About this role
Campus LIFE Treatment Lead
Full-Time | Pay based on experience | Alpine Academy / Utah Youth Village
This is a leadership role for someone who knows treatment happens in real time — not just on paper.
A day in this role might start with a check-in at shift change, noticing the tone of the home before you even say a word. You might coach a Teen LIFE Coach through a tough interaction, help a student regulate after a hard morning, or sit with a staff member who needs help translating a treatment plan into something usable in the moment. You’re the person who helps the home stay steady — especially when emotions run high.
As a Treatment Lead, you bridge the clinical plan and daily life. You bring clarity when things feel confusing, calm when things feel intense, and direction when staff aren’t sure what the next right step is. You work closely with the Campus LIFE Supervisor, therapists, and academic teams to ensure treatment is consistent, trauma-informed, and lived out with intention across every shift.
What Your Days Actually Look Like
- Walking the home, noticing patterns, and adjusting in real time to keep treatment on track
- Turning treatment plans into clear, usable guidance for staff during the moments it matters most
- Coaching Teen LIFE Coaches through emotional escalations, hard conversations, and repair
- Checking in with students regularly to understand what’s working, what’s hard, and what they need next
- Leading with calm presence during crises, then helping the team debrief and learn afterward
- Collaborating with supervisors, therapists, academics, and parents to keep care aligned and consistent
- Reviewing incidents, spotting trends, and strengthening practice before problems grow
- Training and mentoring staff so they feel confident, capable, and supported in their role
- Making sure the home feels emotionally safe, structured, and predictable — even when leadership is off-site
Who Thrives in This Role
You’re someone who:
- Stays grounded when things get intense
- Can translate clinical language into practical action
- Enjoys mentoring and building confidence in others
- Believes structure is a form of care
- Values consistency, follow-through, and calm leadership
- Understands trauma, behavior, and adolescent development — and knows how to respond without escalating
- Sees the home as a living system, not just a schedule to manage
What Success Feels Like
You walk into the home and it feels steady. Staff are confident. Students know what to expect. Hard moments still happen, but they’re handled with skill and care instead of chaos. The tone stays consistent across shifts. Trust grows. Progress happens quietly but steadily.
You leave at the end of the day knowing that people were supported, treatment was honored, and the home ran the way it’s meant to — with dignity, clarity, and intention.
What You’ll Need
- Experience working with adolescents in residential, therapeutic, or educational settings
- Training or experience in trauma-informed care, crisis intervention, and behavior support
- Teaching-Family Model certification (or willingness to obtain)
- Strong communication, documentation, and coaching skills
- Ability to physically support students in crisis and drive company vehicles
- Background check clearance
Why People Stay in This Role
Because it’s meaningful. Because you see growth. Because you help people feel safe.
And because you get to lead in a way that actually changes lives — including your own.
