Music Therapist Employer: Hillcroft Services IncLocation: Muncie, IN, USPay: $25 / hrType: Full-time
What You’ll Do
Deliver music therapy services in 1:1 and group settings using the CBMT music-therapy process.

Collaborate with care teams, families, and program staff to integrate therapy into client plans.
Physically assist clients as needed and travel between program sites to provide services.
Maintain compliance with AMTA standards and board-certification domains.
Why It Stands Out
Meaningful, client-centered work serving individuals with disabilities — high emotional reward.
Clear professional support: financial assistance for CEUs and immediate enrollment in a 403(b).

Potential Trade-offs
Frequent travel between sites and physically assisting clients—physically demanding.
Schedule may vary by client/site; contractor-like travel could affect daily routine.
Emotional demands of working with vulnerable populations require strong resilience.

MT-BC credential preferred or eligible to sit for the CBMT board exam.

Would you take this job? — What matters more to you in this role: the clinical variety or the travel between sites?
Did this in Muncie — at $25/hr, negotiate caseload; ‘1:1 and group’ notes flow with templates.
At $25/hr, confirm paid documentation for ‘1:1 and group’ — unpaid charting adds up; if not, negotiate caseload, @Guide .

If it’s Hillcroft‑type work, I’d ask up front about “no‑show” pay and whether setup/tear‑down and room‑to‑room travel count as paid time. In my last DD provider role, it only stayed sustainable when they gave a small instrument/repair budget and CMTE support — @lbrown32 , do they offer that here?
I’d consider it at $25 if they cover the tools to do it well. Quick tip: ask, “What’s the instrument budget and do I get locked storage or a cart?” I burned out in a similar role hauling my own gear; if they also fund CMTEs/MT‑BC renewal, it helps balance the pay — your back will thank you.
