Clinic-Based Aba Therapist - Paid Training

Starting at $19 / hour ($22.50 once RBT certified) | Paid Training & Certification | Daytime shifts (starting at 8am, 9am, 1pm, or 4pm) & Saturday availability needed

At North Shore Pediatric Therapy (NSPT), we do more than provide therapywe create spaces where autistic children are respected, supported, and empowered. We don't believe in one-size-fits-all care or outdated models. Our approach is assent-based, neuroaffirming, and team-driven, with deep respect for each child's individuality, autonomy, and potential.

As a Behavior Technician, you'll be part of that mission. You'll help kids build communication, independence, and confidenceand you'll be supported every step of the way by a team that values your growth just as much as theirs.

What a Day Looks Like :

Being a Behavior Technician is active, hands-on, and deeply meaningful. You'll spend most of your day working 1 : 1 with kids (ages 212), helping them build skills that support their growth at home, school, and in everyday life.

Here's what that actually looks like :

  • Playing games on the floor to work on language or social skills
  • Helping a child learn how to ask for help, tie their shoes, or transition between tasks
  • Managing tough moments like meltdowns or elopement with patience and a calm presence
  • Tracking progress and taking session notes so your BCBA can update therapy plans
  • Communicating with your team throughout the day to problem-solve, celebrate wins, and adjust support as needed
  • Staying flexibleevery child is different, and every day brings something new

It's not a desk jobit's a roll-up-your-sleeves, be-there-in-the-moment kind of role. But if you love working with kids, it's one of the most rewarding ways to spend your day.

Why North Shore Pediatric Therapy :

We're not your typical ABA clinicand we're proud of that. At NSPT, we don't force compliance or chase cookie-cutter milestones. Instead, we prioritize :

  • Assent-based care that honors boundaries and centers the child's voice.
  • Collaborative, interdisciplinary teamworkyou'll work alongside OTs, SLPs, and mental health professionals.
  • Supportive leadership and mentorship, with real-time coaching and thoughtful feedback.
  • A people-first culture where growth is structured, wins are celebrated, and you're never alone.
  • How You'll Grow With Us :

    Whether you're here to learn or build a full career, we make sure your development is intentional and supported. You'll start with paid RBT training and certification in your first month (plus a raise once you pass) and receive performance reviews and raises every 6 months. From there, your path can look like :

  • Behavior Therapist (BT) ? Registered Behavior Technician (RBT) Certified with hands-on experience and real mentorship
  • RBT ? Clinical Fellowship Student (ACC) ? Lead ACC ? Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) For BCBA students, we help with restricted and unrestricted hours, test prep, and becoming a strong, compassionate clinician.
  • RBT ? Lead RBT For those who want to grow as leaders without pursuing credentialing as a BCBA, SLP, or OT.
  • No matter where you're headed, we'll help you get there.

    Perks & Benefits :

  • Real-time support and mentorship from experienced clinicians
  • Flexible schedules (start times at 8am, 9am, 1pm, or 3pm) that fit your life
  • Free Calm app + Teladoc access for you and 5 loved ones
  • Monthly team events, shoutouts, and a clinic culture that genuinely cares

  • Are calm, flexible, and eager to learneven in tough moments.
  • Believe in supporting kids through respect and empathy, not compliance.
  • Want to work somewhere that feels good and does good.
  • Are curious about long-term careers in ABA, education, child psychology, OT, SLP, or mental health.
  • Requirements :

  • Starting at $19 / billable hour, with increases for experience, education, and certification. You'll increase to $22.50 once you receive your RBT certification.
  • Must be able to lift 45 lbs and engage in physical play and activity
  • High school diploma or GED required
  • Afternoon / evening (starting at 3pm) and Saturday availability required
