Security Specialist Chicago, United States

Heartland Alliance
Youth & Residential Services Division

The Youth and Residential Services division of Heartland Alliance currently has openings for Security Specialists to work overnights, on the 3rd shift (12am to 8:30am).

Each job is based at one of our group homes for minors, where we provide housing and case management services to adolescent boys and girls. The kids in our programs are from all over the world and we are proud to provide them with a structured, safe and friendly environment as we work to help reunite them with family, or otherwise move on to their next step. Our residential sites are located in Rogers Park, Des Plaines and in the Beverly neighborhood (near the South suburbs of Chicago).

Security Specialists
Security Specialists on the 3rd shift conduct intakes of new participants, participate in the implementation of counseling, education or activity groups, and supervise program participants individually or in groups. Most of the interaction with participants happens toward the end of the shift, when the Security Specialists wake the participants up and supervise them through their morning routines. These positions are also responsible for household chores such as laundry, preparing meals, and other general cleaning.

Requirements:
• Three years experience in security is required. Experience working with youth, is strongly preferred - we consider any type of experience with youth to be relevant, including volunteer and other less formal experience.
• Experience working in a residential or institutional setting (such as a hospital) is strongly preferred.
• Bilingual ability in English and another language is required.
• All candidates must be able to successfully pass a background check
