Hopebridge to Host Nationwide Hiring Event

Autism therapy provider plans to hire 4,000 to meet growing demand for services

Hopebridge Autism Therapy Centers, one of the largest autism therapy providers in the nation, has teamed up with Autism in Motion Clinics (AIM) to host a nationwide hiring event on Friday, March 18. The hiring day comes after the company recently announced its plans to hire 4,000 employees nationally and open 40 new centers to meet the growing demand for autism services.

Hopebridge National Hiring Day will take place across 115 Hopebridge and AIM locations in 12 states. Participants interested in learning more about available ABA therapist roles will be able to tour their center of choice, meet the leadership team and learn about the therapies used to care for children and families living with autism. Applicants are encouraged to bring a résumé for an on-the-spot interview and potential employment offer. 

“With the CDC’s recent news that the rate of autism spectrum disorder has increased to 1 in 44 children**, it’s imperative that access to quality services expands alongside it,” said Hopebridge CEO Dennis May. “In order to give these children the best possible care during their key developmental years, Hopebridge is bringing passionate, qualified behavioral health clinicians even closer to home for many of these families who require more support.”

Although previous experience with ABA therapy is preferred, none is required. Hopebridge centers provide 80+ hours of extensive training to all newly hired therapists through a mix of online modules and in-class training sessions. 

“Our ABA therapists provide life-changing services to our patients every day,” said Leigh Crick, Hopebridge Chief of Human Resources. “One of our goals through Hopebridge National Hiring Day is to find mission-driven employees who are passionate about working with children and want to improve the lives of children with autism.”  

Hopebridge’s dedication to growth and learning for both its children and its employees stems from a range of career advancement opportunities at all levels. Hopebridge aims to provide employees with the tools they need to deepen their knowledge in behavioral analysis by providing opportunities to meet their university and certification requirements, leveling-up programs, behavior analysis fellowship programs, and continued education. 

Those looking to elevate their careers from within Hopebridge have access to: 

• Monday through Friday Schedule 
• Competitive Pay and Benefits 
• Paid RBT Certification Exam 
• 401k Retirement Options with company match 
• Mentorship with experienced BCBAs and Register Behavior Technician Trainers

• Students aspiring to become BCBAs, OTs and SLPs can take advantage of unparalleled mentorship, supervision hours and clinical rotations at Hopebridge through the Fellowship (BAF) Program and Fieldwork Experience Program.
