Job description

Spirit Psychological is seeking an additional Orton-Gillingham (OG) Tutor to complement our team. Specific training in the Orton-Gillingham Program is required.

Working in conjunction with another experienced OG Tutor, you would be sharing our current caseload and incoming clients. If you are a person who possesses a personal ability to maintain a positive and calm energy in a busy, multi-age practice and who loves to learn and collaborate with others, the Spirit team environment is for you!

A key member of the Spirit team, you would be responsible for providing individual assessment, intervention and consultative services to our school-aged clients.

Your professional judgement and knowledge will be valued at Spirit. You will develop and execute clear, targeted and individual intervention plans based on OG principles with OG materials. You will be provided with a space conducive to learning in order to meet the needs of your clients. Your knowledge and expertise in OG principles and practices will be extensively used by our team of psychologists and learning strategists. Your referrals will be both internal (from our team's work with existing clients) as well as external (from other practices and clinics, schools and parents themselves).

Ongoing communication with parents/caregivers is essential as is the collaboration with school personnel as necessary/requested. Your strength in organization and multi-tasking, placed on a foundation of empathy for all persons and situations, are skills essential to this position.

Administrative Support, Work Location and Hours

Spirit uses a secure on-line platform for scheduling, billing, client document storage and on-line video sessions as needed (CPA-endorsed OwlPractice). You will also have access to an administrative assistant as needed to assist with client communication and billing.

You will have the flexibility to meet clients at the clinic or on-line via our client platform (OwlPractice). At times, due to weather and/or at a client's request, you may choose to work from home using this secure, confidential platform. Generally, clients prefer tutoring outside school hours, during the evening and sometimes on the weekends.

As Spirit Psychological is a growing practice, we have many other members of the team who are part-time.

We are open to those with full-time employment outside their work with us, especially those who bring with them a wealth of experience, expertise and wisdom concerning the student experience in today's schools.
