Awake Overnight Youth Program Worker

Awake Overnight Youth Program Worker

Kadiri House is seeking a dependable, compassionate, and highly responsible Awake Overnight Youth Program Worker to support boys ages 8–17 in our residential program.

This is more than an overnight monitoring position. You will help maintain a safe, structured, and supportive environment while youth rest, prepare the home for the next day, complete required documentation, and respond appropriately if a resident needs support during the night.

If you are dependable, calm under pressure, organized, and passionate about helping young people succeed, we want to hear from you.

What You’ll Do

As an Awake Overnight Youth Program Worker, you will:

• Remain awake and alert throughout the entire overnight shift
• Maintain supervision and ensure resident safety throughout the night
• Respond appropriately to nighttime concerns, emergencies, behavioral needs, or residents who awaken during the night
• Complete accurate overnight documentation and resident progress notes
• Document significant events, concerns, and interventions
• Support late-evening and early-morning resident routines
• Assist residents with morning preparation when needed
• Maintain a clean, organized, and safe residential environment
• Complete overnight household tasks, including laundry and light cleaning
• Monitor pantry, refrigerator, household, and resident supplies
• Assist with organizing and maintaining resident records and paperwork
• Review information needed to support continuity between overnight and day shifts
• Help prepare the home and daily schedule for the incoming team
• Follow resident treatment plans, safety plans, program expectations, and supervision requirements
• Complete all required Kadiri House and Minnesota DHS training
• Participate in staff meetings, training, and ongoing professional development
• Perform additional program-support duties as assigned

What We’re Looking For

We are looking for someone who is reliable, observant, professional, and able to work independently while following established procedures.

Minimum Qualifications

• Must be 21 years of age or older
• High school diploma or GED required
• At least 2 years of experience working with youth in a residential setting preferred
• Bachelor's degree in psychology, social work, human services, education, criminal justice, or a related field is preferred
• Strong written and verbal communication skills
• Ability to write clear, objective, and professional documentation
• Strong judgment and ability to respond calmly during unexpected situations
• Dependable attendance and ability to consistently report to overnight shifts on time
• Ability to maintain professional boundaries and confidentiality
• Valid Minnesota driver's license or ability to obtain one within 30 days of employment
• Acceptable driving record and ability to meet company insurance requirements
• Must successfully complete required background studies and employment screenings, including applicable Minnesota Department of Human Services requirements

The Right Candidate

You may be a great fit if you:

• Are naturally observant and notice changes in behavior or safety concerns
• Can stay productive and focused during overnight hours
• Understand that documentation is an important part of quality care
• Can work independently without constant supervision
• Follow policies and procedures consistently
• Communicate effectively with coworkers and leadership
• Believe youth need both support and accountability
• Are comfortable working with youth who may have experienced trauma, behavioral challenges, mental-health concerns, or placement instability
• Want to be part of a team focused on helping young people move toward independence and long-term success
