Wedgwood Christian Services Assistant Supervisor (Residential Programing) in Grand Rapids, Michigan

Assistant Residential Home Supervisor (Full-Time)

What you'll do

Working in one of our residential homes alongside the Home Supervisor, you'll help manage staff training and development. Additionally, you'll mentor boys ages 14-18, join in recreational activities, and create a warm, loving home for teens who need a refuge.

Compensation + Collaboration

We're starting team members between $20-$24 per hour with a generous benefits package. You'll join a passionate, purposeful, and collaborative team who is committed to doing what it takes to give youth a brighter future.

Let's be honest...

We won't sugarcoat this. Some days are going to be tough. Those in our care have been abused and neglected, have histories of mental health challenges, and some are involved in the juvenile justice system. Their trauma is real. They're short on trust and sometimes quick to anger. They're not used to caring adults who show up day after day.

But you will. You were built for this.
