Build a career with purpose while the world sleeps.
At Project Turnabout, we know that recovery opens the door to new beginnings. For some, that next step forward includes a chance to give back — to use your own lived experience in a role that supports others on their journey. Right now, we’re hiring part-time Overnight Human Service Technicians (HSTs) in Granite Falls, MN, and we believe this could be a great fit for some of our alumni.
What is a Human Service Technician?
Human Service Technicians are the steady presence on our treatment units during the night. They are the ones who:
- Support and monitor patients overnight
- Complete shift reports on behaviors, incidents, and circumstances so counselors are informed in the morning
- Enter orientation and behavior notes into each patient’s electronic medical record
- Make regular rounds of the unit to ensure safety and support
- Assist staff as needed so the unit runs smoothly
This is hands-on, mission-driven work where you know you’re making a difference.

- Part-time flexibility — 68–72 hours per pay period, depending on the position.

About the TMA Certification
You’ll notice the job description includes a requirement to become a Trained Medication Aide (TMA) within 6 months of hire. A TMA is certified to safely dispense and administer medications under the supervision of a nurse.
Don’t worry if you don’t have this yet — you don’t need it to apply. We’ll help you complete the training and guide you through the process. Not only will you meet the job requirement, but you’ll also add a valuable certification to your qualifications for future opportunities.
Overnight Human Service Technician positions follow a consistent 4-week rotating schedule made up of 12-hour night shifts (8 PM – 8 AM) and occasional evening or mid shifts, depending on the position. The rotation is the same each month, which makes it easier to plan around, and includes some weekend and holiday coverage. These roles are ideal for those who prefer steady overnight work and want a reliable, predictable schedule.
