Behavioral Security Coach

Utah Youth Village • Tooele, UT

9h • $21 • Onsite

About The Position

At Alpine Academy, our Coaches partner with clinical and academic professionals to help transform lives. Working in a home-like residential setting for adolescent boys, you’ll build genuine relationships with teens who need consistency, structure, and firm, steady leadership as much as they need empathy.

This role is built for someone who brings a strong, grounded presence to the floor. We’re looking for someone who teens will respect the moment they walk in the room–not because they’re intimidating, but because they’re calm, confident, and clearly in control of the environment. If you’ve got a security, corrections, military, coaching, or law enforcement-adjacent background, this may be a great fit! With us, your skill set will create lasting impact for teens.

If you’re someone who leads with quiet authority, stays composed when things get escalated, and still has the heart to mentor a kid through his worst day, this role was made for you.

Requirements

• Must be at least 21 years of age
• High school diploma or equivalent required
• Valid Utah driver’s license and clean motor vehicle record
• Must pass a Residential Treatment level background check
• Physical ability to actively monitor youth, perform restraints, and administer CPR
• Comfortable using Microsoft, Google, and CRM software

Nice To Haves

Responsibilities

• Hold a strong, active presence in a residential home with up to 10 teens- fostering a safe, responsive, and proactive environment
• Respond decisively to escalating behaviors with trained, verbal interventions only using hands-on training when absolutely necessary
