About The Position
Action Behavior Centers is hiring a caring, entry-level Direct Support Professional to help children with autism build communication, social, and independent skills. The role involves working one-on-one with children ages 18 months to 8 years using play-based ABA therapy. No prior experience is necessary; paid training is provided, and the company fully covers Registered Behavior Technician (RBT) certification.

This is a full-time position with guaranteed hours and a Monday–Friday schedule, 8 a.m.–5 p.m. Optional Saturday work may be available based on patient needs.

A first raise follows RBT certification, with additional raises every six months tied to clear growth goals.
