High School Bridge Counselor
Behavior Therapist Job 33 miles from Crown Point
We are the Phoenix-Rise with us
Chicago students have the right to a well-resourced high school education, but the placement process is complicated to navigate alone. High School Bridge (HSB) helps students attending elementary schools in communities impacted by systemic disinvestment find and succeed in their best-fit high schools. We advocate for 7th, 8th, 9th and 10th graders and their families as they build the foundation for their success in high school, after high school and the start of their careers.
Over the next five years, the High School Bridge Program will grow to serve 1,800 students from 18 different elementary schools in seventh through tenth grades as they chart their unique path by accompanying them through their transition to best-fit high schools.
The responsibilities of the HSB Counselor include but are not limited to: developing and maintaining relationships with partner elementary schools; working directly with families in the high school application and decision-making process; and developing best practices to support high school and postsecondary access for first-generation, low-income and under-represented students in Chicago through the implementation of a HSB program at partner schools.
The person in this position reports to the Director of the HSB Program and works closely with the HSB Team. Applicants for this position must have a bachelor's degree and at least two years of experience. Strong applicants are committed professionals who take initiative to creatively identify and solve problems and are excited about the start-up nature of the work. The position occasionally requires non-traditional work hours for evening or weekend events to respond to student needs as they arise. It is based at Chicago Jesuit Academy, but requires regular travel to partner elementary schools and high schools.
The High School Bridge Counselor will:
Work with a core group of elementary schools to implement a high school transition program and with the HSB Team to support high school and postsecondary access for students and alumni of each school.
Support students and families in the high school application and decision-making process by developing relationships with students and families as the trusted advisor through individual and group meetings with students, alumni, parents and other stakeholders of each partner school.
Accompany alumni from our partner schools as they matriculate to high school by designing and implementing creative opportunities for relationship building such as social media campaigns and alumni-meet-ups to stay in contact with alumni as they navigate ninth and tenth grades.
Conduct individual and group parent meetings with current students and alumni.
Coordinate services and supports for various alumni issues, including high-school success, tutoring, transfers, crisis management, and application support for jobs, internships and summer programs.
Visit students at their current schools and assess the level of care being provided by these schools.
Update and maintain the confidentiality of student information in the College-Persistence Salesforce database on a regular basis.
Actively communicate with and engage families in events and programming.
Work in partnership with the HSB Team and Notre Dame's Lab for Economic Opportunities to evaluate the impact of this intervention on students in Chicago.
Support CJA's development efforts by sharing his or her work with friends and benefactors who support the scholarship needs of CJA students and the ongoing needs of CJA alumni.
Model the ideal of a “person for others” in the Jesuit tradition.
Execute other duties as assigned.
The successful candidate will believe in the long-term care of students and an education that forms the whole person -
cura personalis
in the Jesuit tradition. This person will have strong communication and organizational skills and preferably be bi-lingual in Spanish. Experience in counseling, social work or teaching is preferred.
This is an 11-month position - similar to teachers, High School Bridge Counselors will have 4 weeks off, typically during the summer.
Mission:
Chicago Jesuit Academy (CJA) is a full-scholarship lower and middle school for young men from modest economic backgrounds who could not otherwise access a well-resourced, faith-based college prep education in the Catholic tradition. We support and advocate for CJA students and alumni as well as other children of modest means as they progress to and through college prep high schools, post-secondary education and the transition to meaningful careers and citizenship. CJA invites students to become persons for others who aspire to be open to growth, loving, intellectually competent, religious and committed to doing justice
.
Means:
Located in the Austin neighborhood on Chicago's West Side, CJA enrolls students without regard for their past levels of academic achievement. We use small class sizes, rigorous extended school days and an 11-month school year to develop each student as a whole person in accord with the Jesuit mission and tradition. CJA shares best practices with other schools, and we partner with the broader community to promote access to better educational resources and a deeper understanding of the obstacles to educational equity. The disciplined sacrifices of CJA's students, alumni, parents, faculty, staff, volunteers and benefactors make the success of our mission possible.
Non-discrimination Policy

