About the Role

Salary | $60,000 | Benefits | Remote

We're looking for a compassionate, engaging, and energetic Youth Gaming Therapy Facilitator to support children and teens through therapeutic gaming programs.

This role is particularly well-suited for Occupational Therapy Assistants (OTAs), Child & Youth Workers (CYWs), Therapeutic Recreation professionals, Educational Assistants, Behaviour Interventionists, educators, counselors, and others with experience supporting youth in developmental, educational, behavioural, or therapeutic settings.

Working alongside Occupational Therapists and other members of our team, you'll facilitate small online groups where youth build social, emotional, and communication skills through structured gaming experiences, including Minecraft and virtual reality (VR).

Many of the youth we support are neurodivergent, including children with autism, ADHD, anxiety, and social communication challenges. You'll play an important role in helping participants build confidence, develop friendships, and practice meaningful life skills in a safe and supportive environment.

If you enjoy helping young people grow, building meaningful relationships, and using creative approaches to support development, we'd love to hear from you.

What You'll Do

  • Facilitate online therapeutic gaming groups for children and teens.
  • Create safe, inclusive, and encouraging environments where participants feel supported and valued.
  • Help youth develop social communication, teamwork, problem-solving, emotional regulation, confidence, and peer relationship skills through structured gameplay.
  • Support group engagement and participation while adapting activities to individual needs.
  • Observe and document group dynamics, progress, and areas where participants may benefit from additional support.
  • Collaborate closely with Occupational Therapists to support therapeutic goals, monitor progress, and help youth practice skills in meaningful and engaging ways.
  • Build positive relationships with participants and families through professional and compassionate communication.
  • Contribute ideas that help improve and expand our gaming therapy programs.

What We're Looking For

Required Qualifications

  • Experience working with children or youth in therapeutic, educational, recreational, behavioural, community, or healthcare settings.
  • Experience facilitating groups, activities, camps, programs, social skills groups, or therapeutic sessions for children or youth.
  • Strong understanding of child development, social-emotional learning, and group dynamics.
  • Excellent communication and facilitation skills.
  • Ability to build rapport with youth and create psychologically safe environments.
  • Strong problem-solving skills and adaptability in group settings.
  • Comfortable using technology and facilitating sessions remotely.
  • Familiarity with Minecraft or a willingness to learn how gaming can be used as a therapeutic tool.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Occupational Therapy Assistant (OTA) diploma or experience working alongside Occupational Therapists.
  • Experience supporting neurodivergent youth, including children with autism, ADHD, anxiety, or social communication challenges.
  • Experience facilitating therapeutic, recreational, educational, or social skills groups.
  • Background in counselling, psychology, social work, child and youth care, therapeutic recreation, education, or related fields.
  • Experience with Minecraft, virtual reality (VR), esports, or online communities.

Who Thrives Here?

This role is a great fit for someone who:

  • Loves working with children and teens.
  • Enjoys gaming and understands its potential as a tool for connection, growth, and skill development.
  • Is confident leading groups and adapting on the fly.
  • Brings empathy, patience, creativity, and positive energy to every interaction.
  • Values inclusion and helping young people feel seen, supported, and successful.
  • Wants to make a meaningful impact while doing something innovative and fun.

Why Join Mud Club?

  • 100% remote position.
  • Work alongside Occupational Therapists and professionals who are passionate about innovative therapy approaches.
  • Help youth develop meaningful life skills through activities they genuinely enjoy.
  • Be part of a supportive, collaborative, and mission-driven team.
  • Contribute to a growing field that combines gaming, therapy, and community building.
  • Yes, you really do get to play Minecraft for work while making a meaningful impact in young people's lives.
