Registered Behavior Technician (RBT)
About The Position
Alpaca Health is a multi-state network of independent ABA therapists working in homes, schools, and daycares. The organization hires certified Registered Behavior Technicians (RBTs) as well as people who are motivated to earn certification. RBTs work one-on-one with children with autism in their homes, classrooms, and communities, implementing a personalized plan developed by a BCBA, applying behavior strategies, collecting data, and building consistent relationships that support children’s growth. Each RBT works with a dedicated BCBA who provides close mentorship and is reachable for guidance. For candidates who are not yet certified, Alpaca Health describes a path to RBT certification, including support preparing for and taking the certification exam. Depending on the independent practice, training may be reimbursed and hands-on learning may be paid. The role offers career-growth support, including a potential path toward BCBA certification.
