About PLN 

Founded on Skid Row in 1980, Para Los Niños (PLN) partners with more than 10,000 children, youth, and families each year through integrated education, wellness supports and advocacy, addressing individual and systemic barriers to create pathways to success. In addition to operating early education centers, charter elementary and middle schools, youth workforce development sites and family services, PLN is the only children’s mental health provider in the Skid Row neighborhood. In addition, PLN's community transformation work brings together community members, community-based organizations, city and county agencies, elected officials, and businesses to tackle issues that impact PLN families. Ninety-three percent of families served by PLN live in areas with the highest levels of food insecurity and homelessness in L.A. County.

  • Communicate effectively and regularly with support staff, administration, and families regarding student behavior and progress.
  • Collaborate with the BCBA (Board Certified Behavior Analyst) or designated Behavior Specialist to implement behavior intervention plans, collect data on student behavior, and adjust strategies based on ongoing analysis and feedback. 

Program Coordination & Documentation

  • Accurately document behavioral incidents, intervention strategies used, and student responses.
  • Assist in coordinating student schedules for check-ins, behavior support blocks, or assigned intervention groups.
  • Support after-school or extended-day programming for students needing continued behavioral support.
  • Maintain accurate and timely records in accordance with school, district, and legal guidelines for student privacy and data management.
  • Collect and document behavior data consistently, including frequency counts, duration recording, ABC (Antecedent-Behavior-Consequence) data, and other relevant measures aligned with student behavior support plans.

  • Prior experience supporting students with emotional or behavioral disorders (EBD), autism, ADHD, or trauma-related needs. 
  • Familiarity with Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports (PBIS), Multi-Tiered Systems of Support (MTSS), and restorative practices. 
  • Training or certification in behavior management programs such as CPI (Crisis Prevention Intervention), Safety-Care, or de-escalation techniques (Preferred). 
  • CPR & First Aid certification.  
  • Must be able to pass a TB test and background check, at the time of offer.  
  • Travel Requirements: Up to 15% within Los Angeles County requiring access to reliable transportation (car, rideshare, bus, bike, etc.).
