About The Position

Hello School Social Workers! Come work with a local, women, and therapist founded and run company! Ampersand Therapy is looking for School Social Workers for the 2024-2025 School year. This position will be in-person and with both full-time and part-time positions available. The position starts with the 24-25 school year and is open to in-person candidates only. Multiple open positions are available, and the caseload will be discussed during the interview process. Responsibilities include attending IEP meetings, documentation, participating in staff meetings, and collaborating with the school Special Education team. Ampersand Therapy empowers you to serve your students! We're a small company, local to Northern Colorado and Western WA, and are proud to be women, minority, and therapist owned and run. We began our career working in the districts and also as contractors. We sought to create an alternative to working with big staffing companies. The result is a small team of like-minded specialists who are striving to create a company that we would want to work for. Because we are therapists ourselves, we are deeply appreciative of and understand the work that you do. We're also in a unique position to be able to support and mentor those who are new to this practice area. We're so passionate about students that we're often working in the schools ourselves. You might find us doing treatments alongside you! Our values focus on equity, community, and sustainability. We are committed to creating a climate of equity and opportunity for all people, supporting local and national organizations, and reducing our environmental impact. We believe in listening and learning to address racism and discrimination in schools and empower our team to support causes that are meaningful to them. We also support sustainable work practices, including reducing paper use and finding lower-waste treatment options.
