Behavior Therapist, Pediatric ABA - Clinic-Based
About The Position
At North Shore Pediatric Therapy (NSPT), we do more than provide therapy—we create spaces where autistic children are respected, supported, and empowered. Our approach is assent-based, neuroaffirming, and team-driven, with deep respect for each child’s individuality, autonomy, and potential. As a Behavior Technician, you’ll be part of that mission. You’ll help kids build communication, independence, and confidence—and you’ll be supported every step of the way by a team that values your growth just as much as theirs. Being a Behavior Technician is active, hands-on, and deeply meaningful. You’ll spend most of your day working 1:1 with kids (ages 2–12), helping them build skills that support their growth at home, school, and in everyday life. It’s not a desk job—it’s a roll-up-your-sleeves, be-there-in-the-moment kind of role. But if you love working with kids, it’s one of the most rewarding ways to spend your day.
Requirements
- Starting at $19/billable hour, with increases for experience, education, and certification. You'll increase to $22.50 once you receive your RBT certification.
- Must have the physical stamina and mobility to actively engage with children, including sitting, standing, walking, bending, lifting up to 45 pounds, and effective visual and auditory communication.
- High school diploma or GED required
- Afternoon/evening (starting at 3pm) and Saturday availability required
Nice To Haves
- Experience working with children (babysitting, coaching, camps, classrooms, etc.)
- Calm, flexible, and eager to learn—even in tough moments.
- Believe in supporting kids through respect and empathy, not compliance.
- Want to work somewhere that feels good and does good.
- Curious about long-term careers in ABA, education, child psychology, OT, SLP, or mental health.
Responsibilities
- Playing games on the floor to work on language or social skills
- Helping a child learn how to ask for help, tie their shoes, or transition between tasks
- Managing tough moments like meltdowns or elopement with patience and a calm presence
- Tracking progress and taking session notes so your BCBA can update therapy plans
- Communicating with your team throughout the day to problem-solve, celebrate wins, and adjust support as needed
- Staying flexible—every child is different, and every day brings something new
Benefits
- Paid Training & Certification
- Health, dental, and vision insurance for full-time team members
- Real-time support and mentorship from experienced clinicians
- Flexible schedules (start times at 8am, 9am, 1pm, or 3pm) that fit your life
- Monthly team events, shoutouts, and a clinic culture that genuinely cares
- A career that makes a tangible impact on the lives of kids and families
