Job description

CNA looking for a change, or a second job that works with your work schedule? Transition into ABA therapy- work as a Behavior Technician! Build a new future while keeping your CNA shifts!

At United Care ABA, we know many Certified Nursing Assistants (CNAs) are ready for a fresh opportunity—to use their compassion and skills in a new way while building a long-term career. We are actively hiring Behavior Technicians (BTs) who are passionate about working with children and ready to transition into the field of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA). This is a great fit if you’re looking for a second job to balance with day or night CNA shifts, or if you’re ready to make a full career change into ABA.

Why United Care ABA?

We’re not just offering a job—we’re offering a career path. At United Care ABA, we’re proud to support Behavior Technicians with tools, mentorship, and a team‑based culture that helps you succeed and grow.

Hands‑On Training: Learn while you work and prepare for RBT certification with guided support.

Regular Check‑Ins and Clinical Supervision: You’ll have access to experienced BCBAs every step of the way.

Clear Path for Growth: We support your advancement from BT to RBT—and beyond.

Strong Team Culture: You’ll be surrounded by people who care about your development and client success.

We help you grow your skills so you can help children grow theirs.

What We Offer to Behavior Technicians:

• Career Development: Structured support to help you become a certified RBT and explore long‑term clinical roles.
• Flexible Scheduling: Full‑time and part‑time positions available, with in‑home and center‑based work options. Perfect if you’re balancing CNA shifts while transitioning into a new field.
• Supportive Work Environment: Training, guidance, and responsive administrative support.
• Collaborative Culture: You’ll be part of a team that values communication, consistency, and client impact.
• Paid Time Off and benefits for eligible full‑time employees.
• Competitive Hourly Compensation: Pay starting at $22–$28 per hour, based on experience, with potential for increase upon certification and performance.

What We’re Looking For:

• A passion for working with children and a desire to make a lasting difference.
• Willingness to pursue RBT certification within your first few months of employment (required).
• High school diploma or equivalent (college coursework in psychology, education, or related fields is a plus).
• Strong communication skills and a friendly, professional demeanor.
• Dependability, attention to detail, and the ability to follow clinical guidance.
• A long‑term interest in growing within the field of ABA, including pursuing advanced care roles such as RBT and eventually BCBA.

Behavior Technician Responsibilities:

• Work directly with children under the supervision of a BCBA to implement individualized ABA therapy.
• Follow treatment plans and interventions designed to improve communication, behavior, and daily living skills.
• Accurately record session data and provide feedback to supervisors.
• Build strong, consistent relationships with clients and families.
• Maintain professionalism and compassion in all interactions.
• Participate in team meetings and complete required training.
