Behavior Technician | Mentorship + Accelerated Growth
for each section heading.
We need to use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use
for prose.
We must preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. Remove boilerplate, duplicated lines, application instructions.
We need to include sections only when posting has real specific content.
Let's extract content:
About the role / overview: The mission statement of FirstSteps could be considered "About the role"? Actually "About FirstSteps" is about organization. Could be placed under "About the role" or maybe we can have "About the role" describing what the role entails. The posting includes a paragraph about the role: "There Is Nothing More Rewarding Than Knowing You Are Making a Difference In The Life Of a Child. As a FirstSteps Behavior Technician You will have the great privilege of teaching our little ones diagnosed with autism meaningful skills including communication, socialization, self-care, and school readiness Experience first-hand a child’s first words, first friend, first shoe tie, and much moreYou will work closely with and learn from teachers, parents, FirstSteps BCBAs, and behavioral health/ mental health specialists You will become a Registered Behavior Technician (RBT) with all initial credentialing fees paid by FirstSteps in conjunction with our paid training programWant to hear straight from our RBTs about the job and their experiences? Check out our reel series ChatRBT and Day in the Life on IG @firststepsforkids"
We can treat that as "About the role" prose.
Responsibilities: Could list duties: teaching meaningful skills (communication, socialization, self-care, school readiness), working closely with teachers, parents, BCBAs, specialists, becoming RBT, etc. Might be similar to above. But we need to avoid duplication. Perhaps we split: About the role = overview/mission; Responsibilities = bullet list of duties.
Requirements: Could include health & safety requirements: childhood vaccinations, non-reactive TB test, reliable transportation, ability to lift 50 lbs, sit on floors and/or child-sized furniture, quickly move from seated to running stance. Also maybe "Have some 'Kid' Experience: We look for 'kid people' and related work, study, or volunteer experience demonstrating an interest in child development and commitment to the care and well-being of all children". Also "Completed Education College enrollment or degree preferred We will consider your application with proof of high school graduation and an interest in psychology / behavioral health / child development / mental health Graduate students in ABA may apply as Behavior Technicians and be eligible to receive clinical training and supervision hours toward BACB requirements, based on performance, role alignment, availability, and program needs."
Qualifications: Could be similar to requirements; but we need to decide distinct sections. Usually Requirements = mandatory; Qualifications = preferred. But we can combine if content overlaps. However we must not create thin sections; prefer few substantive sections. Could combine Requirements and Qualifications into one section? But headings are prescribed; we can include both if they have distinct content. Let's see.
We have:
- Mandatory: Health & Safety Requirements (vaccinations, TB test, transportation, lift 50 lbs, etc.)
- Preferred: College enrollment or degree preferred; high school graduation proof; interest in psychology/behavioral health/child development/mental health; graduate students in ABA may apply.
- Also "Have some 'Kid' Experience: We look for 'kid people' and related work, study, or volunteer experience demonstrating an interest in child development and commitment to the care and well-being of all children". This could be a requirement/qualification.
Thus we could have Requirements section covering health & safety, kid experience, education basics. Qualifications could cover preferred college enrollment, interest in fields, graduate ABA students.
Skills: Could be skills like communication, socialization, self-care, school readiness teaching; ability to work with teachers, parents, BCBAs; ability to become RBT; maybe interpersonal skills. But we might not have explicit skills list. Could derive from responsibilities.
Benefits: list: Exceptional training, on-going support, & career development opportunities; Health Insurance with generous employer contribution; Access to discounted dental and vision insurance; 401(k) Retirement Plan with generous company match; Paid time-off (PTO) & anniversary PTO awards; Compensation for drive time, mileage, and data usage; Tuition discounts with partner universities offering Bachelor's, Master's, and doctorate degree programs; Employment Assistance Program; Employee referral bonus program; Ongoing team building and community events during and outside of work hours; Fun, team approach and work atmosphere.
Pay: Starting clinical wage $23+ per hour depending on experience; eligible for multiple wage increases throughout the year.
