We are a values driven company on a mission to make exceptional autism therapy more affordable and accessible for thousands of families who are stuck on waitlists.

We're not your typical therapy business! We are searching for a lead clinical therapist to join the team and accelerate our mission. We are looking for an out-of-the-box thinker who is passionate about making a difference in the disability sector, and be a part of building something extraordinary!

What makes this role different

• Part clinician, part innovator: Get the best of both worlds! Spend part of your time working hands on with families via telehealth, with the rest of your time spent developing innovative therapy approaches and collaborating with the product and design teams

• Mostly remote location and role flexibility: We are committed to schedules and locations that work for your life. We’re open to part time therapists, and open to mostly remote candidates who perhaps want to maintain existing private practice clients.

• Early stage tech company: Join the founding team to be at the forefront of building a transformative therapy service that transforms lives and scales therapy
• Competitive pay rate: You will be well compensated for your experience and expertise. Perhaps you would like to join the Kite team, while maintaining a small book of existing private practice clients.
