Behavior Technician - Join Our Team to Make a Difference! 

Are you passionate about helping children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) thrive? At California Autism Center, we are dedicated to providing high-quality Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy to young children (ages 18 months to six years) in a supportive and nurturing environment. We are currently seeking compassionate and driven individuals to join our team as Behavior Technicians. 

About the Role:

As a Behavior Technician, you will work directly with children diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder, helping them develop essential social, behavioral, and daily living skills. Using a playful and positive approach, you will implement evidence-based treatment plans designed by Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs) to support each child's growth and success in the classroom and community. 

Behavior Technicians play a vital role in shaping our clients' lives. Your day-to-day responsibilities will include: 

• Working one-on-one with clients to collect data on skill acquisition and behavioral progress, all recorded digitally on iPads. 

• Reducing behavioral excesses by following structured treatment plans. 

• Regularly communicating with supervisors and team members to ensure the best possible outcomes for our clients. 

• During downtime, you will also be responsible for preforming janitorial tasks such as sweeping, mopping, disinfecting toys and surfaces, dishwashing, trash disposal, stocking restrooms and kitchens, etc.  

Why Work with Us? 

At California Autism Center, we value our employees and offer several benefits to support your well-being: 

• In-House RBT Training: We provide comprehensive training at no cost to you, with a high pass rate for the board certification exam. Our dedicated training team will mentor you through the process, aiming for certification as a Registered Behavior Technician within 90 days.  

• Supportive Supervision: Each Behavior Technician is paired with an on-site supervisor who provides consistent guidance and support. We also offer quarterly performance reviews, monthly supervisor meetings, and regular team bonding activities to foster a collaborative work environment. 

• Career Growth Opportunities: We are committed to your professional development, offering paths beyond the Behavior Technician role, including positions such as training coordinators, case assistants, and case managers. Additionally, we provide BCBA supervision for graduate students and ongoing supervision for maintaining RBT certification. 

• Work-Life Balance: Enjoy a predictable schedule with no evenings, weekends, or driving. Our Treatment Center operates Monday through Friday, from 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM, ensuring you maintain a healthy work-life balance.
