Entry Level Behavior Technician

ACES • La Mirada, CA

30d • $22 - $28

About The Position

ACES is hiring a part-time Behavior Technician to provide one-on-one ABA therapy to children with autism in center-based or home-based settings. The role supports children in developing communication, social, and problem-solving skills using evidence-based ABA techniques and methods taught through ACES’s training program. Behavior Technicians reinforce positive behaviors, track client progress using a company-issued iPad and data systems, and collaborate with families and supervisors to support each child’s growth.

The role starts at approximately 15 hours per week, with opportunities to build additional hours based on availability and business needs. Clinical treatment work pays $22–$28 per hour; non-clinical work such as training, travel time, and meetings is paid at $16.90 per hour. ACES offers paid training, mentorship and career advancement opportunities, and a $1-per-hour increase after the first year for employees in good standing. Eligible candidates may qualify for a sign-on bonus: $1,000 for candidates with active or inactive RBT certification who attend the two-week training program, or $500 for those new to the field who commit to the four-week program. Both programs run Monday through Friday, 9:00 a.m.–5:30 p.m.

The work may involve sitting, kneeling, squatting, running, twisting and turning, reaching above the shoulders, and frequent physical transitions. Responsibilities are illustrative and may change at ACES’ discretion.
