About the role

Tidewater Youth Services Commission is seeking a Group Home Worker in Virginia Beach to provide direct supervision and life skills coaching to at‑risk adolescents in a co‑ed residential program. The role requires day, evening and weekend availability and offers an in‑person work environment with on‑the‑job training, supporting youths on their path to responsible adulthood. You will collaborate with a multidisciplinary team to maintain safety and promote positive outcomes in a fast-paced setting.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
