Job Description

Are you an experienced autism professional looking for something beyond traditional caregiving or clinic-based work?

We are seeking a highly skilled Autism Independence Specialist to provide 1:1 support to neurodivergent teens and young adults (ages 13-22) in home and community settings.

This role focuses on helping clients build real-world independence, communication, emotional regulation, and life skills while safely navigating community environments.

What You'll Do:
Provide 1:1 independence coaching in homes and community settings
Support daily routines, communication, self-regulation, and life skills
Assist clients during periods of anxiety, sensory overload, or behavioral escalation
Implement visual supports, technology tools, and independence-building strategies
Partner with families and leadership to support client goals
Use professional judgment in dynamic community environments

Requirements

Requirements:
Minimum 3+ years working with autistic teens or adults
Experience supporting individuals with high-support needs
Experience managing aggressive behaviors, severe meltdowns, or behavioral crises
Current or recent crisis intervention certification (CPI, QBS, Pro-ACT, PCM, or similar)
Strong de-escalation and emotional regulation skills
Reliable transportation
Ability to work independently in home and community settings

Benefits

Compensation & Growth:
$35-$45/hour based on experience
Part-time with growth toward full-time opportunities
Leadership track into Trainer or Program Manager roles
Future referral bonus and incentive opportunities

We're hiring carefully and looking for professionals who want to build a long-term career—not just pick up shifts.
