Work that actually matters.
Novinway is building something that doesn't exist yet - a real support system for neurodivergent families. We're looking for people who take this work seriously.
Meaningful work with real support behind it.
People who work with neurodivergent children are often underpaid, undertrained, and unsupported. They're asked to handle demanding work with minimal preparation and high turnover. When it gets difficult, they're on their own. So they leave. And the families start over.
We built Novinway to break that cycle. Our caregivers are employed directly by Novinway, paid above market rate, trained in neuroaffirming care practices and then individually for each child they work with by a board-certified behavior analyst, and backed by a team that supports them when things get hard. We invest in our people because that's how families get caregivers who stay and do great work.
How we take care of our team
Professional pay and benefits
Above-market hourly rates, paid sick leave, mileage reimbursement, and transit coverage. We invest in the people who show up for families.
Real training, not orientation
You complete baseline neuroaffirming training, then receive individualized training from our behavior analyst on your specific child's needs before your first shift. No generic videos.
Direct employment
You're an employee with payroll, protections, and stability. Not a contractor. Not a gig worker.
A team behind you
When something gets hard, you're not on your own. Our behavior analyst and operations team are there to support you while you're on site.
A community, not just a job
Slack channels, optional social events, and a team of people doing the same meaningful work. You're part of something, not just picking up shifts.
Experience that builds your future
Hands-on work with neurodivergent populations, mentorship from credentialed professionals, and skills that strengthen graduate school applications and resumes.

We're building our founding team ahead of our Fall 2026 launch in the DC metro area.
