Join Us as a Part‑Time Registered Behavior Technician (RBT)

As an RBT, you’ll provide one‑one ABA therapy to children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), helping them build communication, social, and daily living skills while reducing challenging behaviors. You’ll work closely with a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) and a collaborative care team to deliver high‑quality, compassionate care.

• Provide basic care (e.g., toileting, eating) as needed

What You’ll Need:

• Reliable transportation
• RBT certification is preferred, but not required - if you're positive, motivated, and eager to learn, we’ll provide the training and support to help you succeed.
• Prior experience working with children—ASD experience strongly preferred
• Ability to commit to a consistent weekly schedule
• Physically able to perform job duties (e.g., kneeling, bending, lifting up to 40 lbs., moving with children)

• Accrued paid sick time and benefits available for eligible employees.
