Job description

Make a meaningful impact in a child's life every day!

Immediate openings are available to support families in need.

We are seeking kind and enthusiastic individuals who can start right away or within 4 weeks of accepting an offer. If you're ready to make a positive difference, we would love to meet you!

Your application matters to us, and we value your time.

Our hiring process is quick and consideration-filled—we aim to respond within 24 hours of receiving your application. Interviews and offers typically happen swiftly, and you may even receive a job offer on the same day as your interview!

Why Choose Us?

At Action Behavior Centers, we are guided by our core values : learning, caring, fun, team, and excellence. We foster a diverse, inclusive, and collaborative environment where creativity thrives and both personal and professional growth are encouraged.

We believe in the potential of every individual we serve, from helping children achieve life-changing milestones to supporting our team's success. In our one-on-one ABA setting, you will work hands-on with children (18 months to 8 years old) using ethical, evidence-based ABA techniques in a supportive, center-based environment. With top-tier supervision, ongoing training, and a passionate team by your side, your contributions will make a real difference every day!

Your Role as a Behavior Therapist

  • Implement one-on-one ABA therapy by following treatment plans and program descriptions, collecting data, writing insurance notes, and applying feedback from supervision during observation sessions.
  • Support the development of children in early childhood (ages 18 months to 8 years old) through engaging and enjoyable therapeutic activities.
  • Collaborate with a team to enhance treatment, safety, and a fun work environment throughout the center.
  • Engage with children through play, movement, and imitation, which may include activities like dancing, singing, reading, or playing with toys.
  • Communicate effectively and positively with stakeholders (e.g., peers, families, supervisors) to coordinate activities, celebrate successes, and express personal needs.

Requirements for the Role

  • Physically able to engage with children in a fast-paced environment, which includes lifting up to 30 lbs, bending, squatting, and moving quickly to maintain safety and engagement.
  • Maintain a therapeutic environment by ensuring play areas are tidy, organized, and conducive to a stimulating and positive experience.
  • Multitask effectively, balancing various tasks, decisions, or conversations while prioritizing safety for everyone involved.
  • Work cohesively with team members across centers and regions, which may involve travel to nearby locations.
  • Must have reliable transportation and a valid driver's license.
  • Must be at least 18 years old and possess a high school diploma or GED equivalent.
  • Complete the RBT certification process within 20 days of employment, which includes a 40-hour training curriculum, hands-on competency assessment, registering for an exam, and passing the board's exam.

    The ABC Advantage

  • Guaranteed full-time hours even if patients cancel.
  • Promotions and raises every 6 months with transparent feedback and goal-setting.
  • Yearly tenure bonuses for eligible Behavior Technicians and RBTs.
  • Small caseloads for BCBAs to ensure focused, individualized care.
  • Fully paid training for the Registered Behavior Technician certification process.
  • No-cost supervision—no pay deductions for supervision hours.
  • No contractual obligations—continue because you love it!
  • Generous benefits, including :
  • 10 holidays, 10 paid time off days, and 2 flex days.

  • Health benefits covered at 90%.
  • Free lunch every Friday.
  • Complimentary subscription to DoorDash DashPass and Calm apps.
  • Student loan repayment contributions.
  • Annual celebrations, Teammate Appreciation Week, and team events.
  • Pay varies based on experience and education :

  • Associates / High School : $15.00 - $22.50
  • Bachelors : $15.00 - $24.00
  • Masters : $16.00 - $26.00
  • Entry-level candidates will earn their first raise upon certification as RBT, typically within 21 days.

    Experience in these fields is a plus!

  • Childcare (nanny, babysitter, preschool teacher, tutor, etc.)
  • Mental health professionals and advocates (QMHP, behavioral health technicians)
  • Camp counselors, volunteers, or Sunday school teachers
  • Degrees in teaching, special education, sociology, psychology, or related fields
  • Experience as paraprofessionals, direct support, or life skills assistants
  • Passion for working with children with Autism Spectrum Disorder
  • Willingness to join a caring, team-oriented culture
  • Learn why others have chosen to grow with us on Glassdoor & LinkedIn.

    We are a responsive employer and will be in touch with you within 24 hours of applying!

    Please refrain from contacting centers directly about your application status as they are busy serving clients and families!
