Adelphoi, a non-profit with a 50-year history of helping troubled youth, has expanded its services into Allegheny County. We seek applicants who want to make a difference in community safety, offer temporary direction to adolescents who need assistance and start or grow a rewarding career.

As partners with the juvenile justice system, Adelphoi team members will work with the courts, police, educational, and health service providers to create a safe and secure environment for youth in care. Selected candidates will be an integral part of a 7/24/365 operation.

What is Unique about Our Approach?

• We integrate safety, security, and education with behavioral management.
• Our employees undergo thorough training and education to understand their roles.
• Team members can self-promote when they are ready.

What will qualify me as an applicant?

• You must have at least 60 college credits. 
• Experience with the juvenile justice system, congregate care, or youth-related settings preferred.
• Ability to pass a physical (company paid), obtain appropriate clearances (company paid), and perform essential functions.

Initially, our candidates will participate in our two-week paid training program in Latrobe, PA (daylight training). Once all clearance result forms are received then a transfer to Highland (Detention facility in Allegheny County) will be conducted.  Travel will be compensated until training is finished and clearances are received.
