Job Description

Description :

Are you someone who brings warmth, patience, and a big heart to everything you do?

Do you love working with children and want to be part of a team that truly makes a difference?

At Honeysuckle Home, we care for children in a place that feels like home — not a hospital. Honeysuckle Home is a transitional group home serving at-risk youth with complex medical and emotional needs, ages 0 to 18. Founded to bridge gaps of care during a child’s life, we provide a safe and nurturing home-like environment with 24 / 7 nursing care and mental health support.

As a Child Support Specialist, you’ll play a vital, hands-on role in supporting children’s daily care, learning, and emotional well-being. You’ll work under the guidance of licensed staff and be part of a compassionate team dedicated to helping every child thrive.

What You’ll Do

  • Direct Support & Engagement : Assist children with meals, hygiene, recreation, and daily routines; provide one-on-one or small group support during activities.
  • Behavioral & Emotional Support : Implement behavior strategies under staff direction; use trauma-informed responses to help children manage emotions.
  • Collaboration & Communication : Share observations with supervisors, join team meetings, and work closely with nurses, social workers, and staff.
  • Health & Safety : Maintain a safe environment, follow care plans, and assist with transportation to appointments, school, or outings.

Requirements :

  • Must be 21 or older
  • High School Diploma or GED required (some college in child development, education, or human services preferred)
  • Experience working with children, especially in residential, special education, or behavioral health settings
  • Must pass DCFS background check, fingerprinting, and complete mandated reporter & trauma-informed training
  • Valid Illinois driver’s license (preferred if transportation support is needed)
  • Key Competencies

  • Compassion, patience, and empathy for children who’ve experienced trauma
  • Ability to work as part of a team with flexibility and professionalism
  • Familiarity with trauma-informed care and child development (preferred)
  • Comfortable assisting with physical care tasks and behavioral redirection
  • Create a job alert for this search
