Job description

LOOKING FOR A CAREER IN APPLIED BEHAVIOR ANALYSIS (ABA)? Join AZA United, an Arizona Top Workplace winner, known around the valley as a community-based organization that provides compassionate and life-changing care for individuals with autism. Arizona Autism United is a leading nonprofit community organization seeking experienced and passionate Behavior Technicians (also known as ABA Therapists) in the East Valley. We are currently looking for individuals to work in the in‑home setting. This is a part‑time position with a pay range of $21‑27 per hour (depending on experience). Behavior Technicians work under the direction of a Licensed Behavior Analyst (BCBA) providing high quality clinic‑based ABA programs for children with autism. Applicants must have an RBT certification or similar experience with direct care for multiple children with autism. This position includes extensive training, ongoing professional development, competitive pay, and raises every six months. AZA United also provides a fantastic career path for staff who are on the BCBA path.

• Applicants must have afternoon availability (afterschool hours) at least 2 days per week.
• Applicants must have at least 6 months of paid or unpaid work experience working with individuals with special needs.
• Applicants must be at least 21 years old.
• Must be able to pass required background checks and other required tests and screenings.

Training One of the things Behavior Technicians tend to look for when evaluating different employers is training and professional development. To begin, every new Behavior Technician spends 2 weeks completing a hands‑on paid training program at our East Valley Center, which is our model for ABA excellence. All Behavior Technicians participate in a monthly virtual professional development seminar hosted by our senior ABA staff members, and all of that is paid time. Monthly supervision and oversight sessions with our BCBAs as well as hands‑on training for each new client provide ongoing support and mentorship.

Career Development The role of Behavior Technician is an excellent way to launch or expand your career in the field of autism treatment. If you don’t already have it, our team will provide all the training and supervision you need to become nationally certified as a Registered Behavior Technician (RBT). For long‑term ABA therapy careers, we offer an in‑house mentoring program and career path to become a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA). Experience with other autism treatment fields such as speech therapy, psychology, or special education is also valuable.
