Description

Title: Child Development Specialist (Spanish/English required)

Work Location: West Park, FL

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 Child Development Specialist (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/hour 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
  • Bachelor's degree in a related field and at least 1 year of experience working with children required.
  • 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.
