About the role

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. If you want work that challenges you, changes lives, and builds a real career, this is it. Work location: In person.

Responsibilities

• Work one-on-one with kids with autism in their homes, classrooms, and communities.
• Follow a personalized behavior plan from your BCBA.
• Implement behavior strategies and collect data.
• Build consistent relationships that help kids grow.

Qualifications

If you are already an RBT, you can start working and earning right away, work with clients in your region, and have a path toward BCBA if you want it. If you are not yet certified, Alpaca Health provides a clear path to becoming an RBT, with a BCBA mentor from day one, many practices in the network reimburse RBT training and pay you during hands‑on learning, and support as you prepare for and sit for the certification exam.

Benefits

• Direct mentorship from a dedicated BCBA, not managers or a corporate chain of command.
• Career growth support, including a path toward BCBA certification.
• Depending on the practice: training reimbursement and paid hands‑on learning for those earning their certification.

Pay

$20–$27/hour, based on experience and location.
