Full Job Description

If you believe the best learning happens through trust, consistency, and individualized support, this is an opportunity to make a lasting difference in the life of an exceptional student and the family who loves them.

We're seeking an experienced special educator to provide part-time, one-on-one educational support in the student's home. This role is approximately 8–10 hours per week over two days. The family is looking for an educator who can become a consistent presence, providing individualized instruction while supporting the student's academic growth, behavioral goals, and independence.

This role is equal parts educator, coach, and steady presence, and ABA is central to the student's success. The family values consistency and has seen firsthand how meaningful progress comes when everyone follows the same behavior plan. You'll provide individualized, one-on-one instruction in the home, adapt learning to meet the student's unique needs, and implement ABA-informed strategies that help build confidence, communication, independence, and real-world skills. Because the student requires significant behavioral support, this role is best suited for an educator with a strong special education background who is confident implementing behavior plans and working with students with intensive support needs. Experience with ABA is required, and BCBA certification or coursework is strongly preferred. You won't be doing this alone. Thrive employs and supports this role, providing ongoing BCBA-led coaching and guidance so you'll always have an experienced behavior specialist to partner with.

Student Profiles

You'll work with two brothers who are beginning a new chapter in their education through a hybrid, home-based program. Both joined their family from Armenia, and both grow most with an adult who leads with warmth and reads them well.

The younger brother is a social, aware, and intentional kid who is motivated most by relationships and connection. He has Down syndrome, autism, and ADHD, and he does best with highly individualized instruction, predictable routines, and an educator who can guide him through transitions and behavioral moments without becoming reactive. He thrives with flexibility, calm leadership, and consistent expectations. He communicates with sign language and some speech, and pairing signs with new words noticeably strengthens how well new learning sticks.

His older brother is easygoing, hardworking, and genuinely enjoys learning, with remarkable adaptive skills and a quick memory for routines. He is nonverbal, has an intellectual disability and right-sided hearing loss, and communicates with an AAC device and gestures, so the adult who works with him faces him, sits on his hearing side, and moves one step at a time. He responds well to calm, encouraging adults and flourishes with predictable routines and positive reinforcement. He works hard, sometimes past the point of frustration, and does best with an educator who recognizes when he needs help regulating and gently guides him back.

The brothers have distinct personalities and learning needs, which makes this an engaging and deeply rewarding role for an educator who enjoys personalizing instruction, building real relationships, and celebrating progress in all its forms.

What You'll Do

Plan, prepare, and deliver highly personalized one-on-one instruction tailored to each student's learning profile, strengths, interests, and goals.
Collaborate with Thrive's Educational Manager to make curriculum decisions, adjust scope and sequence, and continuously refine each student's educational plan based on progress and emerging needs.
Monitor student progress and continuously adjust instruction, pacing, and supports to maximize academic, behavioral, and social growth.
Implement individualized, ABA-informed teaching strategies with fidelity, consistently following each student's behavior plan and recognizing that behavioral consistency is just as important as academic instruction.
Foster confidence, independence, executive functioning, communication, self-advocacy, and real-world skills through individualized support.
Maintain proactive, professional communication with the family, hybrid tutorial team, and other service providers, ensuring everyone is aligned on student progress, behavioral strategies, accommodations, and next steps.
Partner closely with the family, Thrive team, and BCBA to monitor progress, problem-solve challenges, and celebrate growth.

What Makes Someone Successful

This role is about much more than academic instruction. Success requires an educator who understands that meaningful learning and behavior support go hand in hand. You're comfortable viewing behavior as communication, and you respond with consistency, curiosity, and confidence.

You'll thrive in this role if you:

Are grounded in ABA and believe in it, and follow a behavior plan consistently even when the day is hard. A BCBA is preferred, and an RBT or strong hands-on ABA background is also welcome
Are confident supporting challenging behavior: you read early warning signs, keep a calm and regulated presence, de-escalate without power struggles, and never get pulled into a standoff
Prevent hard moments before they start with predictable routines, clear expectations, and individualized supports, and understand behavior as communication
Have a strong special education background, or substantial experience supporting students with behavioral, developmental, and learning differences across complex profiles
Are comfortable with nonverbal communication and adaptive tools like AAC and sign language, and can adapt instruction for a student with hearing loss
Build trust quickly while balancing warmth with clear, consistent boundaries, and find genuine fulfillment in helping students build confidence, independence, and self-regulation over time

Requirements

Required Qualifications

Professional experience implementing Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) or other evidence-based behavior support approaches with fidelity in educational, clinical, or therapeutic settings.
Special education teaching experience.
Confidence supporting students with moderate to significant behavioral needs while maintaining a calm, consistent, and proactive approach.
Strong individualized teaching skills with the ability to adapt instruction based on each student's learning profile, progress, and behavioral needs.
Excellent collaboration and communication skills, with experience partnering effectively with families and multidisciplinary teams, including BCBAs, therapists, and other educational professionals.

Preferred Qualifications

Active TN special education teaching license
Experience implementing individualized behavior intervention plans (BIPs) and collaborating closely with BCBAs.
Experience providing one-on-one instruction in private, home-based, therapeutic, or other highly individualized educational settings.
BCBA credential or coursework is highly preferred but not required for candidates with substantial ABA implementation experience.
