Southwestern Human Services is hiring part-time TSS

A TSS (Therapeutic Staff Support) provides one-to-one behavioral interventions to children and adolescents under the supervision of a master's level clinician. Services are delivered in the home, school, or community setting and vary based on the needs of each individual client. The TSS implements a child's treatment plan by working one-on-one with a child to improve behavior management and determine successful interventions. The TSS models, teaches, and coaches parents and caregivers in how to use approved interventions that will help the child maintain behavioral stability.

Services are intended to implement specific interventions to stabilize the client, provide support to the family, and promote age-appropriate behavior. TSS's serve as an integral part of a collaborative treatment team working with the family and other professionals. A career as a TSS serves as a valuable and rewarding way to use your knowledge and experience to help change the lives of our clients and their families.

A TSS must obtain Act 33/34 clearances, FBI background check, and have reliable transportation
