Jobbeschreibung

Behavior Therapist, Pediatric ABA – Clinic‑Based

North Shore Pediatric Therapy – 1318 Waukegan Rd., Glenview, IL

Pay: $19/hour to start; $22.50/hour after RBT certification (paid training). Multiple schedules available: mornings, evenings, Saturdays.

This is an entry‑level ABA therapy position. No prior clinical experience is required. We hire full‑time and part‑time candidates, provide training, pay for RBT certification, and offer mentorship from day one.

We are looking for someone who is good with children, stays calm under pressure, and is interested in a career in behavioral health, child psychology, ABA, special education, occupational therapy, or speech‑language pathology.

What a Behavior Technician Does

As a BT, you work 1:1 with autistic children ages 2–12, implementing therapy plans created by a BCBA. You provide a steady, supportive presence in each child’s day.

You will spend most of the day with kids, be on your feet, engaged, and consistent—essential for building trust and progress.

What We Do Differently

We practice assent‑based, neuro‑affirming care: we follow each child's lead, honor boundaries, and build trust before teaching new skills. You will collaborate with occupational therapists, speech‑language pathologists, and mental health professionals in an interdisciplinary environment.

Available Schedules

Both tracks start at $19/hour with a clear RBT‑certification path.

Full‑Time

• Monday–Friday, 8am or 9am start
• Full benefits package (see below)

Part‑Time

• 3pm start + Saturdays required
• Minimum 15 hours per week
• Ideal for students, career changers, or others building toward full time

Pay, Benefits & Growth

• $19/hour to start
• $22.50/hour upon RBT certification (within the first month – fully paid and supported)
• Performance‑based raises every 6 months
• $500+ referral bonus when someone you refer is hired
• Free in‑house CEUs for all team members
• Clear growth tracks: BT → RBT → Lead RBT, or RBT → BCBA pathway with supervised hours and test preparation support

Time Off – 22+ paid days in the first year (full‑time only):

• 7 paid holidays (Memorial Day, Labor Day, 4th of July, Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year's Day + ½ day on New Year's Eve and Christmas Eve)
• 2 personal days
• Medical insurance – company covers 75% of the premium on average
• Dental and vision insurance

• 5 tax‑free spending accounts (FSA, HSA, dependent care, etc.)

Retirement:

• $500+ referral bonus (duplicated above)
• $1,000+ scholarships for employees pursuing a master's or PhD in a clinical field
• Free in‑house CEUs for all team members
• BCBA supervision hours and test preparation support for graduate students

Other benefits for part‑time team members:

• Employee Assistance Program – free counseling for you and your dependents
• $500+ referral bonus
• Free in‑house CEUs
• Paid RBT training and certification
• Performance reviews and raises every 6 months

Who Thrives Here

You do not need a clinical resume. You should have real experience with children—babysitting, coaching, camps, classroom work, tutoring, youth ministry, etc.

• Stay calm and grounded when things get hard
• Find meaning in showing up consistently for someone who needs it
• Can take feedback and use it without getting defensive
• Are curious about careers in ABA, behavioral health, child psychology, special education, occupational therapy, or speech‑language pathology
• Want a full‑time job in the Glenview area with real benefits and room to grow

Requirements:

• High school diploma or GED required; college coursework in psychology, education, or a related field preferred
• Ability to actively engage with children – willing to sit on the floor, walk, lift up to 45 lbs
• Authorized to work in the United States without sponsorship
