Autism Support Specialist (Teens and Adults) chez United Home Care

Description

Autism Support Specialist (Teens & Adults)

Private Pilot | Home & Community‑Based 

Part‑Time (with long‑term growth opportunity)

We are building a small, trusted support team to work one‑on‑one with autistic teens and adults in their homes and community environments.

This is a private pilot phase, initially supporting friends and family, with the goal of growing thoughtfully and responsibly. We are seeking experienced, grounded professionals who value relationship, regulation, and real‑world independence.

Important Notes:

• This is NOT a caregiving role
• Professionalism, discretion, and independent judgment are required
• We are intentionally hiring slowly and selectively

What You’ll Do

• Provide 1:1 support in home and community settings
• Support regulation, communication, daily routines, and independence
• Accompany individuals on community outings (errands, activities, appointments)
• Collaborate respectfully with families as needed
• Maintain a calm, dignity‑first presence during anxiety or sensory overload
• Work independently with strong professional judgment

Who We’re Looking For

• Minimum 2 years of experience working with autistic teens or adults
• Comfortable working independently in homes and public settings
• Emotionally regulated, patient, and reliable
• Strong communication skills
• Seeking long‑term growth, not short‑term hours

Requirements

• Background in ABA, OT, SLP, Special Education, Psychology, or related fields
• Experience with sensory regulation, executive‑function support, or AAC
• Interest in mentorship, training, or leadership over time
• Legally eligible to work in the U.S (valid ID, Social Security card, etc.) 

• Valid driver's license and active car insurance

Benefits

Compensation & Growth:

• $35–$45 per hour starting pay (based on experience)
• Part‑time during the pilot phase
• Opportunity to grow into increased hours, lead roles, trainer/manager positions
• Long‑term salary pathway for committed team members
• Referral bonus and future profit‑share potential
