The Audrey Grace House is a residential treatment center for kids ages 5 – 17. All our kids have experienced trauma that has created emotional, behavioral, attachment and/or relationship challenges. Overcoming these challenges requires the support of a trauma-informed therapeutic environment that promotes the physical, mental and behavioral health of kids and helps them in developing their coping skills for life. The Audrey Grace House can accommodate up to thirty kids at one time and the individual length of stay is between 9 and 12 months. </span></span></span></span></span><br><br><span style=\"font-size:12pt;\"><span style=\"line-height:115%;\"><span style=\"font-family:Aptos, sans-serif;\"><b><span style=\"font-size:14pt;\"><span style=\"line-height:115%;\">Position Summary</span></span></b></span></span></span><br><span style=\"font-size:12pt;\"><span style=\"line-height:115%;\"><span style=\"font-family:Aptos, sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size:14pt;\"><span style=\"line-height:115%;\">This posting is for the <b>Direct Care for Children </b>position.
