Benefits

  • About HelloHero

over 15,000 students through school districts in 28 states.

We focus on fair compensation and exceptional support through our Service Managers. 75% of our clinicians

have been with us for over 3 years, reflecting the consistency and support we provide.

Our mission is to ensure students receive the services they need to succeed—while creating a more

sustainable, supported environment for the clinicians who make that possible.

Why Our Roles Are Different

● Clear expectations – Defined workflows and documentation standards

● Real support – Dedicated Service Manager who advocates for YOU with schools and supports you

day-to-day, along with structured onboarding and consistent, responsive communication

● Access to assessment tools and resources – Supporting evaluation and reporting so you’re not

sourcing or managing materials on your own

● Peer support – Access to internal, discipline-specific chat channels for real-time collaboration,

questions, and shared resources

● Fair compensation – You’re paid for sessions, documentation, and no-shows—not just time in session

● Flexibility – Choose to work as a HelloHero employee or independent contractor, with part-time and

full-time options. While services are delivered during school hours, you’ll have flexibility in how you

manage your day and caseload

● Streamlined technology – Sessions are delivered through our proprietary platform, simplifying

scheduling, documentation, and service delivery

● Efficient scheduling tools – Our platform includes auto-scheduling capabilities for many assignments,

reducing time spent coordinating sessions

● Opportunities for growth – Flexibility to build and expand your caseload over time based on

your preferences and availability
