Job description

The California Autism Center and Learning Group (CAC) was founded in 2014 with the intent to bring client-focused center-based ABA services to the Central Valley. Data supports a center-based model as the most effective method for treating children diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder. Similar to in-home services, the center-based model still allows for individual treatment plans in addition to supplemental home and community-based services as needed. This model also provides more learning opportunities for clients and increased support for staff.

We are a local company located in the heart of the Central Valley. We have Treatment Centers in Fresno, Merced, and Visalia. Our focus is a team approach with positivity and perseverance.

What makes CAC great?

• A center-based autism center provider means no driving to clients' homes or losing hours due to cancellations.
• Regular mentorship and opportunities for professional development.
• A supportive environment focused on a work/life balance.

Behavior Technician - Join Our Team to Make a Difference!

Are you passionate about helping children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) thrive? At California Autism Center, we are dedicated to providing high-quality Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy to young children (ages 18 months to six years) in a supportive and nurturing environment. We are currently seeking compassionate and driven individuals to join our team as Behavior Technicians.

About the Role:

As a Behavior Technician, you will work directly with children diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder, helping them develop essential social, behavioral, and daily living skills. Using a playful and positive approach, you will implement evidence-based treatment plans designed by Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs) to support each child's growth and success in the classroom and community.

Behavior Technicians play a vital role in shaping our clients' lives. Your day-to-day responsibilities will include:

• Working one-on-one with clients to collect data on skill acquisition and behavioral progress, all recorded digitally on iPads.
• Reducing behavioral excesses by following structured treatment plans.
• Regularly communicating with supervisors and team members to ensure the best possible outcomes for our clients.
• During downtime, you will also be responsible for performing janitorial tasks such as sweeping, mopping, disinfecting toys and surfaces, dishwashing, trash disposal, stocking restrooms and kitchens, etc.

• Supportive Supervision: Each Behavior Technician is paired with an on-site supervisor who provides consistent guidance and support. We also offer quarterly performance reviews, monthly supervisor meetings, and regular team bonding activities to foster a collaborative work environment.
• Career Growth Opportunities: We are committed to your professional development, offering paths beyond the Behavior Technician role, including positions such as training coordinators, case assistants, and case managers. Additionally, we provide BCBA supervision for graduate students and ongoing supervision for maintaining RBT certification.
• Work-Life Balance: Enjoy a predictable schedule with no evenings, weekends, or driving. Our Treatment Center operates Monday through Friday, from 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM, ensuring you maintain a healthy work-life balance.

Requirements/Qualifications:

We are looking for candidates who are enthusiastic about making a difference in children's lives and meet the following qualifications:

• Educational Background: High school diploma or equivalent is required; college coursework in ABA, psychology, child development, or related fields is a plus.
• Technical Skills: Proficiency in Microsoft Office Suite and the ability to use an Apple iPad daily for data tracking and communication.
• Availability: A minimum of 16 hours per week, available in four-hour blocks, within our operating hours (Monday - Friday, 8:00 AM - 6:00 PM).
• Background Check: Ability to pass a criminal background check and fingerprinting.
• Health Requirements: Ability to provide immunization records, including proof of TB test clearance. Reasonable accommodations for vaccinations will be provided as needed.
• Preferred Experience: Previous experience working with children, especially those with special needs, and a bachelor's degree in psychology, education, child development, or related fields.
