What are the responsibilities and job description for the Intervention Specialist position at JAY H. BERK, PH.D., INC.?
Perspectives Academy | Meeting Unique Learning Needs
Are you an Intervention Specialist who believes that education and mental health go hand-in-hand? At Perspectives Academy (PA), we do things differently. We bridge the gap between academic instruction and therapeutic support, providing a sensory-aware environment where students with complex needs don’t just attend school—they thrive.
As a Licensed Intervention Specialist at PA, you aren’t on an island. You are a key member of a multidisciplinary team, working daily alongside clinicians and behavior specialists to help students reach breakthroughs that traditional settings simply aren’t equipped to handle.
The Role: Why Your Work Matters
• Small-Group Impact: Say goodbye to overcrowded classrooms. You’ll provide direct, evidence-based academic supports in small-group and 1-on-1 formats.
• True Collaboration: Work side-by-side with our clinical team to integrate therapeutic goals into daily academics.
• Innovation & Growth: Design and monitor IEPs that aren’t just paperwork, but living blueprints for student success.
• Holistic Support: Implement positive behavior plans and trauma-informed strategies in a safe, structured, and sensory-aware space.
What You’ll Bring to the Team
• Expertise: A current state license as an Intervention Specialist (or equivalent Special Education credential).
• Passion: Experience—or a deep desire—to work with students with ASD, emotional/behavioral disorders, or developmental delays.
• Collaboration: A "team-first" mindset and the ability to communicate effectively with families and clinicians alike.
• Education: A Bachelor’s degree in Special Education is required (Master’s is a plus).
Why You’ll Love Working Here
• Competitive Compensation: Salary commensurate with your specialized experience.
• Total Well-being: Comprehensive health benefits and generous Paid Time Off (PTO).
• Professional Investment: We prioritize your growth with ongoing training and professional development.
• The "PA" Environment: Join a supportive, high-energy team that values professional boundaries and shared success.
