About Autism Partnership

Autism Partnership was established in 1998 and is dedicated to enhancing the overall quality of life of children and young people with autism by delivering comprehensive, evidence-based services. Autism Partnership provides a wide range of services for children and their families as well as training for professionals. Autism Partnership Australia has a team of more than 180 staff working across Victoria, New South Wales and Queensland.

ABOUT THE ROLE

Autism Partnership is seeking to employ a number of dedicated individuals to join our centre-based programs.

All of our programs are based on the principles of Applied Behaviour Analysis (ABA). Little Learners and Little School are our centre-based intervention programs for children with autism, and provide early, intensive, behavioural intervention (EIBI) - the most effective and evidence-based educational approach for children with autism.

The role of an ABA therapist is pivotal to the success of these programs and we are excited to present you with the opportunity to be involved.

We have vacancies for both experienced therapists and those wanting to start their careers. Although not a necessary prerequisite, experience with early childhood & school-aged children is highly desirable.

We are seeking people who:

• Have an engaging and fun approach to interacting with young children
• Are creative thinkers, with the ability to change styles based on individual student profiles
• Have the ability to remain calm throughout challenging student behaviour
• Are sensitive to challenges faced by families
• Are open to feedback and committed to continuous improvement
• Have a strong work ethic underpinned by punctuality, excellent organisational skills and professionalism
• Can work independently where required
• Model a positive, solution focused team culture
• Have a commitment to child safety, ensuring that the wellbeing and safety of all children is at the forefront of decision making across the team

Interviews for successful candidates will commence immediately with rolling start dates.

Employment is dependent upon the applicant obtaining a current Working with Children check and holding a valid COVID19 vaccination certificate.

Please note, only successful candidates will be contacted.
