Behavior Technician with Paid RBT Certification

Role Overview & Core Details

We are seeking resilient, high-energy individuals to deliver 1:1 Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy to children ages 1–6. This is a clinical, data-driven role focused on teaching fundamental life skills—not a traditional mentoring or talk-therapy position. Using our Reggio ABA™ approach, you will transform play-based interactions into structured, scientific learning opportunities designed to help students reach critical developmental milestones.

In this role, you function as a clinical teacher
, not just a caregiver. Working under the direct supervision of a BCBA, you will implement specific protocols to help children master everything from verbal communication to potty training. Because we focus on functional skill acquisition
, your day will be physically active and highly structured, requiring constant engagement and precise data collection.

Success in this position requires a “professional-first” mindset. You will be the steady presence a child needs during challenging moments, which includes following a clinical plan to manage behaviors such as screaming, hitting, or biting. We are looking for candidates who value consistent, daily practice and are committed to meeting measurable goals through a scientific framework.
