Are you looking for the opportunity to be a part of something truly extraordinary?
As a Behavior Technician or RBT at Kids First, you’ll play one of the most essential roles on our team and in the lives of our clients– you’ll be providing hands-on one-on-one therapy in our children’s homes to help them overcome challenging behaviors. If you are looking to embark on a journey of discovery where you can learn the science behind the most common, difficult behaviors plaguing our children today, we’d love to hear from you!
This position will be focused on:
Building Strong Connections: If you have a natural talent for working with kids, you’re in the right place. Building relationships with the children we work with is a key part of this role.

Goal Tracking and Note-taking: In this role, being observant and detail oriented is essential. You will work with your assigned client to address their behaviors, while also keeping track of and documenting those behaviors. At the end of each session, you will write end-of-session notes in our data collection system.
Continuous Learning: The field of ABA is ever evolving and Behavior Technicians must be able to dedicate time to training and development to stay up to date with BACB guidelines.
Responsibilities:
Report to the client’s home for therapy sessions and ensure that the client is always in a safe, comfortable, and positive environment.
Implement individualized treatment plans developed by our team of experienced Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs)

Use evidence-based techniques to teach and reinforce positive behaviors.
Collect and record data on the progress of each child’s goals and objectives.
Collaborate with the child’s family and other team members to ensure a holistic and comprehensive approach to care.
Receive remote and/or in-person supervision by your supervisor, the BCBA, to ensure that you are carrying out proper ABA techniques.
Participate in regular meetings with your supervisor, training sessions, and performance evaluations to enhance your skills and knowledge
The Must-Haves for Success:
A friendly and patient demeanor that can handle stressful situations with grace and understanding.
Excellent verbal and written communication skills that can adapt to speaking with children, their guardians, and members of our clinical team with ease.
A work ethic that exemplifies a commitment to above-and-beyond customer service.
The ability to work effectively independently.
Qualifications:
