About the role

At The Place for Children with Autism, we're more than a therapy center. We're a team on a mission to help children with autism thrive.

Responsibilities

  • Work 1:1 with children between the ages of 2-8 with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), helping them learn communication, social, and daily-living skills.
  • Implement individualized therapy programs designed by our Board-Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs), collect data, and participate in team discussions around progress and strategy.
  • Bring energy, creativity, and passion – using play, movement, and laughter to engage children while promoting skill-building and growth.
  • Partner with clients and their families in celebrating wins, problem-solving challenges, and promoting each child’s growth.

Requirements

  • Energetic team players who show up ready to engage and move with children throughout their sessions – this includes bending, squatting, lifting up to 30 pounds, and keeping pace with energetic young learners during play and activities.
  • A collaborator ready to take on multiple tasks and decisions at once – whether it’s guiding a child, taking notes, or communicating with parents or clinical staff.
  • Positive role models with a commitment to safety by keeping the therapy environment organized, safe, and welcoming so every child can explore and learn comfortably.
  • Driven optimists who arrive to work on-time each day and are ready to learn, take feedback, and bring a can-do attitude to their teams and the families they serve.

Qualifications

  • Must be at least 18 years old and hold a minimum of a High School Diploma or GED equivalent.
  • Have accessibility to reliable transportation with a valid driver’s license and insurance, and be able to travel to other clinics to support when assigned.
