About the role

Parkland Health and Hospital System seeks a Certified Child Life Specialist to assess the psychosocial and developmental needs of pediatric inpatients and guide therapeutic interventions. You will promote normal growth and provide education/resources for children, siblings, and families during hospitalization and after discharge. The role requires a Child Life internship completion, a Bachelor's or Master's in a related field, and licensure as a CCLS within six months of hire.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
