Job description

Soar Autism Center is building a network of interdisciplinary clinics where children with autism and their families receive life-shaping services that support them to thrive. We prioritize early intervention, comprehensive supportive services, and positive, developmentally-appropriate learning that meets the needs of each unique child and family. Specifically, we focus on integrated autism care and a play-based model of applied behavior analysis (ABA) based on the principles of the Early Start Denver Model.

The Assistant Operations Manager (AOM) position is a great opportunity for current RBTs who are looking for leadership opportunities. The AOM will work in partnership with the Clinical Operations Director for our Orange Grove clinic. This is a great growth opportunity for an RBT looking to move into an operational role and gain some direct experience in that work. The role should prepare you well for additional opportunities and enable growth within Soar’s operations.

• For the first 4-6 months, this AOM role will be an hourly position comprised of 25-50% of daily scheduling and 50-75% of RBT direct sessions. The hourly rate will be based based on your specific STNH pay rate.
• After the 4-6 month period when the center census supports it, the AOM role will become a salaried position at 58250.00/year.

What You Will Do

Scheduling (25-50%)

• Leading daily scheduling (7-10 AM MST), which will be a primary duty each morning with a hard stop by 1030, should be handed-off to evening / next-day scheduling team
• Utilizing independent, critical thinking skills to make daily scheduling decisions

Direct RBT responsibilities (50-75%)

• Provide one-on-one ABA therapy to children aged 2-6 in our clinic, adhering to the profession's high standards
• Implement intervention plans crafted by our expert BCBAs, ensuring alignment with Applied Behavioral Analysis therapy principles
• Foster relationships with families, consistently updating them on their child's progress within the ABA framework
• Engage in ongoing training and development, keeping up-to-date with advancements in ABA therapy and RBT certification
• Serve as an on-call RBT, supporting and mentoring other RBTs during times of urgent need (ex: very challenging bx support)
• Continue to take care of other duties while not actively supporting other RBTs in need

As role evolves, and RBT responsibilities reduce, additional tasks will include:

Center Environment

• Performing center environment fidelity checks and taking accountability for keeping the center up to expectation, including:
  • restocking necessary items
  • submitting replacement order requests
  • fixing / replacing broken toys
  • ordering supplies as needed and approved by COD
• Primary owner for art & circle time prep, including:
  • Staff communications
  • Organization & planning
  • Materials preparation
  • Supporting staff helping with art & circle time to ensure everything completed to fidelity
• Structured session schedule adherence / fidelity
• Help assignICS tasks for other RBTs

Qualifications

• Current or previous experience as an Registered Behavior Technician (RBT)
• Must be in good standing in current role
• Bachelor’s degree required, advanced degree preferred.
• This is a full-time position. It will begin as 50% scheduling and 50% RBT direct sessions

What We Offer

• Regular bonus and promotion opportunities. All staff members are considered every 3 months for a raise or promotion
• Comprehensive health benefits, including medical, dental, and vision plans
• Student loan repayment and tuition reimbursement benefits
• Priority access for in-network mental health support through our partnership with Sol Mental Health
• Supportive training to learn Soar’s care model

• A collaborative and fun environment where every team member’s contribution is valued
