At DCI we care about our clients and also our employees. We value work and life balance, and as a new employee starting out you will have 11 paid holidays per year plus 21 paid time off (PTO) days. In addition you will earn one additional day off per year of employment for a maximum of 26 days of PTO per year. This time accrues monthly, so after one month of employment you will already have two days of earned PTO. In addition, DCI pays its employees for continuing education activities as approved by the Clinical Director.
The CYF counselor works with families at times when the families are available; thus, hours are not all during the day but can extend into the early evenings. However, each CYF counselor is able to set their own schedule.
