About Us

Wesley Spectrum Services, located in Southwestern Pennsylvania, is a regional human services organization with headquarters in the Pittsburgh area. We strive to create a work environment that is positive and rewarding for its employees; a setting where growth, teamwork, diversity, health and safety are means to meet the charge of our mission.

Many children who live in our communities are suffering from developmental, educational and behavioral health issues. These challenges affect their ability to learn, to adjust, to grow and to become independent. And it impacts all of us. Wesley Spectrum Services is at work for over 3,000 children and over 7,000 family members right now. Guided by our unique Kid-Centered Decision Making method, a picture of each of these children today looks very different from a picture a day, a week, a year ago.

Currently, Wesley Spectrum is seeking highly motivated TSS�s. As a TSS, you will work as part of the Family & Child Development Center, where we serve children on the Autism Spectrum. They can range in age from 2 years old to 21 years old. You will work with the children in a one-on-one setting in either their school or home. Your primary responsibility will be to implement behavioral interventions. You will work as a team with a master�s level clinician who will devise your client�s treatment plan and goals.

TSS have flexible hours and is the perfect position for graduate students. There is room for promotion to a master�s level clinician upon the receipt of your master�s degree in counseling, education, psychology, or other related human service fields.

Qualifications:

Education and Experience

1. Bachelor's Degree in psychology, social work, counseling, sociology, education, criminal justice, or similar human service field, with no previous work experience; or
2. Bachelor's Degree in any other field, with the equivalent of at least one year of full-time paid work experience in a job that involved direct contact with children or adolescents; or
3. Licensed registered nurses, with the equivalent of at least one year of full-time paid work experience in a job that involved direct contact with children or adolescents; or
4. An Associate's Degree, or sixty credits toward a Bachelor's Degree, with the equivalent of at least one year of full-time paid work experience as a TSS aide; or
5. An Associate's Degree, or sixty credits toward a Bachelor's Degree, with the equivalent of at least three years of full-time paid work experience in a job that involved direct contact with children or adolescents; or
6. Licensed practical nurses, with the equivalent of at least three years of full-time paid work experience in a job that involved direct contact with children or adolescents.

For the purpose of evaluating paid work experience, a "job that involved direct contact with children" is a job such as a position working directly with children or adolescents in the mental health, mental retardation, early intervention, children and youth, juvenile justice, education, drug and alcohol, day care or health systems.

Time for which an individual received a stipend or payment for work experience obtained for educational credit or required for a college degree or professional license may be included in the calculation of either educational credit or paid work experience, but not both.

Compensation:

The TSS position is hourly and pays between $12 and $14 per hour, based on the amount of previous experience you have working with children

Wesley Spectrum Services provides a competitive compensation and benefit package, including health, dental, vision, retirement plan, life and disability insurances, paid time off programs, ongoing employee training and development opportunities and more.
