Care Coordinator

Description

About Muir Wood:

At Muir Wood, we believe in the extraordinary potential of every teen. Our residential and outpatient programs are designed to guide teens aged 12–17 as they navigate mental health and substance use challenges. We create spaces where they feel safe, valued, and supported—spaces where healing can begin, and hope can flourish.

With a philosophy rooted in kindness and compassion, Muir Wood provides a foundation for teens and families to rebuild their lives. Accredited by the Joint Commission and the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC), we are committed to delivering exceptional care while collaborating with leading insurance providers to make our programs accessible to all who need them.

The Role

As a Care Coordinator, you’ll play a vital role in supporting teens on their path to healing. In this role, you’ll provide guidance, encouragement, and accountability while fostering a safe and supportive environment.

Whether you’re supporting a teen in emotional crisis, helping them navigate their daily routines, or ensuring their safety during transitions, every task you take on is an opportunity to make a profound difference. Your attention to detail and compassionate care will help teens rediscover their potential and give families the hope they thought was lost.
