Job description
BCA - Behavioral Health Technician(BHT) / Clinical Assistant
Center-Based ABA Program
Full-Time | Monday–Friday | 8:00 AM–5:15 PM
No nights. No weekends. Just impact.
Regional Behavioral Consultants, Inc. (RBC, Inc.) is a provider of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) and behavioral health services for children and adolescents. We provide individualized, evidence-based interventions across center-based and approved community settings, including schools and daycare environments.
At RBC, our mission is to provide high-quality, consumer-driven services that promote growth, independence, dignity, and meaningful outcomes for the children and families we serve.
We are looking for a motivated, organized, flexible, and compassionate professional to join our Center-Based ABA Program as a BCA – Behavioral Health Technician (BHT)/Clinical Assistant.
The BHT/Clinical Assistant (BCA) is a unique hybrid position combining direct behavioral health services, clinical support, center programming, and clinical operations.
This is not a traditional administrative position.
The BCA plays an active role in the daily functioning of our center and serves as an implementation resource for clients, Behavioral Health Technicians, and Clinical Leadership. The position requires someone who can move comfortably between direct client care, center programming, preparation, organization, staff support, and changing clinical priorities throughout the day.
The ideal candidate is someone who enjoys working directly with children but is also ready to take on increased responsibility within an ABA environment.
Direct client coverage is an essential function of this position. Clinical and client needs may require modification of previously scheduled administrative or planning activities.
Center Clinical Operations | Approximately 40–50%
The BCA helps ensure that our center is clinically prepared, organized, engaging, and ready to support high-quality ABA services each day.
- Develop and finalize weekly center programming and activity plans according to established deadlines.
Prepare engaging materials, activities, STEM opportunities, adventure activities, leisure programming, and environmental supports. - Develop materials that support individual client treatment goals and programming.
- Prepare circle time, art activities, reinforcement materials, visual supports, and other center programming.
- Maintain organization and clinical readiness of treatment areas.
- Prepare treatment spaces and materials for upcoming clients, activities, transitions, and special programming.
- Monitor clinical materials and communicate supply or resource needs.
- Manage and organize toys, treatment materials, and center resources.
- Complete assigned CCP and programming updates under the direction of Clinical Leadership.
- Assist with center bulletin boards, client artwork, visual displays, and staff communication areas.
- Identify operational barriers and bring potential solutions to Clinical Leadership.
- Help ensure established center expectations and routines are implemented consistently.
- Complete assigned opening and/or closing responsibilities.
Approximately 25–40%
The BCA maintains an active Behavioral Health Technician function and should expect direct client interaction to remain an important part of the position.
- Provide scheduled direct BHT services.
- Provide client coverage during unexpected staff absences or scheduling changes.
- Step into direct services when client or center needs require additional support.
- Provide in-session assistance to BHTs within the BCA's training and scope.

- Assist during client transitions and periods of increased behavioral need.
- Support client safety and established bathroom routines.
- Respond appropriately during behavioral crises using RBC-approved safety and crisis-management procedures.
- Lead client activities and implement established clinical directives.
- Provide temporary client coverage so Clinical Leadership can conduct observations, supervision, training, or other clinical responsibilities.

The BCA serves as an implementation resource within the center.
- Model established center routines and expectations.
- Help BHT/RBT staff locate and prepare appropriate treatment materials.

- Help staff prepare for activities, transitions, and center programming.
- Identify barriers to successful treatment implementation and communicate them to the appropriate Clinical Leader.
- Assist with orientation and practical center support for new team members.
- Promote consistency, professionalism, organization, and teamwork throughout the center.
- The BCA does not independently modify treatment plans, make clinical treatment decisions, provide formal staff performance management, or independently oversee cases. These responsibilities remain with qualified Clinical Leadership.
- Enter, review, and/or support data processes within Kidnet according to organizational and Managed Care Organization (MCO) requirements.
- Attend required team meetings, trainings, and supervision.
- Assist Clinical Leadership in identifying client and program needs.
- Prepare and distribute treatment materials for center and community-based programming.
- Maintain professional communication with Clinical Leadership and team members.
- Complete documentation and assigned responsibilities within established timelines.
- Maintain client confidentiality and comply with HIPAA requirements.
This position is best suited for someone who doesn't need every day to look exactly the same.
A successful BCA is someone who can recognize what needs to be done, organize priorities, adapt when clinical needs change, and communicate proactively when assistance or reprioritization is needed.
- Bachelor's degree in education, psychology, social work, counseling, behavioral health, or a related field required.
- Valid driver's license required.
