Autism Behavior Technician

Caravel Autism Health • Ankeny, IA

5d • Onsite

About The Position

We’re looking for a certain kind of person. They kneel down to a child's eye level. They patiently bring the same positivity to the tenth try as the first. They celebrate a kinda tiny win like it's the biggest thing that happened all week…because for that kid, it might be. We call them teammates who change lives. And we don't need you to have experience to be one. We’ll teach you the skills. But if this sounds like it might be a fit, here's what walking through our door looks like. Clinical leadership that's actually there: You're never on an island. You’ll receive strong clinical mentorship, real career pathways into leadership, and colleagues who treat your expertise like it matters. Because it does. Paid training to become a Registered Behavior Technician (RBT), with guidance and support from mentors and peers. A culture that supports you driven by the values of collaboration and shared success, not competition.
