Great opportunities available in South Surrey

We have positions opening for 1-3 people on my Son’s teams. We have established teams for 3 boys ages 4,6 and 8 under the fantastic consultation of Dr. Sara White and Colby Anderson. These positions could be stand alone, or stackable for someone who would like to work longer hours without travel.

Preschool Aid (September)
Preschool aid needed for September for high functioning 4 year old. You would be attending Wind and Tide Preschool Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 12:30-3 with the primary duty of facilitating peer interactions.

ABA Support Worker in Surry School District (January)
We will need a support worker with 1000 hours of ABA experience to go to school with a high functioning 6 year old in grade 1. This is an excellent opportunity for someone who will be coming into their hours after September who would like to step into an established and supportive position. He attends a fantastic, flexible and supportive school and there will be an opportunity to train in the school before January. With this position, you would need to join his home team to train and run sessions ASAP.

Line Therapist (Train now for September)
A line therapist is needed to join a moderate to lower functioning 8 year-old’s team. Training would start ASAP to take shifts in September. Shifts are Saturday 9-3 and 1 to 2 weekdays from 3-5.

You need your own vehicle and must be willing to get a criminal record check.
