Job description

Home Health Aide experience counts here! Use your caregiving skills with children and build a second job—or the start of a new career in ABA.

At United Care ABA, we know that Home Health Aides develop strong caregiving skills—patience, compassion, consistency, and the ability to support individuals through challenges. Those same skills translate extremely well to working with children in Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA).

We are actively hiring Behavior Technicians (BTs) who are passionate about helping children grow and succeed.

This position works well for two types of candidates:

• Home Health Aides who currently work in home care and want a second job working with children during after-school hours.
• Individuals with past Home Health Aide experience who are looking to apply those caregiving skills in a new professional direction.

Many of the strengths that make someone successful as a Home Health Aide—patience, empathy, reliability, and attention to detail—are the same strengths that make an excellent Behavior Technician.

Why United Care ABA?

We’re not just offering a job—we’re offering a career path. At United Care ABA, we support Behavior Technicians with training, mentorship, and a team culture that helps you grow professionally.

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

Regular Check-Ins and Clinical Supervision
You will work under experienced Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs) who provide mentorship and guidance.

Clear Path for Growth
We support advancement from Behavior Technician to Registered Behavior Technician (RBT) and beyond.

Future Opportunities
Team members who demonstrate strong ability may have opportunities for full-time roles as our clinics expand.

Scholarship Opportunities
Top performers may have access to educational support and scholarships for advanced careers in ABA, including BCBA.

Strong Team Culture
You’ll work alongside professionals who care about your development and the success of the children we serve.

What We Offer to Behavior Technicians

Career Development
Structured support to help you become a certified RBT and gain experience in the ABA field.

Flexible Scheduling
Full-time and part-time positions available, including after-school and evening hours that work well as a second job.

Supportive Work Environment
Training, guidance, and responsive administrative support.

Collaborative Culture
You’ll be part of a team that values communication, consistency, and meaningful outcomes for children.

Paid Time Off and benefits for eligible full-time employees.
Pay starting at $20–$23 per hour, based on experience, with opportunities for increases after 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.

Strong communication skills and a professional demeanor.

Dependability, attention to detail, and the ability to follow clinical guidance.

Interest in building experience in Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA).

Behavior Technician Responsibilities

Work directly with children under the supervision of a BCBA to implement individualized ABA therapy.

Follow treatment plans designed to improve communication, behavior, and daily living skills.

Accurately record session data and provide feedback to supervisors.

Build strong, consistent relationships with children and families.

Maintain professionalism and compassion in all interactions.

Participate in team meetings and complete required training.

Why You Should Join Us

This is more than a job—it’s an opportunity to use your caregiving experience in a new setting while helping children build critical skills.

Whether you’re adding a second job alongside your Home Health Aide work or applying past caregiving experience to a new professional path, United Care ABA provides the training, mentorship, and opportunity to grow.
