Here's what sets Kids First apart
Escape the urgency:
Trade the constant "put out fires" feeling for a steady caseload, where you see children regularly and get to know their families well.
Ditch the isolation:
Walk down the hall to talk through a tricky case with a speech pathologist, OT or fellow psychologist.
Keep growing:
Build your confidence and skills with regular mentoring and clinical support from experienced colleagues.
Leave work at work:
Admin time for each and every client is built into your daily schedule, so you're not taking work home.
Person first, practitioner second:
We're committed to helping work match life.
