Are you looking for an opportunity to make a lasting impact while growing into a leadership role?

This position is ideal for someone who loves working with children and families, enjoys leading and mentoring others, and is looking for a meaningful career beyond the traditional classroom or therapy setting.

This position is designed for individuals interested in growing into leadership roles within our organization. The Assistant Program Director will receive mentorship and hands-on experience in program management, staff development, family communication, and center operations while working directly alongside the Program Director and Executive Director.

About Brain Balance:

Brain Balance is a leading drug-free program designed to help children improve focus, behavior, emotional regulation, social skills, confidence, academic performance, and executive functioning. Through a combination of physical, sensory, and cognitive activities, we help children strengthen the foundational skills necessary for success in school and life.

Our team is mission-driven, collaborative, and deeply committed to changing lives every day.

  • Participate in family meetings and progress reviews.
  • Collaborate closely with the Program Director and Executive Director.

  • Teachers looking to transition out of the traditional classroom.
  • Registered Behavior Technicians (RBTs).
  • Child Development Specialists.
  • Early Childhood Educators.
  • Special Education Teachers.
  • Behavioral Health Professionals.
  • Individuals pursuing careers in OT, SLP, counseling, or child development.
  • Individuals passionate about child development and leadership.


Qualifications:

  • Bachelor's Degree required.
  • Experience working with children required.
  • Strong communication and relationship-building skills.
  • Excellent organization and time-management skills.
  • Ability to multitask in a fast-paced environment.
  • Positive, energetic, and professional demeanor.
  • Leadership experience preferred but not required.
  • Excellent with data entry.
  • Proficient with technology and able to quickly learn new platforms.


What Makes This Opportunity Different:

  • Leadership growth opportunities.
  • Meaningful work that changes lives.
  • Small, supportive team environment.
  • Direct mentorship from experienced leaders.
  • Opportunity to develop management and operational skills.
  • Consistent schedule.
  • No lesson planning.
  • No grading papers.
  • No taking work home.


Schedule:

  • 30 hours per week.
  • Monday: 11:00 AM – 7:30 PM (7.5 paid hours).
  • Wednesday: 11:00 AM – 7:30 PM (7.5 paid hours).
  • Thursday: 11:00 AM – 7:30 PM (7.5 paid hours).
  • Tuesday OR Friday: 11:00 AM – 7:30 PM (7.5 paid hours) ** will choose upon hiring.
  • *1 hour unpaid lunch break each day.

Compensation: $22–$25 per hour (based on experience)

Required Availability:

  • Mondays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays from 11:00 AM to 7:30 PM.
  • Plus either Tuesday or Friday during the same hours.

Benefits:

  • Paid training.
  • Professional development opportunities.

  • Growth opportunities within the organization.
  • Positive and supportive work environment.
