Job description

At North Shore Pediatric Therapy in Arlington Heights, IL, we're looking for dedicated individuals to join our team as a Registered Behavior Technician.

Why North Shore Pediatric Therapy?

We hire our RBTs for character first and experience second, and applicants must demonstrate integrity, kindness, and patience. As part of a clinical team, you’ll be providing a life-changing service that affects entire families today, tomorrow, and years into the future. In just a few weeks of ABA therapy, one of your kiddos might go from lacking the important vocabulary to finally being able to express what she wants and how she’s feeling, or from antisocial behaviors to cheerfully greeting her family. Our success stories are numerous, requiring excellence from every team member.

• Career Path & Certification: We offer comprehensive training and support. We provide all the support you need as a Registered Behavior Technician. For those studying ABA and working towards their BCBA, we have a formalized Assistant Clinical Coordinator (ACC) pathway to help you in studying for the BCBA exam and earning your restricted and unrestricted hours.
• Interdisciplinary Support: You'll thrive in our multi-disciplinary environment, working with teams in Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA), Neuropsychology, Occupational Therapy, Physical Therapy, Speech-Language Pathology, and Mental Health.
• Flexible scheduling: Many of our kiddos need after school, evening, and Saturday hours. You'll let us know the days and times you are available, and we'll build your caseload!
• Benefits include 401(k) with company match, paid time off (for full-time employees), health, dental, and vision insurance (for full-time employees), and paid holidays (for full-time employees).

Who makes a great Registered Behavior Technician?

• You have an active RBT Certification and are in good standing with the BACB.
• You have prior childcare experience, especially with kids with developmental needs, or caretaking experience, such as a nurse or aide.
• You are studying or are interested in psychology or child development.
• You have a love of active play and enjoy engaging in children's games and making learning fun!
• You have a friend or family member on the autism spectrum and can envision yourself in a caretaker role.
• You are described by others as having unflappable patience and compassion. Autism affects each person in diverse ways, and you will need to provide consistent, calm care and follow-up.
• You have a background in teaching, assisting, counseling, or coaching.
• You have an interest or background in other pediatric therapies, such as speech, physical, or occupational therapy. Our multi-disciplinary approach involves collaboration with various specialists.
• You possess basic computer skills and learn new technology quickly. We will teach you how to use our electronic medical system for notes, assessments, and treatment summaries.
• Even if you do not match all the above criteria, but are inspired by our work and our impact on children’s lives, we encourage you to apply.

What does a Registered Behavior Therapist do?

You will provide 1:1 care to our kiddos, executing a therapy plan designed by your supervisor, a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA). ABA therapy uses reinforcement to teach skills needed for independence, social relationships, and replacing behaviors that impede learning. Children with autism spectrum disorders understand and interact differently, and your role is to make learning fun while accommodating their sensory needs.

Many kiddos with ASD experience emotional overload, leading to intense verbal and physical responses. As a Behavior Therapist, patience and compassion are essential, and we will teach you how to manage these behaviors effectively.

Whether you have a clear purpose and passion or are exploring career options, we will teach you the skills to make an impact today and how this role can evolve over 1, 3, 5 years, and beyond.

Our two-step interview process ensures you understand our culture and how you will contribute:

• Video Interview: Meet our recruiting team to discuss compensation, benefits, and culture. We want to understand your values.
• In-Person Interview: Visit the center, meet team members, and observe a session.

Compensation ranges from $22.50 to $24.50 per hour.