Our newest center in Woodridge, IL is looking for dedicated individuals to join our team as a Registered Behavior Technician.
Why North Shore Pediatric Therapy?
We hire our RBTs for character first and experience second, and applicants must demonstrate integrity, kindness, and patience. As part of a clinical team, you'll be providing a life-changing service that affects entire families today, tomorrow, and years into the future. In just a few weeks of ABA therapy, one of your kiddos might go from lacking the important vocabulary to finally being able to express what she wants and how she's feeling, or from antisocial behaviors to cheerfully greeting her family. Our success stories are numerous, requiring excellence from every team member.
Our benefits:
Career Path & Certification: We offer comprehensive training and support. We provide all the support you need as a Registered Behavior Technician. For those studying ABA and working towards their BCBA, we have a formalized Assistant Clinical Coordinator (ACC) pathway to help you in studying for the BCBA exam and earning your restricted and unrestricted hours.
Interdisciplinary Support: You'll thrive in our multi-disciplinary environment, working with teams in Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA), Neuropsychology, Occupational Therapy, Physical Therapy, Speech-Language Pathology, and Mental Health.
Flexible scheduling: Many of our kiddos need after school, evening and Saturday hours. You'll let us know the days and times you are available and we'll build your caseload!
401(k) with company match
Calm app membership
Paid time off (for full-time employees)
Health, dental, and vision insurance (for full-time employees)
Paid holidays (for full-time employees)
Who makes a great Registered Behavior Technician?
You have an active RBT Certification and are in good standing with the BACB.
You have prior childcare experience, especially with kids with developmental needs, or caretaking experience, such as a nurse or aide.
You are studying or are interested in psychology or child development.
You have a love of active play, and love to get on the ground, engage in children's games, and make learning fun!
You have a friend or family member on the autism spectrum and can envision yourself in a caretaker role.
Those who know you describe you as having unflappable patience and compassion. Autism affects each person in diverse ways, and you will need to provide consistent, calm care and follow-up.
You have a background in teaching, assisting, counseling, or coaching.
You have a background or interest in other pediatric therapies, such as speech therapy, physical therapy, or occupational therapy.

You do not match the above but are inspired by the work that we do and the impact we have on children's lives.
What does a Registered Behavior Therapist do?
You will provide 1:1 care to our kiddos, executing a therapy plan designed by your supervisor, a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA). ABA therapy uses the concept of reinforcement to teach skills needed to be independent and build and maintain social relationships, as well as replace behaviors that impede our kiddos' ability to learn. Children with autism spectrum disorders understand and interact with the world differently, and your role is to make learning fun while accommodating their unique sensory needs.
Many kiddos with ASD experience emotional overload, which can lead to intense verbal and physical responses. As a Behavior Therapist, you will need to be patient and compassionate while delivering care to our kiddos. We will teach you the skills you will need to manage these behaviors.
Whether you already know your purpose and passion in life, or you're looking for the career path that suits you best, we'll teach you the skills needed to make an impact today, as well as how this role can progress and advance in the next 1, 3, 5 years and longer.

But every hero needs a sidekick, and that's where you come in. If you're passionate about working with children and want a meaningful career that makes a lasting impact, this role might be your calling. We are looking for Behavior Therapists ready to step into a role that's as rewarding as it is challenging. Whether you're new to the field or already have experience, we provide the tools, training, and support you need to grow into a skilled professional who helps change lives-one milestone at a time. What's in it for You?
Make a Lasting Impact: Imagine the moment a child speaks their first word, ties their shoes, or learns to say “I did it!”-and knowing you were part of that journey.
Be Part of a Mission: Our assent-based care approach focuses on respecting boundaries, building trust, and teaching in ways that align with each child's strengths and preferences.
Embrace the Messiness: Be prepared for the realities of life with children-changing diapers, handling meltdowns, navigating behaviors like elopement-all while maintaining compassion and care. It's not always neat, but it's always meaningful.
Career Growth Opportunities: Many of our Behavior Therapists have gone on to become BCBAs, OTs, SLPs, and leaders in therapy and support roles. Let this be the first step in your career in pediatric therapy.
Earn While You Learn: Within your first 60 days, we'll help you become a certified RBT (Registered Behavior Technician) at no cost to you. Certification comes with hands-on training and a pay increase.
Flexible Scheduling: We know life outside of work matters. Evening (3-8 PM) and Saturday availability are a must, but we'll collaborate with you to build a schedule that fits.
A Team That's Got Your Back: Join a collaborative, passionate group of therapists and mentors who celebrate successes, big and small, with monthly social events and a supportive work culture.
What Does a Behavior Therapist Do? As a Behavior Therapist, you'll work one-on-one with children, following therapy plans created by Board-Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs). You'll be part of an interdisciplinary team that approaches care with respect and empathy. Each day will have its triumphs and challenges, and every moment will contribute to a child's growth. You'll:
Respect Autonomy: Engage with children in a way that invites their participation and honors their preferences.
Be Active: Play on the floor, run, and make therapy fun and engaging while teaching important skills.
Handle Challenges with Compassion: Navigate moments of elopement (running away), big emotions, or physical behaviors with patience and understanding, always focusing on safety and progress.
Celebrate Successes: Whether it's a first word, a smile, or a small step forward, you'll see the lasting impact of your work.
What Makes You a Great Fit? We're looking for passionate individuals who:
Have experience working with children-especially those with developmental disabilities or special needs.
Are comfortable with the messier side of life, including changing diapers and navigating intense emotions.
Believe in honoring each child's individuality and using neuroaffirming approaches to care.
Thrive in active, hands-on environments and can stay calm under pressure.
Are empathetic, patient, and excited to make learning fun.
Are considering careers in ABA therapy, child psychology, education, occupational therapy, speech therapy, or related fields.
See this as more than just a job-it's a stepping stone to their future.
