Where you would work
Austin — 11711 N. Lamar, Austin, TX 78753. On site, and worth saying plainly: this is a Briarwood Detox Center campus rather than a Briarwood building, so the photographs elsewhere on this site are not of it.
Before you click apply
The application runs in Proliant and asks for everything in one sitting: resume first, then your details, then two previous employers with dates, supervisor names and supervisor phone numbers, then two references with contact details, then a background-check consent. It does not save partway through.
Twenty minutes at a desk with those to hand. If it defeats you, call (512) 213-4304 and ask for HR rather than giving up.
