Job Overview

We are looking for enthusiastic individuals to join our team as Behavior Technicians. As a Behavior Technician, you will have the opportunity to make a real difference in the lives of children with autism.

The job is physically demanding: you need to be comfortable standing, walking, sitting, grasping, reaching, bending, kneeling, crouching, squatting, lifting, and at times carrying children or objects that weigh up to 50 pounds.

At the end of each day, you will know that you have made a meaningful impact on the life of a child and their family.

Requirements

• Passionate about helping children with autism.
• Patient, compassionate, and able to work well in a team.

• Ability to pass a pre-employment background check.

• Ability to lift and carry up to 50 pounds.
• Will obtain a Registered Behavior Technician certification after completing onboarding.
