Life at Beacon

Our staff travel to clients’ homes, daycare programs, and other community locations where the child feels most comfortable and is likely to make the most progress. During each session, therapists teach children the skills that they need to attend to others, communicate, share, take turns, play with toys, and conduct activities of daily living such as washing hands and brushing teeth. Therapists design teaching sessions to be fun and interactive. Throughout each session, parents and caregivers are present and involved so that they can continue to practice the skills with the child after the therapist leaves. Supervisors also overlap in sessions regularly to answer any questions and to provide therapists with ongoing training and support. A day in the life of a Beacon staff member provides many opportunities to make a difference in improving the lives of children with autism and other developmental delays!

How does the recruiting process work?

Once you have successfully applied through the beaconct.org website, you will receive an email notification to inform you that you have applied successfully. If your education and experience are consistent with our current employment needs, a representative from our recruitment department will contact you to discuss the position further.

What are next steps?
Once you submit your application, relax and let us take over from here. If you are scheduled for an interview, your recruiter will provide you with all of the information you will need about the next steps in the process.
Generally, how long does it take before I can begin?
We are eager to have qualified candidates join our team and begin making a difference in the lives of children and families throughout the Commonwealth! Qualified applicants can expect to attend an orientation session as soon as 3 weeks after the initial interview. If you are currently working, Beacon respects your responsibility to provide an adequate notice, and we will schedule your orientation to accommodate that notice.
How much training will I receive after I am hired?

At Beacon Services of Connecticut, we view training as a career-long process! Beginning the first week after hire, employees attend an orientation to learn about being a provider in Birth to Three, including topics such as child development and early milestones, Early Intervention and family centered practices, and the primary service provider approach to teaming. New employees then overlap with experienced Early Intervention providers and observe sessions in the field. After the initial orientation is complete, employees then receive further training in the field with skilled therapists, who will model and teach each of the skills needed to work with children and their caregivers, as well as provide encouragement and feedback. But it does not end there! During the first 3 months of employment, professionals receive individually tailored supervision, feedback, and support. Ongoing training is also provided on relevant topics that will further each professionals’ capacity as both a clinician and an early intervention provider. Rest assured, Beacon has a well-designed and organized on-boarding process to optimize your transition to our team!
