At houseparent.com, of course we’re all about houseparent jobs! But while many employers are looking for married couples for full-time houseparent roles, there are also occasional roles in residential care that don’t fit the typical mold.
While these roles share many characteristics with houseparent job descriptions, like working with youth and living in a residential care environment, they’re often different from the houseparent role in significant ways—like the schedule, job duties, and marital status required.
Here are a few unique jobs in residential care!

In addition to the daily supervision of the residential staff, HLAs collaborate within the Home LifeDepartment and throughout the school to ensure safe and smooth operations and positive student outcomes.
