Company:

Nurture Collective, a practice that intersects the complexities of maternal-infant mental health and early childhood intervention, provides various services, including occupational, physical, and speech therapies, lactation support, feeding therapy, and parent-and-baby groups. This BIPOC-owned, female-led, company centers social-emotional development in addressing developmental delays. We also focus on mitigating the development delays by facilitating development of the parent-child relationships and addressing the factors that influence these delays, such as parental mental health and well-being. We believe in building supportive communities to support parents of young children, providing access to families that may not receive therapy services otherwise. We support families in Los Angeles County and the surrounding areas, and accept a variety of commercial insurance, Medi-Cal, and Regional Center funding. We are seeking to hire a part-time physical therapist to provide physical therapy treatment to ensure our families have the tools, support, education, and training they need to support the development of young children (0-5). The ideal candidate is a collaborative and reflective provider with an understanding of child development, parental- infant mental health, and a passion for working on behalf of the healthy development of young children and their caregivers. The candidate must be organized, creative, a good collaborator, and thinks outside the box who can help envision the growth of the organization as well as help us achieve our vision. About the