Schedule: none.
We must not include boilerplate like diversity & equity, EEO, application instructions.
We must not include duplicated lines.
Now produce HTML.
We need to ensure we don't include any markdown fences. Just raw HTML.
We'll produce sections in order: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay.
Check each for content.
About the role: Use the paragraph describing role and mission. Could combine mission statement and role description. Let's craft a concise but preserve all substantive info. Must not summarize away detail; we need to preserve all substantive information. That means we cannot omit details like "teaching our little ones diagnosed with autism meaningful skills including communication, socialization, self-care, and school readiness", "Experience first-hand a child’s first words, first friend, first shoe tie, and much more", "work closely with and learn from teachers, parents, FirstSteps BCBAs, and behavioral health/ mental health specialists", "become a Registered Behavior Technician (RBT) with all initial credentialing fees paid by FirstSteps in conjunction with our paid training program", "Check out our reel series ChatRBT and Day in the Life on IG @firststepsforkids". That's a lot. We need to keep all that. So we can put that as a
with all those sentences.
Responsibilities: Could be bullet list of duties: teaching meaningful skills (communication, socialization, self-care, school readiness); working closely with teachers, parents, BCBAs, specialists; becoming RBT; maybe also "participate in paid training program". But that overlaps with About the role. To avoid duplication, we could treat About the role as overview/narrative, Responsibilities as bullet list of specific duties. However we must preserve all substantive info; if we split, we need to ensure we don't lose any info. Let's see if we can assign each piece to either About the role or Responsibilities without losing.
Better approach: Use About the role for the mission/organization description (FirstSteps mission). Then Responsibilities for the duties list. Then Requirements/Qualifications/Skills/Benefits/Pay.
But the mission description is about FirstSteps, not necessarily about the role. However the instruction says use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can use About the role to describe the role/responsibilities. It's okay.
Thus we can put the entire narrative about the role in About the role
. Then Responsibilities could be a
of specific duties extracted from that narrative. But that would duplicate content. The instruction says preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. Duplication is not prohibited explicitly, but we should avoid duplication? It says "Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions." So we should remove duplicated lines. If we duplicate content, that might be considered duplicated lines. So better not to duplicate.
Thus we need to decide which sections to include such that we cover all info without duplication.
We could have:
- About the role: description of FirstSteps mission and the role's purpose (maybe the first paragraph about mission and reward). That's unique.
- Responsibilities: bullet list of duties (teaching skills, working with team, becoming RBT, etc.)
- Requirements: health & safety, kid experience, education basics.
- Qualifications: preferred college enrollment, interest in fields, graduate ABA students.
- Skills: maybe list of skills like communication, interpersonal, ability to work with team, etc. But we might not have explicit skills list; we could derive from responsibilities but that would duplicate. Perhaps we can omit Skills section if no explicit skills beyond those already covered. The instruction says prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So we could omit Skills if not distinct.
- Benefits: list as .
- Pay: with wage info.
- Schedule: omit.
Thus we need to ensure we cover all substantive info: mission, role narrative, duties, requirements, qualifications, benefits, pay.
Let's extract each piece.
First, mission/organization description: "About FirstSteps The FirstSteps Team is inspired by the belief that every child deserves the opportunity to achieve their fullest potential. To that end, our mission is twofold: to provide the best evidence-based, behavior analytic treatment to our children diagnosed with autism and related learning differences, and to offer a positive, collaborative, and dynamic work experience for our team. We are steadfastly committed to ongoing training and mentorship of our employees, always motivated to support the next generation of clinical leaders in our field and at FirstSteps. Our greatest reward is witnessing the rapid and joyful learning of our little ones and knowing that together, we are creating more happy days for the kids and families we serve."
That's about FirstSteps. Could be placed under About the role.
Then role-specific narrative: "The Behavior Technician Position (referred to as 'Instructors' at FirstSteps) There Is Nothing More Rewarding Than Knowing You Are Making a Difference In The Life Of a Child. As a FirstSteps Behavior Technician You
