RBT in Community Setting

About the role

Supporting Autism is actively seeking two caring and energetic individuals in the Linville, NC area for Registered Behavior Technician roles in a preschool-classroom setting. These individuals will support two learners in the same facility, supporting the children through their daily routines and swapping placements midday. This is an active and hands-on role which blends traditional ABA interventions with natural environment teaching opportunities. The "right" candidates will enjoy working 1:1 with young learners, have patience to support skill building and socialization, be energetic, and model language for a learner still growing their own functional communication skills. Staff must be able to keep up with young learners, actively engage with children on their level (including rising up and down from floor level, when relevant), react quickly and proactively while remaining within an arm's reach of their learners to keep them safe at all times.

We are committed to our company's mission statement "Helping each individual reach their fullest potential" and are proud of our excellent reputation of providing highly individualized services and neurodivergent-affirming practices since 2013. RBT's play a critical role in the lives of the children we serve! At Supporting Autism, we take a whole-child approach to learning and skill-building. We utilize positive reinforcement techniques while incorporating a blend of natural environment teaching practices with more traditional discrete trial instruction methods. Additionally, RBT's play an important role in collecting data based on their time with the children.
