Social Skills Assistant

Social Skills Assistant Pod Support & Open Play Compensation $18 – $21/hr Employment Type Part-time positions available Reports To Program Supervisor or BCBA Location Indio + The Sensory Spot (CA) Why This Role Exists The first person a family meets at KEBM isn't a therapist it's the Social Skills Assistant. The one setting up the room, running open play, greeting a child by name on their second visit. We created this role because we refuse to treat entry-level as throwaway. The SSA is the first rung on a 14-step clinical pipeline we actually expect you to climb, and the first human connection a family has with our care. About Us We're a five-clinic ABA therapy company with four locations across Southern California and one in Georgia, founded in 2016 by a BCBA with 25+ years in the field. Our team of 68+ professionals delivers evidence-based therapy through our proprietary S.O.C.I.A.L. P.O.D.S. methodology and our Sensory Spot locations prove that therapy can actually feel like play. We serve every client who walks through our doors insurance-funded, private pay, open play participants at our Sensory Spot locations, Camp participants spring break, winter break, summer, and any seasonal KEBM camp How S.O.C.I.A.L. P.O.D.S. Work S.O.C.I.A.L. P.O.D.S. is our proprietary group ABA therapy methodology a pod-based model where social skills, behavior intervention, and individualized goals are delivered inside a structured group dynamic. Here's how it works on the ground: Each pod has 3 to 6 clients with varied diagnoses autism, ADHD, ADD, Down syndrome, developmental delays grouped by age, skill level, and goal alignment. The facilitator-to-client ratio is 1:3 inside the pod. A supervisor is always on-site, and clinical support is always available in your pod. Your on-site supervisor is a Program Supervisor, BCaBA, or BCBA, and they move between pods providing real-time coaching, oversight, and support for challenging behaviors. You are never figuring it out alone. We use a push-in / pull-out model: group work happens inside the pod, and 1:1 intensive instruction pulls out when a client needs dedicated skill-building or behavior support. BCBAs and Program Supervisors move between pods providing real-time coaching, clinical oversight, and support for challenging behaviors. Why this matters: If you've worked anywhere that assigns a new RBT a difficult case and leaves them to figure it out that's not what happens here. The pod is the support structure, built in. Who We Serve KEBM serves every client who walks through our doors no tiers, no priority treatment, no "real clients vs. drop-ins."
