About the Role

Our client, an innovative online platform dedicated to supporting families with children's behavioural challenges, is seeking a skilled Remote Child Behavioural Support Specialist. This fully remote position involves providing virtual guidance and support to parents and caregivers seeking strategies to manage challenging behaviours in children aged 4-12. You will utilize your expertise in child psychology, behavioural science, and online communication tools to offer consultations, develop behaviour management plans, and provide resources. The ideal candidate is empathetic, patient, and adept at translating complex behavioural concepts into practical, actionable advice for parents. This role requires strong analytical skills to assess situations and creative problem-solving abilities to devise effective interventions. You will be an integral part of a supportive, mission-driven team, working independently from your home office to make a significant positive impact on family dynamics and child well-being across **Eastern Cape** and beyond. Your role is crucial in offering accessible, expert support to families who may not have local access to such services. We are committed to providing effective, evidence-based behavioural support.

Key Responsibilities

• Conduct virtual consultations with parents/caregivers to understand and assess children's behavioural concerns.
• Develop personalized, evidence-based behaviour management strategies and plans for children.
• Provide practical, actionable advice and support to parents on implementing behaviour modification techniques.
• Offer resources, information, and educational materials on child behaviour and development.
• Utilize various communication platforms (video calls, phone, email) to deliver support effectively.
• Monitor progress and adjust strategies as needed, providing ongoing support.

• Proven experience in developing and implementing behaviour management plans.
• Excellent virtual communication, active listening, and empathy skills.
• Proficiency with online collaboration and communication tools (Zoom, Teams, etc.).
• Ability to work independently, manage a remote caseload, and maintain professional boundaries.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills.
• Ethical conduct and commitment to client confidentiality.
• Previous experience supporting families in the **Queenstown** region is a plus, but not essential for this remote role.

Benefits
