Join Us as a Part-Time Registered Behavior Technician (RBT)

As an RBT, you’ll provide one-on-one ABA therapy to children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), helping them build communication, social, and daily living skills while reducing challenging behaviors. You’ll work closely with a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) and a collaborative care team to deliver high-quality, compassionate care.

Not certified yet? We’ve got you covered — we provide paid training and cover the cost of your RBT exam to help you launch your career with confidence.

What You'll Do:

• Deliver individualized therapy sessions in-home or clinic-based

• Implement behavior acquisition and reduction plans

• Use electronic tools such as CentralReach to conduct preference assessments and track data.

• Collaborate in clinical meetings and receive ongoing feedback and supervision

• Maintain program books and develop teaching materials

• Communicate progress to parents and caregivers

• Provide basic care (e.g., toileting, eating) as needed

What You'll Need:

• Minimum age: 18 years

• High school diploma or equivalent

• Reliable transportation (travel up to 20 miles from home to service location)

• RBT certification is preferred, but not required — if you're positive, motivated, and eager to learn, we’ll provide the training and support to help you succeed.

• Prior experience working with children—ASD experience strongly preferred

• Ability to commit to a consistent weekly schedule

• Physically able to perform job duties (e.g., kneeling, bending, lifting up to 40 lbs., moving with children)

Work Location:

This position will provide services in a clinical setting at our Owings Mills, MD clinic. The role involves working on-site as part of a collaborative team, with access to supervision, peer support, and clinic-based resources in a structured environment.

Shift Hours:

We are seeking candidates who are available during the 5:00P–8:00P time block a minimum of 4 days per week. We will work to match you with cases scheduled within that window. This role is expected to offer roughly 5–15 hours per week.

If these hours don’t align with your availability, we still encourage you to apply and connect with one of our recruiters. Our staffing needs are always evolving, and we are continuously building our talent pipeline for future opportunities.
