THE OPPORTUNITY

Phoenix Residential is a trauma-informed residential facility serving youth with emotional and behavioral challenges in Ellis County. We operate with fidelity to the Trust-Based Relational Intervention (TBRI) model — because we believe relationships are the foundation of healing.

As Treatment Director, you won't just oversee documentation — you'll shape how care is actually delivered. You'll lead a multidisciplinary clinical team, champion TBRI practices across the facility, and be a grounding, consistent presence for the young people we serve. This is a role for a seasoned clinical leader who wants real influence over treatment quality, not just administrative oversight.

WHAT SETS THIS ROLE APART

• Mission-driven model: Every clinical decision is grounded in TBRI — a research-based framework, not a compliance checkbox. • Genuine leadership authority: You'll own clinical programming, not just report on it. • Collaborative team: You'll work alongside therapists, nurses, physicians, and direct-care staff who are invested in doing this work well. • Meaningful work: The youth we serve have experienced significant trauma. Your clinical leadership directly shapes their trajectory.

WHAT YOU'LL LEAD

Clinical Programming & Model Fidelity • Direct the day-to-day clinical quality of all treatment program components in compliance with DFPS Minimum Standards • Champion and sustain TBRI implementation — providing staff training, coaching, and ongoing fidelity monitoring • Participate in clinical decision-making as a core treatment team member across interdisciplinary collaboration Team & Professional Supervision • Supervise contracted clinical professionals including therapists, physicians, and registered nurses • Serve as a clinical resource and mentor, supporting staff capacity to deliver trauma-informed care Individualized Youth Care • Conduct admission assessments and determine appropriate levels of care for each child • Develop, review, and update individualized service plans tailored to each youth's strengths and needs • Review medical records to ensure accuracy, completeness, and adherence to physician orders

SCHEDULE

This is a full-time, on-site position (40 hrs/week). Because we serve youth around the clock, the role requires reasonable schedule flexibility — occasional evenings, some weekend availability, and rotated holiday coverage shared across the leadership team. Scheduling is coordinated in advance.
