Be Part of a Mission: Our assent-based care approach focuses on respecting boundaries, building trust, and teaching in ways that align with each child's strengths and preferences. Embrace the Messiness: Be prepared for the realities of life with children-changing diapers, handling meltdowns, navigating behaviors like elopement-all while maintaining compassion and care. It's not always neat, but it's always meaningful. Career Growth Opportunities: Many of our Behavior Therapists have gone on to become BCBAs, OTs, SLPs, and leaders in therapy and support roles. Let this be the first step in your career in pediatric therapy. Earn While You Learn: Within your first 60 days, we'll help you become a certified RBT (Registered Behavior Technician) at no cost to you. Certification comes with hands-on training and a pay increase. Flexible Scheduling: We know life outside of work matters.

Celebrate Successes: Whether it's a first word, a smile, or a small step forward, you'll see the lasting impact of your work. What Makes You a Great Fit? We're looking for passionate individuals who: Have experience working with children-especially those with developmental disabilities or special needs. Are comfortable with the messier side of life, including changing diapers and navigating intense emotions. Believe in honoring each child's individuality and using neuroaffirming approaches to care. Thrive in active, hands-on environments and can stay calm under pressure. Are empathetic, patient, and excited to make learning fun. Are considering careers in ABA therapy, child psychology, education, occupational therapy, speech therapy, or related fields. See this as more than just a job-it's a stepping stone to their future. Physical Demands: This role requires regular sitting, standing, bending, walking, and lifting up to 45 lbs. Visual and auditory abilities are necessary for effective communication. The work environment noise level is typically moderate. Reasonable accommodations will be provided for individuals with disabilities. If you've worked as a teacher's aide, camp counselor, caregiver, or in any role supporting kids, you already have a great foundation. And if you're just inspired by our mission, we want to hear from you too. What We Offer: Competitive Pay: Starting at $19/hour, with increases for experience, education, and certification. Wellness Benefits: Free Calm app and Teladoc subscriptions for you and five friends or family members.
