Registered Behavior Technician (RBT)
About the role
If you want work that challenges you, changes lives, and builds a real career, this is it. Alpaca Health is a multi-state network of independent ABA therapists working in homes, schools, and daycares. We hire certified RBTs and motivated people ready to become one. You’ll work alongside a dedicated BCBA who mentors you from day one, not a manager or corporate supervisor. There are two ways to join: if you’re already an RBT with active certification you can start working and earning right away, with a path toward BCBA if you want it; if you’re not certified yet, we provide a clear path to becoming an RBT, with a BCBA mentor from day one, many practices in our network reimburse RBT training and pay you during hands‑on learning, and we’ll help match you with the right fit and support you as you prepare for and sit for your certification exam.
