Behavior Technician with Paid RBT Certification

Autism & Behavioral Spectrum•Ballwin, MO

2d•Onsite

About The Position

We are seeking resilient, high-energy individuals to deliver 1:1 Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy to children ages 1–6. This is a clinical, data-driven role focused on teaching fundamental life skills—not a traditional mentoring or talk-therapy position. Using our ReggioABA™ approach, you will transform play-based interactions into structured, scientific learning opportunities designed to help students reach critical developmental milestones. In this role, you function as a clinical teacher, not just a caregiver. Working under the direct supervision of a BCBA, you will implement specific protocols to help children master everything from verbal communication to potty training. Because we focus on functional skill acquisition, your day will be physically active and highly structured, requiring constant engagement and precise data collection. Success in this position requires a "professional-first" mindset. You will be the steady presence a child needs during challenging moments, which includes following a clinical plan to manage behaviors such as screaming, hitting, or biting. We are looking for candidates who value consistent, daily practice and are committed to meeting measurable goals through a scientific framework.

Must not have immediate family members currently receiving therapy or services at our clinics to prevent potential conflicts of interest.
Ability to safely lift/move children up to 45 lbs and engage in active, floor-based play.
Must be able to support children through challenging behaviors using the positive, non-restraint reinforcement strategies taught during your initial training.
Must demonstrate professional reliability, meaning consistent attendance and punctuality are essential for both initial training and all scheduled shifts.
Must have reliable transportation to ensure consistent attendance at the assigned clinic location for all scheduled shifts.
Must possess strong communication and teamwork skills to effectively collaborate with supervisors, peers, and client families.
Must be flexible and collaborative, capable of adapting to schedule changes and shifting client needs.
Must demonstrate a willingness to learn, apply feedback, and grow within the role, guided by a mission-driven mindset.
