Full Job Description

Join a Top Workplace in Specialized Therapy

Enhance your clinical career with AB Spectrum, a team proudly named a Top Workplace by the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. We earned this recognition, which is based entirely on employee feedback, because we foster a culture where people feel valued, supported, and inspired to grow.

AB Spectrum provides specialized Reggio ABA™ (Applied Behavior Analysis) therapy for young children (ages 1-6). Our foundation is ABA, an evidence-based therapy focused on developing communication, social, and adaptive living skills.

Our Model: Our centers utilize a unique Therapy Through Play model. We embrace the principles of Reggio Emilia by devising a Natural Environment Teaching (NET), child-led learning environment to deliver individualized, high-quality early intervention services in settings that replicate a natural preschool.
Our Team: Join our collaborative team of BCBAs, RBTs, SLPs, and Administration. You'll benefit from cross-disciplinary collaboration and unique special visits, including music facilitators, pet interactions, and other partnerships.

Role Overview & Core Details

We are seeking adaptable, high-energy individuals to provide 1:1 clinical support during our busy mid-day lunch and transition blocks. This is a fast-paced, technical role focused on maintaining consistency across multiple student programs; it is not a "buddy," mentor, or talk-therapy position. Working with children ages 1–6, you will rotate between students to implement Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) protocols during critical mealtime and play-based learning periods.

In this role, you function as a clinical implementer who can jump into various cases and follow specific protocols with precision. Under the guidance of a BCBA, you will help different students master functional life skills—ranging from social table manners and self-feeding to potty training and peer interaction. Because you will be supporting multiple children throughout your shift, you must be able to switch gears quickly while maintaining accurate data collection for each individual student.

Success in this coverage role requires a "professional-first" mindset and the ability to remain calm during high-energy transitions. You will be the steady, clinical presence a child needs when they struggle with mealtime routines or sensory challenges, which includes following specific behavioral plans for screaming, hitting, or biting. We are looking for candidates who are exceptionally reliable, detail-oriented, and committed to meeting measurable goals through consistent, scientific practice.

Clinic Locations - Missouri

Ballwin | St. Peters | Florissant | Mehlville | Wright City

Please note that while we have several clinics, hiring needs vary by location. Positions are offered based on current site availability, clinical skill-set matching, and where we believe you will be most successful. We are an equal opportunity employer dedicated to building a diverse team that reflects the wonderful communities we serve.

Schedule

Part-time | Monday–Friday | 10:00 AM – 2:00 PM
This shift is a vital part of our daily 'relay,' providing the coverage our therapists need for their lunch breaks while ensuring the children’s care never skips a beat. Because the team and the kids depend on this specific window, we are unable to adjust the days or times for this role.

Compensation
Starting Pay: $18.00/hour.

RBT Certified Pay: $20.00/hour.

- Upon successfully obtaining your RBT certification, your rate increases to $20.00/hour starting the following full pay period.

Key Responsibilities

Provide 1:1 ABA therapy to children ages 1–6 in a clinic-based setting
Implement individualized behavior intervention plans written by a BCBA
Collect and track accurate data on each child’s progress
Support daily care tasks (feeding, diapering, dressing, grooming) as needed
Maintain a clean, organized, and safe environment for children and staff
Collaborate with teammates and communicate professionally and respectfully with families
Encourage play, social engagement, and positive behavior through our Reggio ABA™ approach
Participate in regular training, supervision, and feedback sessions to build your skills

Essential Qualifications

The successful candidate must meet the following minimum qualifications and be able to maintain these standards throughout their employment:

Work Authorization: Must be legally authorized to work in the United States without the need for employer sponsorship, now or in the future.
Conflict of Interest: Must not have immediate family members currently receiving therapy or services at our clinics to prevent potential conflicts of interest.

Physical & Safety Capability

Physical Demands: Must be physically willing and able to perform the duties of the role, including the ability to safely lift and/or move children up to 45 pounds.
Challenging Behaviors: Must be physically and emotionally able to support children with challenging behaviors, which may occasionally include aggression such as hitting or biting.

Professional Reliability & Commitment

Attendance & Punctuality: Must demonstrate professional reliability, meaning consistent attendance and punctuality are essential for both initial training and all scheduled shifts.
Transportation: Must have reliable transportation to ensure consistent attendance at the assigned clinic location for all scheduled shifts.

Mindset & Interpersonal Skills

Communication & Teamwork: Must possess strong communication and teamwork skills to effectively collaborate with supervisors, peers, and client families.
Flexibility: Must be flexible and collaborative, capable of adapting to schedule changes and shifting client needs.
Growth Mindset: Must demonstrate a willingness to learn, apply feedback, and grow within the role, guided by a mission-driven mindset.

The RBT Path

Proactive Certification: Must be willing to complete the 40-hour RBT training and pass the BACB exam within your first 90 days.
Company-Backed Support: While training is self-paced, we provide the required 40-hour video series, financial coverage for exam fees, and the necessary competency assessments/supervision to get you certified.
Ethical Foundation: Must be prepared to learn and adhere to the RBT Ethics Code immediately upon hire.
