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.

We currently operate 8 clinics in the Denver metro area and have expanded to the Phoenix metro area this year. Soar will have 25 clinics across both markets by the end of 2025, and over 1500 employees.

  • Design and facilitate trainings on these tools and systems for local leaders.
  • Develop implementation processes and systems that measure the fidelity, quality, and impact of these initiatives and review data and results ongoing.

  • Systematize these new strategies into usable actions and plans for the clinician recruitment team.
  • Develop a robust database or tool that includes all clinician contacts that can be easily leveraged by all recruiters and sourcers to track contacts and performance over time.
