Night Shift Counselor - Partnership For Children

The Night Shift Counselor 

General Objective: The Night Shift Counselor position performs a variety of direct and non-direct care duties
in creating a therapeutic milieu. This position provides therapeutic care, safety and supervision to emotionally
disturbed children and performs duties in the areas of housekeeping, laundry, meal preparation, record keeping
and others as assigned. The Night Shift Counselor is responsible to review and stay abreast of assessments,
logs, reports and treatment plans and attend clinical staff meetings and training as directed. The Night Shift
Counselor is largely distinguished from the Counselors by the major assignment of non-direct care duties which
do not require specialized skills acquired through advanced training, limited development of significant
relationships and therapeutic interventions which do not exceed “care and control” with children (the “here and
now” provision of safety, nurturance and structure). The Lead Night Shift Counselor and the Coordinator
supervise the Night Shift Counselor.
