Crystal Lake, IL, United States Behavioral Perspective Inc Full time

Are you passionate about making a positive impact on the lives of others and seeking a fulfilling career path? At Behavioral Perspective (BPI), we offer an exciting opportunity to become a Behavior Technician, providing essential therapy services to children, teens, and young adults with Autism.

We are looking for candidates to add to our already amazing team who can work during clinic operating hours of 8:00 AM - 6:00 PM, open availability preferred. Start and end times may vary based on location and client schedules.

**What does a Behavior Technician do?**

Registered Behavior Technicians (RBTs) are certified paraprofessionals in Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) who work directly with clients diagnosed with Autism, providing individualized, one-on-one therapy sessions. In this role, you will collaborate closely with experienced managers and Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs) to support our clients in achieving their goals in a variety of locations, including BPI clinics, client homes, schools, and community settings.

**How will you contribute?**

As a Behavior Technician, your primary focus will be working directly with clients on a 1:1 basis. Your work will empower clients to develop self-advocacy skills, acquire crucial life skills, and enhance their ability to communicate effectively. This role goes beyond typical childcare; you will be instrumental in helping clients learn socially significant behaviors, manage challenging behaviors, and improve their social interactions.

We are seeking dedicated individuals who are committed to serving as positive role models and advocates for our clients. While some days may be more challenging than others, you will consistently witness the meaningful impact of your efforts on the lives of those you support.

* Regular pay increases tied to professional milestones, such as obtaining your Registered Behavior Technician (RBT) certification or completing your education.
* Clear career growth pathways through our tiered BT program and opportunities for internal advancement across departments.
* The chance to collaborate with experienced therapists to expand your skills and knowledge.
* A professional development allowance to support your ongoing learning and career growth.
* Comprehensive health, dental, and vision benefits for full-time employees (30+ hours per week).
