They will maintain daily logs, provide clinical assessments, and facilitate meetings and workshops as needed.  It is important that they have a good system to keep records and provide necessary paperwork.  They will be working independently and will not be coming into a therapy team, though Kaleidoscope would like to grow this side of our offerings.

They will be a passionate, creative teacher/therapist who will keep current with developments in Play Therapy research and practice. 

Must also get SCARS certified once employed and be CPR/First aid trained and keep both current.

Must be able to drive as much of the work takes plays within schools across the island.

An additional Art based Degree would be beneficial.
