Full Job Description

Our Mission:

Make a real impact. Build real skills. Grow with us.

At Positive Development, we believe every child deserves the chance to grow, learn, and thrive and every burgeoning professional deserves meaningful work that builds real skills for the future.

We work one-on-one with autistic children, helping them build communication, social, and daily living skills through play-based, relationship-focused interactions.

Why This Role is Different:

This isn’t a passive “observe and assist” job. You’ll be actively coaching, connecting, and helping children grow; while gaining experience that’s highly relevant for careers in:

Psychology
Social Work
Occupational Therapy
Speech Language Pathology
Education and Special Education
Counseling
Medicine and Health

This work is deeply rewarding, but it requires patience, emotional maturity, and commitment. You’ll be supported every step of the way by experienced clinicians and supervisors who are invested in your growth.

We’re especially excited to meet candidates who are:

Passionate about working with children and teens
Curious about human development and learning
Patient, empathetic, and enthusiastic
Reliable and committed to a consistent schedule (kids depend on consistency!)
Comfortable working directly with families in home-based setting

Great fits include:
Education majors, psychology students, pre-meds, nursing students, OT/SLP hopefuls, behavior technicians, camp counselors, teacher’s assistants, childcare providers, direct support professionals, and caregivers.

What you'll do as a Child Development Specialist:

You'll work one-on-one with children in their homes and/or center based to:

Build communication, social, and daily living skills through play, conversation, and shared activities
Create meaningful connections that help children think, create, and engage with the world
Follow a relationship-based intervention model designed to achieve strong outcomes with fewer session hours
Track progress by documenting session notes and goal outcomes
Collaborate closely with clinicians and supervisors to build clinical skills and confidence
Learn how evidence-based developmental care works in real life, not just in textbooks

Pay and Schedules:

Direct Pay: $26–$30/hour (based on experience and education)
Training / Admin Pay: $20/hour

Part-time schedules:
- 3, 4, or 5 days per week M-F (most available hours are 3pm-8pm)
- Or Saturday and Sunday (most available hours are between 9a-3pm)
Paid drive time between clients + mileage reimbursement (IRS rate)

This role is ideal for students balancing classes, internships, or graduate school.

Requirements:

Bachelor's degree in a related field and at least 1 year of volunteer or working experience with children required.
Valid driver’s license + reliable transportation (30–40 min drive radius).

Ability to complete physical tasks, including:
- Playing on the floor/ground for up to two-three hours per session
- Lifting/carrying up to 40 lbs
- Sitting, kneeling, crouching, or moving quickly to ensure child safety
Strong communication skills and professionalism with families and teammates

Training, growth, and career development:

We invest in you because strong clinicians start with strong support.

You don’t need to be an expert- we’ll train you.
Paid New Hire Training
Ongoing coaching and mentorship from expert clinicians
Opportunities for role progression, pay increases, and performance bonuses
Exposure to a cutting-edge model of autism care with measurable outcome

Benefits and Perks:

$1000 Referral Bonus
Monthly Technology Stipend
Paid drive time (Admin rate) + mileage reimbursement (IRS rate) between clients only
Paid training
Strong performers may request letters of recommendation for graduate or professional programs

Positive Development is an Equal Opportunity Employer (EOE).

Employment is contingent upon clearing a background check and successful completion of training.
