The applicant will report directly to the family manager. The ideal candidate is patient, optimistic, and comfortable working with the client on generalizing skills across home and community-based environments.

Requirements • Education: Recent graduates in Speech-Language Pathology, Occupational Therapy, Psychology, Special Education, Neuroscience, Health and Human Services, or related fields are highly encouraged to apply. • Logistics: Reliable vehicle, valid driver's license, and insurance required for client transport (mileage reimbursed). • Availability: Must be available for daytime shifts; typical hours are M-F, 11:30 AM – 5:30 PM. Please note: Applicants who are only available after 3:00 PM will not be considered. Training & Benefits: • On-the-Job Training: Comprehensive, thorough training will be provided. • Full Benefits: Includes medical and dental insurance, two weeks of paid vacation, personal days, and paid holidays. To Apply: Please submit your resume outlining your education, experience, and technical skills to vsotack@gmail.com. Recent grads are encouraged to apply.
