Description

The goals are embedded into play, so strong naturalistic and incidental teaching skills are necessary. Experience with children is an asset. One student uses an AAC device (touch chat) so the BI must be comfortable in using this device as well.

BI must be at least 19+, provide a clear criminal record check and would be willing to commit to 1+ years.

We are looking for a behaviour interventionist to join an established home based team supporting a 4-year-old boy diagnosed with Autism. Previous Behaviour Interventionist experience and knowledge of MY WAY program will be an asset but not necessary. 

Focus: Out focus is on modeling language across different communicative functions using touchchat. We need a reliable, highly energetic person with strong play skills who is able to keep him interested and engaged with social and physical play. The program is super flexible and fun. We really want him to get ready for school next year. That includes self dependence, social and academic skills. He loves to jump, tickle, and watch YouTube videos.

Location:
Strathcona, East Vancouver

Training/Wage: 
$25 per hour or more depending on experience. 

Hours: Starting with 2-4 hours a week, ramping up to approximately 8-10 hours. Flexible scheduling between 10am - 6pm. 

Description

A loving, geeky family with 3 autistic children seeks a support worker to join our team. Our bright, friendly and often anxious young teen needs support to scale up their self-care, stretch out their capacity for life’s bumps, build his curiosity and engagement for learning, and to nurture a sense of consistency, emotional regulation and a passion for life, no matter how unconventional that may look. 

This will not be a typical carrot/stick approach to helping a child reach a goal. It will be slow but meaningful work. Intuition, patience and organizational skills will be required. You will be supporting our oldest, but sometimes his two younger siblings will be around too, so flexibility and the ability to roll with whatever happens is key. Past experience is beneficial, but to us the most important quality we’re looking for is a good fit with our unique family dynamic. There will be collaboration with a multidisciplinary support team (consultants, OT, SLP, psychologist). Sessions will primarily be at our home, working up to community outings. Minimum 9 month commitment - but we are ideally looking to develop a multi year relationship with the right someone. 

Skill sets required:

• Experience working with autistic youth

• Empathic, intuitive

• Calm, patient

• Open minded, curious and non-judgmental

• Organizational and communication skills

• An affirming lens of neurodivergence 

• Drivers license 

• Enjoys playing video games, YouTube memes and anime

• Comfortable with a friendly shedding dog
