Job Description

We are looking for enthusiastic individuals to join our team as Behavior Technicians. As a Behavior Technician, you will have the opportunity to make a real difference in the lives of children with autism.

In this role, 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 the end of each day, you will go home knowing that you have made a meaningful impact on the life of a child and their family. Join us and become a part of a dedicated team that is changing lives for the better. Apply now to start your journey as a Behavior Technician with us!

Pay Range: $16 - $20

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, squad, bend, etc.)
  • Ability to lift and carry up to 50 pounds

Perks of Working at Centria:

  • Structured career path in the field of Behavioral Analysis
  • Discounts to hundreds of retail partners via our Benefit Hub
  • Access to Centria’s Employee Assistance Plan with benefits around mental health and counseling
  • Unlimited opportunities to make an impact in the life of a special needs child
