Company Overview

Wesley Spectrum Services, located in Southwestern Pennsylvania, is a regional human services organization with headquarters in the Pittsburgh area. We work for over 3,000 children and over 7,000 family members in our unique school, mental health, and family programs. It is our mission to provide transformational support for children and families as they strive to become more independent, responsible and caring members of the community. We also strive to create a work environment that is positive and rewarding for its employees; a setting where growth, teamwork, diversity, health and safety are means to meet the charge of our mission.

Position Description

Currently, Wesley Spectrum is seeking highly motivated Behavior Specialist Consultant and Mobile Therapist applicants to work in our Behavioral Health Rehabilitative Services Program with children and adolescents with an autism spectrum diagnosis.  We have positions available throughout Allegheny, Butler, Westmoreland, and Washington counties, with offices located in the North (Gibsonia), South (Canonsburg), and East (Penn Hills).

While serving the entire Pittsburg Region, we currently have a need for staff to serve clients in the South Hills, Washington County, Airport/Robinson, and West Mifflin/McKeesport areas.  The office location for attending supervision, training, and turning in required paperwork is in Canonsburg.

The Behavioral Specialist Consultant (BSC), in collaboration with other members of the treatment team, designs and directs the implementation of a behavior modification intervention plan which is individualized to each child or adolescent and to family needs.  The Behavioral Specialist Consultant identifies behavioral goals and intervention techniques, and recommends non-aversive behavioral change methods.  While maintaining some direct contact with child and family, the Behavior Specialist Consultant primarily provides assessment such as program design and monitoring rather than direct therapy.  The Behavioral Specialist Consultant is expected to participate in Inter-Agency Service Planning Team (ISPT) meetings.  When questions or conflict around behavioral paradigms arise in other systems, such as school or other community, the BSC may participate as a consultant in special child-centered, family focused meetings along with the therapist.

The Mobile Therapist (MT), by definition, provides intensive therapeutic services to a child and family in settings other than a provider agency or office. The primary setting for services is expected to be the child's home.   Other potential settings for the mobile therapist's services include the school, the church, the community center, a neighbor’s or extended family member's home, and other community settings as appropriate. Services provided by a mobile therapist vary according to the individualized needs of a child and family.

All positions are on an hourly basis with the potential to work up to 40 hours per week.

Wesley Spectrum Services is also seeking highly motivated Therapeutic Staff Supports and Therapeutic Specialists.  Please view our job postings on www.monster.com and visit our website at www.wesleyspectrum.org.
