WHO WE ARE

Youth Advocate Services (YAS) is a non-profit organization dedicated to Promoting Positive Futures for youth and families in Central Ohio through 3 family-centered, community-based programs: Behavioral Health, Foster Care (including Pre- and Post-Adoption Support Services), and Ohio Early Intervention. We believe that sound, culturally-competent, clinically relevant services should be available and easily accessible to all regardless of socioeconomic status. We also believe that in order for you to be client-focused and provide exceptional care, our leadership team must be committed to caring for you. 

WHAT YOU’LL DO

· You will establish a relationship with an assigned school and work with school personnel and families to create a plan for a child’s success; dedicated time in the assigned school to increase as the caseload increases.

· You will complete diagnostic assessments, individual/group counseling, treatment planning, and case management.

· You will meet agency service standards by completing required training and appropriate documentation/paperwork within strict deadlines. 

WHY YOU’ll LOVE TO WORK AT YAS

We value you and what you value most. After listening and learning over the last several years (and continuing to do so), we’ve worked hard alongside our employees to provide a substantial well-being program which includes: 

· Work/life balance is strongly encouraged. You will earn 160 hours of PTO to take a well earned rest throughout the year (and the hours increase the longer you are employed at YAS). In addition, you get 10 paid holidays and the opportunity to earn flexibility within your schedule.

· We are committed to evolving as an agency and prioritize diversity, equity and inclusion. We have a dedicated committee that meets regularly to discuss important topics and create ideas that continuously make YAS better – and we would love for you to be a part of it! 

· Grow within your role with our free, in-house Continuing Education Courses. 

· We offer monthly “Coffee Chats” for employees to take brain breaks and create a friendly and supportive environment. 

· We have affordable and comprehensive medical, dental, vision, and Flexible Spending Account (FSA) options. We’ve got you covered on paid short/long term disability, too! 

· We help you prepare for your future by offering the opportunity to enroll in our 401(k) with company match.
