About the Role

Whether you’ve worked as a nanny, tutor, or camp counselor, or are studying psychology, education, biology, or human services, this position offers a valuable opportunity to explore or start a career in Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA). You’ll support children in developing communication, problem-solving, and social skills. We’re hiring entry-level candidates as well as certified Registered Behavior Technicians (RBTs) who are ready to grow their careers.

As an RBT at BTS, you’ll work 1:1 with children with autism or developmental delays to build communication, social, play, and daily living skills through structured, play-based activities. Sessions take place in the child’s home, clinic, or school, lasting 2–3 hours. We tailor your caseload to fit your availability and match you with age groups you’re comfortable with, from toddlers to teens.
