About The Position

Youth Villages is hiring a Family Intervention Specialist for its Intercept® program in Greensboro, North Carolina. Intercept is an evidence-based, intensive in-home program designed to help keep families together by preventing out-of-home placements or facilitating reunification. It serves youth from birth through age 18 who face serious emotional or behavioral challenges or have experienced trauma, including abuse or neglect. Specialists provide strength-based support and evidence-based mental health interventions in families’ homes and communities, helping families develop parenting and communication skills and achieve lasting change. This is not an office-based program. The Specialist carries a caseload of four to six families and conducts individual and family sessions three times weekly, scheduled around family availability. The role includes ongoing assessment, professional development and clinical consultation, collaboration with providers and other partners, crisis support, and timely documentation in an electronic medical record. The schedule is flexible and non-traditional. The position requires driving to families’ homes and communities, with mileage reimbursement for applicable travel. Salary is $58,000–$63,000, based on education and clinical license.
