We interview applicants in Spanish to asses your proficiency. In the event that your language is not Spanish, Bilingual Therapies will make every attempt to asses your proficiency with our potential clients.

If I have bilingual skills, but don't have near-native proficiency, can I still work for Bilingual Therapies?

It depends on the site. Resources vary from district to district.

What is the referral bonus plan?
Bilingual Therapies encourages clinicians to refer friends or colleagues for employment. For every referred clinician who is hired and works for the company for one year, the referring employee receives a $500 bonus at the end of the contract year.
