Job description

At North Shore Pediatric Therapy in Vernon Hills, 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 known for having patience and compassion. Autism affects each person differently, and providing consistent, calm care is essential.
• 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 adapt quickly to new technology. We will train you on our electronic medical system for notes, assessments, and treatment summaries.
• If you do not meet all the above but are inspired by our mission and the impact we have, we encourage you to apply.

What does a Registered Behavior Therapist do?

You will provide 1:1 care to children, following a therapy plan designed by a BCBA supervisor. ABA therapy uses reinforcement to teach independence, social skills, and replace behaviors that hinder learning. Your role involves making learning engaging while accommodating sensory needs.

Many children with ASD experience emotional overload, leading to intense responses. Patience and compassion are vital, and we will teach you how to manage these behaviors effectively.

Whether you're seeking your purpose or exploring a new career path, we will equip you with skills to make a difference now and grow professionally over 1, 3, 5 years, and beyond.

Our two-step interview process ensures alignment with our culture and mission:

• 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 the team, and observe a session.

Compensation ranges from $22.50 to $24.50 per hour.
