Entry Level Behavior Technician

ACES • El Paso, TX

30d • $18 - $24

About The Position

ACES is seeking a Behavior Technician to help children with autism build communication, social, and problem-solving skills through evidence-based Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) techniques. 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 highlights its evidence-based treatment, technology, and clinical support, as well as opportunities for employee wellness, work/life balance, mentorship, and career growth.

This is a part-time position starting at approximately 15 hours per week, with the possibility of additional hours depending on availability and business needs.

Both programs are held Monday through Friday, 11:00 AM–7:30 PM.

The stated clinical-work pay range is $18.00–$24.00 per hour. Non-clinical work, including training, travel time, and meetings, is paid at $12.00 per hour. The position also offers an hourly pay increase after the first year for employees in good standing.
