Job description

Position Overview

This opportunity is designed specifically for certified Registered Behavior Technicians (RBTs) who are looking to grow their experience in Applied Behavior Analysis. In this role, you will deliver direct ABA services to children and their families by implementing individualized treatment plans developed by a supervising BCBA. Services are provided in client homes or community-based settings depending on each client's needs. Most sessions are scheduled Monday through Friday between 3:00 PM and 8:00 PM, with flexibility to accommodate your availability. Compensation ranges from $22 to $30 per hour based on experience, consistency of availability, and overall qualifications. Spanish-speaking RBTs may qualify for premium pay.

Responsibilities

As an RBT, you will implement behavior intervention and skill acquisition programs designed to improve communication, social interaction, and independence in daily living activities. You will collect accurate session data, follow behavior support plans, and collaborate with supervising BCBAs and team members to ensure treatment integrity. Using evidence-based ABA strategies, you will teach new skills while decreasing behaviors that may interfere with safety or independence. Success in this role requires professionalism, consistency, compassion, and a strong commitment to helping clients make measurable progress.

Candidates must hold an active Registered Behavior Technician (RBT) certification in good standing. Experience working with children, particularly within ABA or related pediatric settings, is preferred.

Strong communication skills, teamwork, and the ability to maintain a professional and supportive presence are essential.

Additional requirements include a high school diploma or equivalent (associate or bachelor's degree preferred), a valid driver's license, reliable transportation, and active auto insurance listing you as a covered driver. A current negative TB test is required. The role may involve lifting up to 50 pounds and actively engaging with clients throughout sessions. RBTs must demonstrate reliability, sound judgment, creativity in implementing programs, and adherence to ethical and clinical standards.

Benefits and Compensation

We offer competitive hourly pay, flexible scheduling, and a supportive work environment focused on clinical excellence and professional growth. Medical, dental and vision benefits are available for full time employees.

Additional Benefits

• Paid Time Off (PTO) and sick leave
• Mileage reimbursement and drive time pay
• Structured performance-based pay increases
• Incentive pay structure
