Job description

Help Kids Show the World How Awesome They Are

At DV Therapy, Behavior Technicians are the people kids see most. You're the one on the floor building skills one session at a time, celebrating the first time a child asks for a snack with words, or makes it through a transition without a melt du. That work matters, and we treat it that way.

You’ll deliver ABA sessions in our Palmdale center and in clients’ homes, following treatment plans written by your BCBA. You won’t be figuring it out alone. Your BCBA and Program Manager supervise you, give you feedback in real time, and keep training you so you get better at this every month.

Our whole company runs on a “Fan First” approach. We want families to leave as fans, not just clients. The same goes for our team. If you’re early in your career and want to learn ABA the right way, or you’re an experienced RBT thinking about where this career goes next, this is a good place to grow.

What You Get

Every Behavior Technician, full-time or part-time:

• Hourly rate: $20.00 - $24.00 per hour
• Real support: DV Therapy supports the 3‑Tier model so you’ll work alongside a BCBA and a Master’s Level Program Manager
• Professional liability insurance, covered by DV
• Free, confidential mental health support through LifeCare, with 9 consultations a year. This job asks a lot of your heart, and we want you to have somewhere to put it down
• Paid sick and Vacation time
• T‑Mobile plan option, useful when your workday moves between clinic and homes
• LifeMart employee discounts

Full‑time team members also get:

• Access to Medical, Dental, & Vision insurance
• 6 paid holidays
• Gym stipend
• 401(k) with a match on up to 5%
• CEU reimbursement, gym stipend, T‑Mobile plan option, and LifeMart discounts
• Discretionary profit‑sharing bonus program

Grow With Us

Many of our BTs want to become BCBAs, and we want to help get them there. We have a pathway in place today, and we’re actively building it out. If you’re thinking about grad school and a BCBA career, tell us. People who want this path are helping us shape what it becomes.

What You’ll Do

• Run one‑on‑one ABA sessions in clinic and home settings, using skill‑building programs and behavior intervention plans
• Help kids build communication, daily living, and social skills in ways that carry over to home and school
• Take session data accurately so your BCBA can see what’s working and adjust
• Keep clear, timely session notes and protect client confidentiality
• Partner with your BCBA, Program Manager, and families so every child gets consistent care
• Prep materials and session activities that keep kids engaged
• Show up for supervision and training, and bring your questions

What You Bring

• High school diploma or GED (college coursework is a plus)
• Current CPR certification and TB test
• ABA experience preferred
• RBT certification is a plus but not required
• Spanish fluency is a bonus, and many of our families will be grateful for it, but it’s not required
• Patience, a sense of humor, and a real interest in how kids learn

"I’ve worked in ABA-only clinics before. Having ST and OT down the hall means I’m learning something new every week, not just from trainings, but from lunch conversations."

— Devin R., BCBA, Santa Fe Springs

"The multidisciplinary setup here means I never feel like I’m guessing in my own silo. If I have a question about a kid’s motor planning, the OT is right there, not three referrals away."

— Jordan K., RBT, Palmdale

"I love that leadership actually invests in team building. It's not just a pizza party once a year, it's a whole culture of showing up for each other."

— Selena M., Speech‑Language Pathologist Assistant, Santa Fe Springs
