Behavior Technician (Part-Time)
About The Position
We’re seeking compassionate, reliable individuals to provide 1:1 Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy to children ages 1–6 with Autism Spectrum Disorder. As a Behavior Technician, you’ll work directly with children in a clinic-based setting, helping them build critical life skills through our unique, play-based ReggioABA™ approach. You’ll be trained and supported by Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs) every step of the way. This is a physically and emotionally active role. You’ll spend much of your day on the floor with children, supporting them as they learn to communicate, potty train, and manage big emotions. At times, children may engage in behaviors such as screaming, biting, or hitting—you’ll be trained to respond calmly and professionally. Reliability is key: families depend on consistent, committed staff to help their children grow. Attendance and punctuality are essential from your very first day of paid training through your work in the clinic. Clinic Locations - Missouri Ballwin | St. Peters | Florissant | Mehlville | Wright City Please note that while we have several clinics, hiring needs vary by location. Positions are offered based on current site availability, clinical skill-set matching, and where we believe you will be most successful. We are an equal opportunity employer dedicated to building a diverse team that reflects the wonderful communities we serve. Schedule Part-time | Monday–Friday | 10:00 AM – 2:00 PM This shift is a vital part of our daily 'relay,' providing the coverage our therapists need for their lunch breaks while ensuring the children’s care never skips a beat. Because the team and the kids depend on this specific window, we are unable to adjust the days or times for this role.
