In college and your semester winding down?

We’ll work with your schedule now, increase your hours over the summer, and adjust again when classes start. This can be a consistent, flexible role throughout your college years - not something you have to keep replacing every semester.

At United Care ABA, we’re hiring Behavior Technicians (BTs) and Registered Behavior Technicians (RBTs) to work one-on-one with children with autism in a structured, skill-based setting.

This is not babysitting. This is hands-on experience in behavioral health, child development, and real-life skill building.

Who this is perfect for

• Psychology majors
• Social work majors
• Education majors
• Pre-med / nursing students
• Anyone planning to work with people or children

If you’ve worked as a camp counselor, tutor, paraprofessional, daycare worker, DSP, or in any child-related role - you already have a strong foundation.

What you’ll actually do

• Work 1:1 with a child with autism in home or community settings
• Receive ongoing supervision and mentorship from a BCBA (Board Certified Behavior Analyst) who will guide you, support you, and help you build real clinical skills
• Learn and apply the science of behavior (ABA), gaining insight into how behavior works and how to support children on the spectrum
• Support children in developing communication, social skills, and independence
• Use de-escalation and regulation strategies to help children navigate challenging behaviors
• Help build executive functioning skills such as planning, transitions, organization, routines, and task completion
• Teach and reinforce positive behaviors and daily living skills
• Track behavior and progress data, building observational and clinical thinking skills

You’re not just helping - you’re learning how to understand and shape behavior in a way that applies not only to children with autism, but to working with people and children in any setting.

Why this job makes sense (especially for students)

• Flexible scheduling around your classes
• Part-time during the school year, with more hours available in summer
• Consistent work you can keep throughout college
• Hands-on experience that actually builds your resume (not fluff)
• Direct exposure to behavioral health, therapy, and child development
• Real mentorship - not being thrown into a job and left there

What we offer

• Competitive pay: $21–$24+ per hour

Paid training and support toward RBT certification

• Ongoing supervision and mentorship from experienced BCBAs
• Structured sessions and clear expectations so you know what you’re doing
• Growth opportunities if you want to stay and advance in the field

What we’re looking for

• Experience working with children (any setting counts)
• Strong communication skills and the ability to connect with kids
• Reliability and follow-through
• Willingness to learn, take feedback, and grow

Most important:

Once you commit to a schedule, consistency matters. These kids rely on routine, so showing up and being dependable is not optional - it’s part of the job.

• Availability may include after-school hours, evenings, and weekends (we build schedules around your availability)
• Summer sessions offers daytime options as well since childnren are out of school
• Bilingual is a plus

This is the kind of job that actually gives you an edge - real experience, real skills, and real impact.

If you want something flexible that also moves you forward, this is it.
