Consistent schedule, stable hours, and no weekends.

Clinic‑based ABA therapy with in‑person BCBA supervision, so you’re supported throughout your day.

At Kind Behavioral Health, you’ll work in a team‑oriented, clinic‑based environment with lower BCBA caseloads, giving you more access to guidance, coaching, and real‑time support.

With over 20 years of experience serving children and families in North Carolina, we bring a proven, well‑established ABA therapy model to every clinic, now expanding into Georgia.

What Makes This Role Different

• Consistent schedule and stable hours – designed to reduce cancellations and gaps in your day
• No weekends – Monday to Friday schedule
• In‑person BCBA supervision – real‑time coaching and support throughout your day
• Lower BCBA caseloads – more access, guidance, and feedback for RBTs
• Clinic‑based environment – work alongside your team, not in isolation
• Team‑based culture – collaborate, learn, and grow with peers and clinicians
• High‑quality, ethical ABA therapy model focused on doing what’s right for clients and clinicians

Compensation & Benefits

• $16.50–$24.00/hour depending on experience and RBT certification level
• Higher starting rates available for experienced RBTs
• Health insurance
• Dental insurance
• Vision insurance
• 401(k) with company contribution
• Paid time off
• Paid holidays
• Paid training
• Professional development assistance
• Referral program available
• Paid time between client sessions
• More consistent income compared to typical ABA roles

What You’ll Do

• Provide 1:1 ABA therapy to children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD)
• Implement behavior intervention plans designed by a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA)
• Collect and record data on client progress during sessions
• Interact with clients and caregivers throughout sessions
• Create engaging, fun, and motivating learning environments for children
• Collaborate daily with your clinical team

Schedule & Work Environment

• Full‑time and part‑time opportunities available
• Monday to Friday schedule

• Full‑time roles:
  • Consistent shift options:
    • 8:00am–4:00pm
    • 11:00am–7:00pm
• Part‑time roles:
  • Flexible scheduling based on availability and clinic needs
• Services delivered across clinic, home, and community settings, with strong clinic‑based support

Growth & Career Path

• Four‑level RBT career path with structured opportunities for growth, promotion, and increased earnings
• Clear progression from Behavior Technician → Registered Behavior Technician (RBT) → Senior RBT → Lead RBT
• Promotional opportunities reviewed twice per year based on demonstrated skill and competency growth
• Structured Fieldwork Program with 1:1 BCBA mentorship
• Up to $15,000 incentive opportunity tied to successful completion of the Fieldwork Program and BCBA readiness milestones
• Ongoing training and professional development opportunities

Qualifications

• RBT certification (or willingness to obtain within 90 days – paid training provided)
• Experience working with children in structured or caregiving settings required (ABA, childcare, education, or related fields)
• Ability to think on your feet, stay engaged, and create a positive, interactive environment for children
• Strong communication skills and ability to work as part of a team
• Reliable transportation

This is an active, hands‑on role. You’ll spend time on your feet, on the floor, and actively engaging with children throughout the day. You should be comfortable lifting up to 50lbs and responding quickly to movement as needed.
