About The Position

ACES is hiring a Behavior Technician to help children with autism build communication, social, and problem-solving skills through evidence-based applied behavior analysis (ABA). The role involves working one-on-one with children in ACES centers or home-based settings, reinforcing positive behaviors, tracking progress, and collaborating with families and supervisors. ACES describes its approach as data-driven and supported by clinical resources, technology, and training.

This is a part-time position starting at approximately 15 hours per week, with opportunities to work additional hours depending on availability and business needs. The hourly rate for clinical work is $21.00–$27.00. Non-clinical work, such as training, travel time, and meetings, is paid at $16.90 per hour. A $1,000 sign-on bonus may be available to qualifying applicants who hold an active or inactive RBT certification and attend the two-week training program; a $500 sign-on bonus may be available to new applicants who commit to the four-week program. Both programs run Monday through Friday, 9:00 a.m.–5:30 p.m.

ACES offers paid RBT certification and training, mentorship and career advancement opportunities, and a company-issued iPad. The position requires a high school diploma or GED, reliable transportation, and availability during times most needed by families.

Listed responsibilities may change at ACES’ discretion.
