2d•$45,000 - $58,000•Onsite

About The Position

We are seeking a compassionate, energetic, and dedicated Registered Behavior Technician (RBT) to join our collaborative pediatric therapy team. This position offers the opportunity to provide individualized ABA services in a fun, engaging sensory gym and private practice environment serving children, adolescents, and young adults from birth through age 21. Our practice takes a collaborative, whole-child approach to care. RBTs work alongside a multidisciplinary team of Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs), Occupational Therapists (OTs/COTAs), Speech-Language Pathologists (SLPs), and other pediatric therapy professionals to support each client's functional development, independence, communication, regulation, and participation. Our RBTs are part of a true interdisciplinary pediatric team rather than working in isolation. Our sensory gym environment provides opportunities for movement, play, social interaction, and functional skill development while allowing clinicians from different disciplines to communicate and collaborate on shared client goals. You will have the opportunity to work alongside professionals in ABA, Occupational Therapy, and Speech Therapy, creating an environment where clinicians can learn from one another while providing individualized, family-centered care. We are looking for someone who is enthusiastic about pediatric care, enjoys being active and creative, values collaboration, and understands that meaningful progress often happens through connection, play, consistency, and teamwork. If you are an RBT looking for a supportive private-practice environment where you can grow professionally while making a meaningful difference in the lives of children and families, we would love to hear from you.
