Job Description
Locally Owned | One Location | On-Site Leadership |
Monday-Friday Schedule About Us:
Tired of feeling like a number? So were we. Our founders spent years working in large ABA organizations and saw firsthand the challenges that can come with rapid growth and corporate decision-making. We created CANS to be a place where employees know their leadership team personally, families know who owns the organization, and decisions are made locally by people who work alongside the team every day. We aren't trying to become the biggest ABA company in the country. We're focused on building an exceptional center for the children, families, and employees we serve right here in our community. If you're looking for a workplace where your contributions are valued, your voice is heard, and your work truly makes a difference, we'd love to meet you. Apply today and see what makes CANS different.
