Christian Children's Home Direct Care Staff - Marsing, ID

We provide a home for children from failing or failed adoptions (both US & international). All of our youth have experienced early childhood trauma and struggle with attachment. Many are dually diagnosed with other emotional issues.

This opening is for an energetic, ministry-minded couple to serve as Direct Care Staff with boys or girls ages 8-18 or in any combination of any two open positions.  If a couple has children under the age of 5 one parent may work part-time.  Children over the age of 5 may attend our onsite private Christian school at no charge.

This is not a houseparent position. Our children live in the dorms, all staff have their own private housing onsite. We are looking for couples willing to commit to a year of sharing your life and to be a Godly example to our youth.
