Description
Job Posting Title Physical Development Specialist Job Description Position: Physical Development Therapist
Location: Abraxas Academy, 1000 Academy Dr., Morgantown, PA 19543
Now hiring a Physical Development Specialist to join our team at Abraxas Academy in Morgantown, PA. Here, you will help at-risk adolescents BUILD BETTER FUTURES.
Abraxas Academy is located minutes off of Exit 298 of the Pennsylvania Turnpike in Berks County and provides detention and treatment services for court committed youth.
Salary: $29.00-$32.00 hourly
Job Type: Full-time
Must pass a drug test and both federal and state background checks! Position Summary
The Physical Development Specialist implements the Regulation and Movement Program (RAMP), a targeted stabilization strategy designed to reduce behavioral escalation among high-risk youth through structured physical activity and physiological regulation techniques.
Youth served at Abraxas Academy often operate in a state of heightened physiological activation due to trauma exposure, impulsivity, and environmental stressors. This role addresses the underlying biological drivers of behavior by providing proactive, movement-based interventions that reduce escalation, improve self-regulation, and enhance overall program stability.
This position is not traditional recreation or supervision. The Physical Development Specialist uses exercise science principles as a behavioral intervention, integrating cardiovascular activity, structured programming, and recovery techniques to support emotional and behavioral regulation.
Key Responsibilities
1. Targeted Caseload Intervention
Maintain a caseload of youth identified as high risk for behavioral escalation
Conduct individual and small-group sessions focused on cardiovascular engagement and regulation
Facilitate structured activities such as basketball, soccer, interval training, agility drills, and cycling
Provide guided coaching during activity to support emotional awareness and behavioral choices
Assist youth in identifying triggers and practicing alternative responses
Deliver proactive interventions to reduce the likelihood of crisis behavior
2. Structured Recreation Leadership
Design and implement structured recreation programming across residential units
Minimize idle time and reduce unstructured or chaotic activities
Increase safe cardiovascular intensity and engagement levels
Establish organized team formats that reinforce discipline and accountability
Collaborate with and train unit staff on maintaining structure, safety, and behavioral expectations during movement activities
Support consistent implementation of program standards across shifts
3. Regulation and Recovery Integration
Integrate physiological regulation techniques into programming, including:
Tactical breathing
Heart rate monitoring and recovery training
Mobility and flexibility work
Collaborate with external specialists (e.g., yoga or wellness instructors) to enhance programming
Facilitate short, guided recovery sessions to promote down-regulation following physical activity
Teach youth strategies to intentionally transition from activation to calm
4. Behavior Stabilization Support
Use movement as a proactive intervention to reduce aggression and crisis incidents
Reinforce program expectations, structure, and accountability during all activities
Model calm, controlled responses in high-energy environments
Maintain safety and behavioral boundaries at all times
Communicate effectively with clinical and program staff regarding youth progress
Required Qualifications
Bachelor’s degree in a related field (e.g., kinesiology, exercise science, physical education, sports science, psychology, or a similar discipline) preferred
Demonstrated ability to lead structured group activities or programming
Interest in working with adolescents and supporting behavioral growth
Ability to manage groups in active, high-energy environments
Strong interpersonal, coaching, and communication skills
Ability to maintain structure, discipline, and safety during movement-based activities
Preferred Qualifications
Experience leading athletic, fitness, recreation, or youth development activities
Experience working in team-based or structured program environments
Familiarity with behavior management, coaching, or mentoring approaches
Certification in CPR/First Aid (or ability to obtain)
Core Competencies
Behavioral coaching and de-escalation
Group leadership and engagement
Structured program design
Situational awareness and safety management
Communication and collaboration
Emotional regulation and professionalism
Working Conditions
Active, movement-based work environment
Frequent standing, walking, running, and physical demonstration of activities
Engagement with youth exhibiting challenging behaviors
Indoor and outdoor programming environments
Program Goals and Impact
The RAMP initiative is designed to:
Reduce aggressive incidents and crisis events
Decrease use of restraints
Improve program stability and unit climate
Enhance youth self-regulation skills
This role is central to shifting the program from reactive behavior management to proactive stabilization , using movement as a primary tool for regulation and skill development.
Position Philosophy
This position is built on the understanding that many youths regulate more effectively through structured physical engagement than through verbal processing alone .
The Physical Development Specialist helps youth:
Safely discharge stress through movement
Stay cognitively engaged during activation
Learn to intentionally regulate through recovery techniques
