Pros

Coworkers who care about you and the young people. Your innovation and ideas are welcome and praised. Seeing real change in the young people. Have fun while being paid (from parks to themeparks). Neurodiversity is accepted and welcome.

Cons

Only one child therapist role - it's all on you even if your circumstances change (i.e. lack of flexibility for accommodations due to health changes). Travel to Toowoomba sometimes (a long day). Need to fit in all kids each week so expect to work outside of business hours. Occasionally you will face young people's behaviours that could be frightening, hurt you, and will challenge you personally (support from team though!) Can feel like a taxi or babysitting service SOMETIMES due to carer needs.
