Lilac Learning Center · Tacoma, WA · 1 wk ago
On-siteHealthcare$95k–$105k/yrFull-time
What you'd actually do
- Building each student's behavior plan and curricular trajectory, and selecting the measures that actually fit the goal
- Training and delegating to Lead Techs and Behavior Technicians, and developing them professionally
- Partnering directly with the Special Education Teacher on IEP goals and documentation
- Collecting data you'll actually use, and assessing progress against it
- Keeping parents genuinely informed, not just compliant-informed
The honest part
- Your caseload is measured in single digits, not dozens. You will know your students.
- We are a school and not a clinic, so physical management is part of this job. That means trained escorts, holds, and restraints when safety requires it, with real training, real staffing ratios, and a team that shows up when you call.
- You will need to be physically able to respond, including lifting 50 pounds and moving quickly when it counts.
