Job Description:

We are a neurotherapy practice in Coeur d'Alene looking for a Neurotherapy Technician to run our EEG recordings and support neurofeedback and neurostimulation sessions. You do not need a background in neuroscience. You do need to be the kind of person who does a job the same correct way the hundredth time as the first time — in this work, that is not a personality quirk, it is the entire job. We will teach you the rest, and we will pay for your certification. About the schedule — please read this part This is a 25-hour-per-week position, and we are looking for someone who wants a 25-hour position. Our clients come twice a week for a course of 20-30 sessions, and the person running those sessions becomes a familiar face they count on. If you are looking for full-time, this is not the right role, and we would rather say so now. The schedule is fixed and predictable: Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM with an unpaid hour for lunch, and Thursday 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM. No evenings, no weekends, Fridays off. That consistency is a real feature of this job and fits well around coursework, family, a second role, or a semi-retired schedule. Hours may grow as our program expands, and the person in this role would get first refusal — but we are not promising a date, because that depends on volume we do not control. What the job actually is Most of your day is two things. Recording brain activity. You will measure a client's head, fit an electrode cap, prepare each site until the signal is clean, then record while watching live data for muscle tension, drowsiness, eye movement, and electrode problems — catching and fixing them in real time. You will run computerized attention tasks with scripted instructions. When a recording goes wrong, you say so, and we re-run it. A recording that looks fine and is not costs a client their time, their money, and a return trip. Nobody here gets in trouble for reporting a problem. Running treatment sessions. The clinician designs every protocol. You set up the equipment, load the protocol he assigned, run the session according to his written guidelines, watch how the client is doing, and document it. You never design or change a protocol — that boundary is firm, and we train you on it first. Measurement is part of the job, not paperwork Every client completes a short tablet check-in at the start of every session — four questions, about a minute. You administer it, make sure it is captured, and flag anything meeting our written criteria to the clinical director the same day. That data is how treatment actually gets adjusted, so we track completion rate and expect it above 95%. You will also meet weekly with the clinical director to review how clients are progressing. What you notice in the room is a real input to clinical decisions — unusual for a technician role, and the fastest way to get good at this work. The rest of the role Cleaning and maintaining caps, sensors, coils, and cables — properly, after every use, following our infection-control procedures Managing clinical supplies so we never run out Administering and scoring assessment questionnaires; keeping outcome data accurate and current Building Excel summaries of assessment and outcome data Scheduling and rebooking neurotherapy clients, including confirming both weekly sessions are on the calendar Covering the front desk as needed — check-in, phones, scheduling Who tends to do well here Detail-oriented in a way other people notice. You reread instructions. You check your work. Honest when something goes wrong — immediately, without being asked. Warm and steady with clients. Many are anxious, many are children, and a long procedure goes better when the person running it is calm. Self-directed. Between clients there is always cleaning, stocking, documentation, and data entry waiting. Comfortable with computers — Windows, file management, Excel — and willing to learn clinical software. Curious about what you are recording. Requirements High school diploma or equivalent Steady hands and patience for precise work Reliability — clients are scheduled around you being here Ability to maintain confidentiality and pass a background check Able to stand, reach overhead, do fine motor work, lift up to 25 lbs, and work with gels and cleaning agents Helpful but not required: coursework or a degree in psychology, neuroscience, biology, or a health field; prior EEG, neurodiagnostic, research, or clinical experience; experience with electronic medical records.
