The Opportunity

Ready to take the next step in your ABA career? As a Lead RBT for our Social Connections Program, you're the glue that holds the program together — and the go‑to person newer BTs/RBTs look up to. You'll bring structure and consistency to a program built around helping kids build the social skills that carry them through life, all while stepping into real leadership: mentoring teammates, sharpening program systems, and partnering closely with BCBAs to move kids toward their goals. This is a role built for someone ready to lead by example, not just by title.

What You'll Do

Clinical Leadership & Direct Care

• Provide hands‑on ABA therapy one-on‑one or in group sessions within our Social Connections Program framework, bringing energy and consistency to every child you work with.
• Bring BCBA‑designed goals to life — reinforcement, teaching, and behavior‑reduction procedures, discrete trial teaching, and more.
• Use your judgment (within BCBA‑approved frameworks) to adapt strategies in the moment while partnering with BCBAs on treatment integrity.
• Conduct and help interpret stimulus preference assessments, and collaborate with BCBAs on client goals, skill assessments, and checklists.
• Keep documentation sharp — accurate data collection, session notes, and program books, with sessions converted in Central Reach within 24 hours.
• Design creative teaching and therapeutic materials that make learning click.

Program & Classroom Leadership

• Own program organization, weekly schedules, and activity programming that keeps every day running smoothly.
• Forecast and manage supplies and inventory so the team always has what they need.
• Design and send out monthly newsletters that keep families and staff in the loop.
• Champion employee engagement — shout‑out boards, gift cards, pizza parties, and other ways to celebrate the team.

Team Leadership & Mentorship

• Be the first friendly face and go‑to resource for new BTs/RBTs — especially on Central Reach and day‑to‑day workflows.
• Train, coach, and give real‑time, constructive feedback to teammates.
• Step in to provide clinic‑level coverage when the team needs it most, working confidently with kids across all levels of the spectrum.
• Hit and hold your competency benchmarks, modeling the standard you expect from others.

Family Partnership & Professionalism

• Welcome clients and families and support daily arrival and dismissal procedures.
• Talk through daily progress with parents and caregivers with warmth and clarity.
• Protect client well‑being, dignity, and confidentiality in every interaction.
• Show up prepared, on time, and ready — and keep growing through continuing education.
• Comply with all BACB and company policies, procedures, and ethical guidelines.

What You'll Need

• High school diploma
• Active, unexpired RBT Certification OR minimum of 1 year experience as a BT in a center‑based service setting
• Minimum of 6 months of experience as an RBT in a center‑based service setting
• BCBA student status strongly preferred
• A detail‑oriented approach to reports and session notes
• Excellent verbal and written communication skills
• Comfort learning new systems like Central Reach
• Internal candidates: must meet 80% on competencies and be in good standing
