About The Position

Youth Villages is hiring a PRN Community-Based Paraprofessional in Terre Haute, Indiana, to support its Intercept® program. Intercept is an evidence-based, intensive in-home program that works to keep families together by preventing out-of-home placements or facilitating reunification after placements such as foster care, residential treatment, hospitalization, or juvenile detention. The program serves youth from birth to age 18 who face serious emotional or behavioral challenges or have experienced trauma, including abuse or neglect. Services are delivered in families’ homes and communities, not in an office, and provide strength-based support tailored to each family’s needs. The paraprofessional coordinates transportation and supervised visits, teaches parenting skills, completes assessments and documentation, and communicates with referral sources and supervisors. The schedule is flexible and non-traditional, based on the availability of the youth, adults, and families served. Applicants must have a current, valid driver’s license, an automobile for work purposes, and proof of auto insurance. Community-based staff are reimbursed for applicable mileage. Benefits are excluded for variable-status employees.
