Job description

Join ACES as a Behavior Technician!

At ACES, we’re passionate about helping children with autism reach their full potential — and we care just as much about supporting our team. We prioritize work/life balance, employee wellness, and clear growth opportunities in a meaningful, data‑driven field.

As a Behavior Technician, you’ll work one‑on‑one with children, helping them build communication, social, and problem‑solving skills using evidence‑based ABA techniques. If you’re empathetic, motivated, and excited to make a difference, this could be the perfect fit.

What You’ll Do

• Provide 1:1 ABA therapy in our centers or in home‑based settings
• Reinforce positive behaviors using techniques from our industry‑leading training program
• Track client progress using a company‑issued iPad and data systems
• Collaborate with families and supervisors to support each child’s growth

What We Offer

• Competitive pay and benefits
• $1/hour increase after your first year (if in good standing)
• Paid Registered Behavior Technician (RBT®) certification
• Paid, best‑in‑class training program
• Career advancement and mentorship opportunities
• Unlimited employee referral bonuses (up to $500 per referral)
• Medical, dental, and vision benefits available to many part‑time employees
• Company‑issued iPad

Schedule & Hours

This is a part‑time role, starting at approximately 15 hours per week, with opportunities to build additional hours based on availability and business needs.

Qualifications

What We’re Looking For

• Patience, empathy, and a passion for helping children
• Strong communication skills with both children and caregivers
• Sound judgment in dynamic situations
• A desire for a meaningful, hands‑on career

Experience working with children is a plus, including backgrounds such as camp counselor, nanny, preschool teacher, paraprofessional, teacher’s aide, or childcare volunteer—but all applicants are welcome.

What You’ll Need

• High school diploma or GED
• A passion for supporting children and families impacted by autism
• Comfort using tablet‑based technology
• Availability during times most needed by families
• Commitment to completing our paid virtual RBT training program

Physical Requirements

• Direct work with clients may include, without limitation, the following physical demands: sitting, kneeling, squatting, running, twisting and turning, reaching above shoulders and/or frequent physical transitions. Responsibilities listed are illustrative and may change at ACES’ discretion.

Pay Scale

The pay scale provided is the hourly wage range ACES reasonably expects to pay for clinical work (i.e., direct treatment services) performed by team members in the position. ACES pays a different rate for non‑clinical work (i.e., trainings, travel time, meetings, etc.) performed by team members, which is paid at $17.79/hour.

Equal Opportunity Employer

ACES is an Equal Opportunity Employer. All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, marital status, national origin, disability, age or covered veteran status.
