Why Join Ampersand Therapy?
We’re not your average staffing company—we’re a small, therapist-founded team committed to supporting professionals who make a difference in schools every day. Many of us still work in schools ourselves. We’ve experienced the challenges and the joy of this field firsthand, and we built Ampersand to create the kind of workplace we always wished for.
Our Core Values
Equity & Inclusion
We believe in inclusive, anti-racist practices. We partner with organizations like The Conscious Kid and are actively listening, learning, and evolving.
Community Engagement
We show up for our communities—volunteering and donating to causes like Special Olympics, Project Canine, and The Moth. We also support your passions, offering volunteer PTO and donation matching.
Environmental Responsibility
From reducing paper waste to low-waste tools, we’re committed to sustainable, eco-conscious operations—and we’re proud to maintain a carbon-negative footprint.
A Welcoming, Inclusive Workplace
Ampersand Therapy is an equal opportunity employer. We welcome and celebrate diversity in all forms—race, gender identity, sexual orientation, age, ability, background, and more. We’re committed to creating an inclusive environment where everyone feels they belong.
