Let’s work together - we’re growing our team of elite non-clinical caregivers!

Family Support Specialist (Part-Time) — Novinway

10–20 hours/week | Flexible scheduling | Paid, private-pay support role

Novinway is hiring part-time Family Support Specialists to provide premium, non-clinical childcare and family support for families raising neurodivergent children. This role is ideal for professionals who want well-paid evening/weekend hours, consistent recurring shifts, and meaningful work—without providing therapy or clinical services.

What you’ll do

  • Provide 1:1 in-home support and supervision

  • Support after-school transitions, snacks/meals, play, hygiene routines, and evening wind-down

  • Engage children through games, reading, activities, and outdoor time

  • Assist with community outings (walks, library, playgrounds)

  • Support pickup/transportation as needed for some families (optional based on fit)

How care works (non-clinical)

This is not an ABA/therapy role. You will not create treatment plans, collect clinical data, or provide medical services. Support is guided by clear expectations and includes practical, developmentally-informed strategies like:

  • Calm redirection and respectful limit-setting

  • Routine-based support (e.g., “first clean up, then iPad”)

  • De-escalation through consistency, reduced demands, and steady presence

  • Following family routines and existing care-team guidance (when applicable)

Training + support

You’ll receive paid training plus ongoing support and supervision from our BCBA Family Care Director, so you’re never improvising or left on your own.

Scheduling (built around real coverage gaps)

We focus on the hours where families have the hardest time finding support—outside of existing care systems like school and full-time ABA clinics. Most shifts are 3–4 hours in consistent recurring weekly blocks, typically:

  • Weekday afternoons + evenings (after school through bedtime routines)

  • Weekend coverage (morning or daytime blocks for respite and errands)

  • Predictable schedules families can rely on week after week

Who this is great for

  • Special education teachers looking for paid evening/weekend work

  • RBTs / paraprofessionals / behavioral support staff

  • BCBA students or BCBAs seeking extra hours in a non-clinical role

  • Graduate students (Master’s/Doctoral) in psychology, counseling, social work, special education, or related fields

  • Displaced professionals / career transition candidates — including federal workers impacted by recent cuts, who want meaningful work and a team that values service and stability

Why Novinway

Many families we support haven’t had reliable help in years. Your consistency gives parents the ability to work, run errands, recover, and reconnect—without worrying that care will fall through.

We offer highly competitive wages in recognition of the professionalism, experience, and calm leadership you bring into a family’s home. Early hires will receive priority access to recurring schedules as new families are onboarded.
