Portland, Oregon, United States Centria Autism Full time
Job Overview

We are seeking a dedicated and compassionate individual to join our team as a Behavior Intervention Specialist. In this role, you will have the opportunity to make a meaningful impact in the lives of children with autism.

As a Behavior Intervention Specialist, you will work one-on-one with children, implementing individualized behavior intervention plans under the guidance of a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA). You will use evidence-based techniques to teach communication, social, and daily living skills while reducing interfering behaviors.

We are looking for candidates who are passionate about helping children with autism reach their full potential. You will need to be patient, compassionate, and able to work well in a team environment. We will provide comprehensive training so that you are equipped and empowered to help each child, even if you don't currently have experience.

Children can be unpredictable and potentially confrontational, so this role is not for the weak of spirit, mind, or body. Part of the joy of working with kids is exercise. Our clients move, so you need to be comfortable standing, walking, sitting, grasping, reaching, bending, kneeling, crouching, squatting, lifting, and at times carrying children or objects that weigh up to 50 pounds.

At Centria Autism, we are committed to providing a supportive and inclusive work environment. We offer a structured career path in the field of Behavioral Analysis, discounts to hundreds of retail partners, and access to our Employee Assistance Plan with benefits around mental health and counseling.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Implement individualized behavior intervention plans under the guidance of a BCBA
  • Use evidence-based techniques to teach communication, social, and daily living skills
  • Work one-on-one with children, reducing interfering behaviors
  • Provide patient and compassionate support to children and families
  • Collaborate with a team of professionals to provide comprehensive support

Requirements:

  • Passionate about helping children with autism
  • Patient, compassionate, and able to work well in a team
  • 18+ years of age
  • High school diploma or GED
  • Ability to obtain a CPR, First Aid Certification and Tuberculosis test (if you haven't had one in the last year)
  • Ability to pass a pre-employment background check
  • Ability to move in various positions (sit, squat, bend, etc.)
  • Ability to lift and carry up to 50 pounds
  • Candidates must obtain a Registered Behavior Technician Certification after completing onboarding
