Walden School (WS) is a nationally-recognized residential therapeutic and
education program for deaf children and youth ages 8 to 22. Walden School
students have often experienced significant adverse childhood events, as well
as language deprivation, resulting in mental health challenges, and have
treatment needs that have not been successfully addressed in other academic
and residential settings. Working with a staff that is proficient in American
Sign Language (over 75% of whom are Deaf), Walden students receive highly
individualized, trauma-informed care and therapy in a structured, supportive,
home-like setting. Students attend classes during the day in contained
classes with curriculum modified to each individual need, and have the
opportunity to participate in a range of activities on campus.

The overnight child care worker is responsible for the safety and supervision
of the children during these critical overnight and early morning hours. This
counselor must remain awake, and is responsible to ensure the students are
safe at all times and comfortable throughout the night.

SUPERVISOR: Department Supervisor

FUNCTIONS AND RESPONSIBILITIES:

Respond to all needs of the students throughout the night and morning hours,
including but not limited to supervision, support, crisis intervention, and
behavior management.

Conduct child checks at least 4 times each hour; more frequently when
identified as at risk for self-harm or running away.

Follow all special instruction related to individual students. (Example: sit
outside door until child falls asleep; wake child during the night to prevent
bedwetting).

Assist day staff with morning routine, waking children, supervising
breakfast, and ensuring proper hygiene practices.

Complete students daily logs.

Ensure any concerns are appropriately communicated to all agency personnel
including

high-risk behaviors.

Adhere to all Walden School policies and procedures.

May be delegated and trained to conduct medication administration or certain
medical procedure responsibilities for students.

**May be required to drive students on field trips and additional driving
responsibilities as needed.

**Some lifting may be required when working with young students or students
with special needs, however, TLC embraces and celebrates a spirit of
inclusion and diversity, and reasonable accommodations and modifications will
be made whenever possible. The diversity of our student population may
require that some assignments have a heavier physical responsibility due to
safety. If the opening for which you are applying will require more strenuous
physical activity, the unique needs will be discussed at the time of
interview.

*Perform other tasks as assigned by the Department Supervisor.

*Please note this job description is not designed to cover or contain a
