Job description

Description

We're looking for a Behavioral Health Technician, working in the Healthcare Systems and Services industry in Little Elm, Texas, United States.

Do you excel in building relationships with children and their families with trust and care?

Do you have a passion for helping neurodiverse children feel great about themselves while building confidence to achieve daily and long-term social and behavioral success?

Are you a compassionate caregiver with at least a high school diploma (or GED) located in Little Elm, TX?

Centria Health is looking for Behavioral Health Technicians to work one-on-one with children and families with autism to implement learning programs, collect data on target behaviors, communicate with stakeholders, maintain client confidentiality, and regularly meet with their direct leader. You will build trust and care with the child and their family in their home setting within 15 minutes from where you reside.

Our comprehensive paid behavioral health training will prepare you to directly impact the developmental growth of children diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and guide you to support your assigned child through their unique development opportunities, including potentially aggressive reactions. Under the guidance of a Board-Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA), you will use evidence-based techniques to teach communication, social, and daily living skills while reducing interfering behaviors.

What makes this role unique?

• Family-home environment
• 15-20 hours/week
• Assignments within 15 minutes from your residence
• Paid training
• 401k savings plan

What your day will look like:

• At the child’s home, you will adapt teaching techniques to various physical and mental behaviors to provide one-on-one developmental and behavioral support, understanding some patient styles may be more confrontational than others.
• For guided help, you will partner with a Behavior Analyst (BCBA) to implement individualized behavioral intervention plans which may include many physical and mental exercises to provide optimal support to your assigned child.
• You will use evidence-based techniques to actively engage with children through physical activities which may include standing, walking, sitting, grasping, reaching, bending, kneeling, crouching, squatting, lifting, and at times carrying children or objects that weigh up to 50 pounds.

How we take care of our team members:

• An starting hourly rate between $17-$20 that increases based on experience, certification level, and highest level of education.
• Unlimited opportunities to make an impact in the life of a child with special needs.
• A structured career path in the field of Behavioral Analysis.
• Discounts to hundreds of retail partners via our Benefit Hub.
