Teen Rescue, Inc. is a nationwide support service to families in crisis. In the past seventeen years we have helped over 15,000 families with teens in crisis. Our goal is to provide individualized assistance to each family by directing them to appropriate resources and programs. The Julian Youth Academy (JYA), a program of Teen Rescue, Inc., is a fully accredited Christian residential school located in the mountains near San Diego. JYA has room for 48 teen girls and provides full-time supervision and redirection, an individualized education program, coaching, intervention, a high staff-to-student ratio, and after-care support. In addition, parents are required to be a part of on-going parent training classes. JYA provides a loving yet firm family environment - encouraging both the child and parents to work together to restore the family through mutual respect, love and understanding.

JYA is hiring single women or married couples without children to work as houseparents/tutors. Applicants must have a minimum of a high school diploma or GED and preferably have two (2) years' experience in a social service field, an associates or bachelors degree, and be 21 years old. We offer a competitive wage, food and housing, vacation benefits, and health and dental insurance after three months.

Our desire is to hire staff who have a heart for working with troubled teens and are a positive role model for the girls, demonstrating with their lifestyle and choices that they believe in and follow Christ. Many of our staff have stated that this job has been a great life experience with training in the areas of parenting, relationship building and conflict resolution. Staff also receive the benefit of having an intense, positive impact upon a girl's life and the life of their family.
