About The Position

At Pinnacle Family Services, the work you do every day has a real and lasting impact on children and families who need it most. For over 30 years, we've provided evidence-based therapeutic foster care and behavioral health services to at-risk youth across North Carolina and South Carolina — specializing in serving children who have experienced trauma, loss, abuse, or neglect. Our approach is trauma-informed and relationship-focused, because we know that healing happens through connection. When you join Pinnacle, you're not just joining an organization — you're joining a community of professionals who show up every day because they genuinely believe in this work. Pinnacle Family Services is part of Health Connect America, a COA-accredited family of behavioral health brands serving children, families, and adults across nine states. That means you'll have the close-knit culture and mission focus of a team that's been doing this work for decades, backed by the resources, clinical infrastructure, and organizational support to help you do it well. Every program across our network shares the same commitment — compassionate, client-centered care that meets people where they are and walks alongside them toward something better. As a Family Centered Treatment (FCT) Specialist at Pinnacle Family Services, you'll deliver meaningful, evidence-based services where it matters most: in the homes and communities of the children and families you serve. This role involves working with a caseload of children, adolescents, and families, guiding them through a structured, research-backed treatment model designed to create lasting change. Your work will be hands-on, relationship-driven, and grounded in best practices.
