You connect with the overnight staff to review the shift report and ensure a smooth transition. Then, it’s all about getting the kids ready for the day—coordinating school drop-offs, therapy appointments, or medical visits. You make sure medications have been administered and logged correctly, verify transportation arrangements, and double-check that the whiteboard reflects the day’s schedule and meal plan.Mid-Morning - Once the house has quieted down, you dive into operational responsibilities. You complete the daily quality assurance checklist, walk the property to ensure it meets health, safety, and licensing standards, and audit medication sheets for accuracy.

You’re reviewing staff schedules, checking time-off requests, and providing coaching to your team of Direct Care Specialists.

You meet with DCS case managers, behavioral health providers, and school representatives to advocate for the youth’s needs.
