What are the responsibilities and job description for the PLAY Tutor (play-based and education aide for child with special needs) position at Relate & Grow?
Relate & Grow has part time openings to work one-on-one as a "PLAY Tutor" with children with autism and other special needs in central Ohio. PLAY Tutors are one-on-one aides who provide intensive, play-based intervention. Each PLAY Tutor receives ongoing training and consultation on The PLAY Project and DIR Floortime methods and techniques, which are recommended by a certified DIR or PLAY Project Consultant supervising the work with the child. PLAY Tutors may also work with the child on education goals under the guidance and supervision of a licensed Intervention Specialist.
The PLAY Project and DIR Floortime are developmental, relationship-based interventions that follow the child's interests as a means to improve social-emotional difficulties as well as developmental and learning gaps.
PLAY Tutor responsibilities include: applying PLAY Project and DIR methods and techniques within fun, play-based intensive intervention sessions with the child, supporting the child's learning, tracking performance data, reporting to the Relate & Grow consultant, participating in ongoing training with the consultant and directly supervising the child when in their care.
Requirements: Candidates must be playful, energetic, able to adapt and learn based on constructive criticism, reliable, organized and have a means of transportation. Experience working with children, an interest or background in child development and two years of college studies (48 semester hours OR 72 quarter hours) are required. If offered the position, applicants must pass a background check and obtain an Instructional Assistant permit, we will provide guidance on how to obtain both of these and will reimburse their cost after a short period of satisfactory employment.
Current first aid and CPR certification is a plus, but not required, it can be obtained once hired.
This is a fun job with a flexible schedule that will provide valuable experience that is applicable to any field related to education, child development, health and mental health services, social services, policy development, etc. In some cases, schedules are flexible.
