health status (free from communicable diseases, including TB) and physical capability to fulfill job functions. 
• Valid State of Michigan Driver’s License and reliable personal transportation.
