THERAPISTS NEEDED!

Therapists required to work on our home-based Lovaas-style Applied Behaviour Analysis (ABA) team, with our 2-year old son. Under supervision, therapists implement a pre-set programme which includes home-based work and outings in the community. Data-taking is a required component of the programme.

These positions will appeal to people with an interest in psychology, education, special education, speech/language pathology or any other career involving children and clinical therapy. This is not only a very good opportunity to gain training and job experience with minimal qualifications but also is a fabulously rewarding to see a young child’s world expand and to know that you are helping that child participate fully in their environment.

Enthusiasm, dedication, able to take constructive feedback and implement it immediately, reliability and a willingness to learn are required. Energy and a positive attitude is a must.

We’re looking for people that are available to work during the day or after school hours and also on weekends.

Therapy/Tutor sessions will take place in our home located in Ambleside, West Vancouver. We require a commitment to the team of minimum 6 months and a weekly requirement to attend 2-3 shifts of three hours each, plus team meetings. You could easily work around your university schedule.

No experience is required. Under our consultant, extensive and ongoing training will be provided in the Lovaas method of Applied Behavioral Analysis (ABA), an intensive behavioral program where the children are systematically taught what other children learn intuitively from their family and peers.

Only apply if you are a natural at relating to children. A current criminal record check will be required.

If interested, please send a copy of your resume with a covering letter discussing your qualifications to persianvet@shaw.ca and refer to “therapists needed”. We welcome all applicants, including those with little or no training in the field! We are looking for just the right person, experience is not required as training is provided.
