Lead Behavior Technician (Early Learners)

About the Role: We are seeking a Lead Behavior Technician to support a group of early learners with autism who are developing foundational skills in attention, communication, and social engagement. This is a hands-on role combining:

• direct therapy with clients
• mentorship and leadership for Behavior Technicians (BTs)

You’ll play a key role in helping both clients and staff grow.

What You’ll Be Doing:

Support learners who may have:

• limited attention span
• minimal social initiation
• communication delays
• difficulty engaging with others
• Help create a structured, engaging learning environment
• Model sessions and strategies for other BTs
• Provide real-time support and guidance to staff during sessions
• Collaborate with BCBAs to ensure consistent implementation of programs
• Help newer staff build confidence and skill in working with early learners

What This Role Is Like: This role is active, fast-paced, and highly interactive. Some sessions may include:

• supporting children who are not yet engaged with tasks or people
• working through moments of frustration or refusal
• using creativity and persistence to build connection and learning

Progress often happens in small but meaningful steps.We provide strong clinical support, but this role requires:

• patience
• flexibility
• comfort with challenges
• ability to stay calm and supportive in difficult moments

What We’re Looking For:

• Experience working with children (ABA, special education, childcare, or related)
• Strong interpersonal and leadership skills
• Ability to support and guide other staff in a positive, constructive way
• Comfort working with early learners who need support with engagement and communication
• Willingness to receive and implement feedback
• Reliable, consistent, and team-oriented

Preferred:

• RBT certification or working toward certification
• Experience in ABA or early intervention
• Experience mentoring or training others

Why This Role Matters:You’ll be helping children build foundational skills that impact:

• communication
• relationships
• independence

And you’ll help shape the experience of newer staff—directly impacting the quality of care across the team.

Hiring Process:We include a brief in-person observation as part of the process so you can see what sessions are really like and determine if the role is a good fit.

Apply if you are someone who:

• enjoys working closely with children
• can stay patient and steady during challenging moments
• likes helping others learn and grow
