Looking for an Opportunity to Work in Early Intervention?
At the Child Development Institute (CDI), we specialise in early intervention for children with Autism Spectrum Disorder and developmental delays.
Our Company Culture/ Values
Teamwork and collaboration
We believe that all team members are equal contributors and will challenge ideas and not each other for the benefit of their practice. We believe in using processes and tools in daily therapy, meetings and family communications that encourage collaboration, mutual respect and fosters teamwork to create a professional workplace.
Fun
We believe fun should be a part of everything we do because it helps to create a more enjoyable workplace. A fun workplace is a happy space for staff to deliver therapy and a safe and supportive environment in which families can enjoy therapy. Most importantly, fun is at the heart of our play-based therapy – we are always trying to find the smile so that children learn whilst having fun.
Reflective Practice
We believe reflective practice enables staff and families to reflect on their actions and provides a framework for continuous learning. Reflective practice involves paying close attention to the theories and values that inform our actions. By reflectively examining our practice, we can create and environment which fosters developmental insights and meaningful outcomes for families and staff.
