Certified Nursing Assistant work as a Behavior Technician

A New Path for CNAs: Transition Into ABA Therapy

At United Care ABA, we know many Certified Nursing Assistants (CNAs) are ready for a fresh opportunity - to use their compassion and skills in a new way while building a long-term career. We are actively hiring Behavior Technicians (BT) who are passionate about working with children and ready to transition into the field of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA). This is a great fit if you’re looking for a second job to balance with day or night CNA shifts, or if you’re ready to make a full career change into ABA.

Hands-On Training: Learn while you work and prepare for RBT certification with guided support.

Regular Check-Ins and Clinical Supervision: You’ll have access to experienced BCBAs every step of the way.

Clear Path for Growth: We support your advancement from BT to RBT - and beyond.

Strong Team Culture: You’ll be surrounded by people who care about your development and client success.

We help you grow your skills so you can help children grow theirs.
