The Residential Instructor is perhaps the most important individual in the lives of our residents. You are there to mentor them, teach them, engage them and keep them safe. You are the trusted adult who can weather their storms, show them things that they didn’t think were possible, and walk them through the day, and through their course of treatment. You will be a part of what we call a “transdisciplinary team” – everyone’s voice is equally important as we work with the child and their family in order to build plans that we give them their lives back.
To families in crisis, you will be a life saver. Listen to this…
To the kids, you will be the best coach.
To your team members, you will be an invaluable colleague.

Be aware, that if you come to work at Grafton you will be doing the type of work that will change you as a person. It really is so much more than a job. It’s a personal mission.
Yes, you will write shift notes… but you will be able to do it in a state of the art electronic health record. Yes, you will deal with challenging behavior… but you will do it using Ukeru™, a national best-practice that provides you with a trauma informed foundation that helps you diffuse the drama before it gets out of hand. Yes, you will have to be keeping kids engaged… you will do it in the community itself, using the community as your classroom. In short, on good days you will be paid to play. Yes, not all days are good, but you will be doing something good every day. And you’ll do all of this with the guidance of people who have been doing it for a long time. They know stuff that you will find invaluable.
