When you join The Home for Little Wanderers, you join a team of professionals dedicated to creating better, brighter futures for kids.
For over 200 years, The Home for Little Wanderers has helped build stable lives and hopeful tomorrows for vulnerable children and their families. Our 25+ community-based and residential programs serve thousands of at-risk youths from birth to age 26. Many of these children have experienced abuse, neglect, trauma, or a disrupted family life. As the oldest child welfare agency in America, we provide them with safe surroundings, permanent loving relationships, and a secure path toward a better, brighter future.
We know that the best place for children to thrive and grow is in a stable home with their families. Often, youth and their families need additional supports to make home a safe place for a child that is struggling with their mental and behavioral health. Safe at Home is a team of therapists who work intensively with a child and his or her family in their home for a period of 3 weeks or 3 months.
The Home for Little Wanderers' Safe at Home program in Somerville/Cambridge provides In-Home Therapy and Therapeutic Mentoring services to the Greater Boston area. Comprised of master's level clinicians and bachelor's level therapeutic training and support staff, In-Home Therapy teams provide intensive family therapy services, working to keep children and their families together in the community. Working from a variety of therapeutic modalities, Safe at Home emphasizes a family systems approach that works with every member of the family to help meet therapeutic goals.
The ideal candidate will have familiarity with working with children and families. Candidates should also possess strong verbal and written communication skills, superior time management skills, and be able to work both independently and on a team.
NOTE: Because of the worldwide impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, our clinicians have temporarily moved to a mostly telehealth-based model to help increase the safety of both our staff and the families we serve.
