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 and people motivated to become certified. RBTs work alongside a dedicated Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) who provides mentorship and ongoing support. The role involves working one-on-one with children with autism in their homes, classrooms, and communities. RBTs follow individualized plans created by their BCBA, implement behavior strategies, collect data, and build consistent relationships that support children’s growth. Schedules may involve mornings, afternoons, and evenings to meet client needs. Positions may be full-time or part-time. For applicants who are not yet certified, Alpaca Health offers a path toward RBT certification, support preparing for and taking the certification exam, and—depending on the practice—training reimbursement and paid hands-on learning. Career growth support includes a path toward BCBA certification.
