What it’s like to work here

We love God and we love people. Love like that motivates us to cast a big vision and believe that, together, we can change the world through family. For more than 75 years, our faith has inspired us to serve children and families close to home and around the world.

At Bethany, our culture is driven by five core values:

• We’re motivated by our faith.
• We support one another.
• We champion justice.
• We pursue excellence.
• We’re in it for the long haul.

How your role makes a difference

Imagine facing violence, extreme poverty, unexpected separation from your family, gang extortion, or trafficking—all before the age of 12. That’s the reality for unaccompanied children, primarily from Central America, who are seeking asylum at the U.S. border. The vast majority have one wish: to reunite with a family member or sponsor already in the U.S. In other words, to know they’re finally safe and out of harm’s way.

You’ll be one of the first to welcome unaccompanied refugee and immigrant children when they arrive at the program, helping them feel safe and assessing their needs. You’ll join a team that takes action, providing exceptional care and helping children reunite with their family.

Your responsibilities may include but are not limited to:

• Conducting initial assessments
• Developing and implementing therapeutic plans
• Holding weekly individual and group therapy sessions
• Coordinating reunification plans
• Facilitating transfers
• Attending trainings, meetings, and supervision sessions
• Preparing reports and required documentation.

We invest in you

Individual development support from our clinical supervisor, a seasoned therapist experienced in various modalities and environments.

Experience working in a team environment with other professionals who support one another, pursue excellence, and are in it for the long haul.
