Title: Developmental Play Partner (Home/Center Based)
Work Location: Sunny Isles Beach, FL and surrounding areas
Job Type: Part time
Pay: $22-$28/hour
Who We Are: At Positive Development we believe every child deserves the chance to grow, learn, and thrive. Our team works with children who have autism or other developmental differences, helping them build important life skills through fun and engagement.
What You'll Do: As a Developmental Play Partner (also referred to as a Developmental Paraprofessional (DPP), you'll work one-on-one with children, to help them develop communication, social, and daily living skills. Your role is hands-on—helping kids learn through play and conversation to grow in their ability to think, create, communicate and meaningfully connect with others. Your day-to-day responsibilities will be focused on working directly with children in their homes or in our therapy centers using fun and engaging interaction to help them grow. You will be expected to document session notes and progress toward goals. You will also work directly with clinicians and supervisors to gain skills and allow for career growth.
Compensation & Schedules: Pay Range: $22-$28 per hour, based on experience and education
Thoughtfully designed schedules: We offer a range of predictable schedules with a single, direct rate of pay, including part-time roles with flexible 5-, 3-, or 2-day-per-week options
Opportunities to pick up additional hours on Saturdays
What We're Looking For: A passion for working with children and teens and helping them grow
A positive attitude and willingness to learn
Experience working with children (experience with autism is a plus). Teacher's Assistants, Camp Counselors, Childcare Specialists, Special Education Teachers/Paraprofessionals, Direct Support Professionals, Behavioral Technicians, and Personal Caregivers are all encouraged to apply
Patience, empathy and enthusiasm for working with neurodivergent children and adolescents
High School Diploma or GED. You must be 18 years old to apply
Great communication and people skills—you'll be working closely with children, their families, and teammates
Reliability and commitment to a consistent schedule so kids can get the support they need
A valid driver's license and reliable transportation (within a 30–40-minute drive radius)
The ability to complete certain physical tasks
Lift and carry up to 40 pounds
Physically position your body with clients including sitting, kneeling, or crouching.
Respond to client needs, including running or adjusting positioning quickly to ensure safety and well-being.
