Full Job Description

Are you passionate about making a positive impact on the lives of others and seeking a fulfilling career path? At Behavioral Perspective (BPI), we offer an exciting opportunity to become a Behavior Technician, providing essential therapy services to children, teens, and young adults with Autism.

We are looking for candidates to add to our already amazing team who can work during clinic operating hours of 8:00 AM - 6:00 PM, open availability preferred. Start and end times may vary based on location and client schedules.

**What does a Behavior Technician do?**

Registered Behavior Technicians (RBTs) are certified paraprofessionals in Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) who work directly with clients diagnosed with Autism, providing individualized, one-on-one therapy sessions. In this role, you will collaborate closely with experienced managers and Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs) to support our clients in achieving their goals in a variety of locations, including BPI clinics, client homes, schools, and community settings.

**How will you contribute?**

As a Behavior Technician, your primary focus will be working directly with clients on a 1:1 basis. Your work will empower clients to develop self-advocacy skills, acquire crucial life skills, and enhance their ability to communicate effectively. This role goes beyond typical childcare; you will be instrumental in helping clients learn socially significant behaviors, manage challenging behaviors, and improve their social interactions.

We are seeking dedicated individuals who are committed to serving as positive role models and advocates for our clients. While some days may be more challenging than others, you will consistently witness the meaningful impact of your efforts on the lives of those you support.

**What qualifications are we looking for?**

We welcome Behavior Technician applicants with all levels of experience. Comprehensive training is provided for those new to the field, and we offer opportunities for experienced technicians to advance their careers.

**Required**

High school diploma or equivalent
Reliable transportation
Consistent and reliable attendance
Clear criminal background check, sex offender registry check, and abuse and neglect registry check
Clear MVR background check (as required by position)

**Preferred**

Experience working in ABA or related fields

**Required Physical Requirements**

This position is physically demanding and requires working in environments that require physical agility and strength. Qualified candidates must be able to perform their duties with or without reasonable accommodation, including but not limited to the following:

Bending, kneeling, squatting, and crouching
Sitting, walking, and running (must be able to move quickly from a seated to standing position)
Lifting up to 50 lbs. and may occasionally be required to lift or assist in the physical movement of clients
Hand-eye coordination, manual dexterity
Ability to see, hear, and speak
Ability to respond safely to physical aggression and ensure safety of oneself and the client
Ability to learn, demonstrate, and explain physical skills of moderate complexity
Ability to assist clients with hygiene and bathroom needs (such as toileting and diapers) for all genders
Ability to work in a variety of locations, including BPI clinics, client homes, schools, and community settings

**What does BPI offer you?**

Competitive hourly rates based on your experience.
Regular pay increases tied to professional milestones, such as obtaining your Registered Behavior Technician (RBT) certification or completing your education.
Clear career growth pathways through our tiered BT program and opportunities for internal advancement across departments.
The chance to collaborate with experienced therapists to expand your skills and knowledge.
A professional development allowance to support your ongoing learning and career growth.
Comprehensive health, dental, and vision benefits for full-time employees (30+ hours per week).
Generous paid time off, including eleven paid holidays, PTO accrual, and a flexible attendance policy. You'll also receive pay even if a client session is canceled.
Access to an employee assistance program, employee discounts, staff recognition programs, and rewards for employment milestones.
Additional benefits such as a 401K plan, parental leave options, disability coverage, and life insurance.

If you are looking for a meaningful career where you can truly make a difference, we encourage you to apply and join the Behavioral Perspective team!
