About The Position

Behavioral Innovations is hiring entry-level Behavioral Technicians and experienced Registered Behavior Technicians (RBTs) to provide clinic-based ABA therapy to children with autism, ages 18 months to 10 years, at its Fairfield Treatment Center. New hires receive paid training, BCBA supervision, and support toward RBT certification, with a stated career path that can lead to BCBA and clinical leadership roles. The schedule is based on center operating hours of 8 a.m. to 6 p.m., Monday through Friday, with occasional half-day Saturdays. Full-time work is preferred. Part-time employees must have open availability during those hours and work at least 25 hours per week; this may vary by center.

Hourly pay ranges from $15 during entry-level training to $20 for RBT V, with a Senior RBT rate of $21 per hour subject to at least 12 months at Behavioral Innovations and client-count requirements.

Applicants who are not already certified must be willing to obtain RBT certification within 60 days. CPR/First Aid certification is required, or must be obtained with support from Behavioral Innovations.
