Behavior Technician

Job Description

Job Description

Overview

Healthy Minds ABA is seeking compassionate and dependable Behavior Technicians to provide individualized, in-home ABA services to children and families throughout Fremont, Newark, and surrounding areas.

This is a hands-on, direct-care role . Behavior Technicians work one-on-one with clients to implement individualized treatment goals under clinical supervision while collecting behavioral and skill-acquisition data used by the clinical team to monitor progress and guide treatment.

We currently have multiple staffing needs in the Fremont/Newark area, with many opportunities taking place during weekday afternoon and after-school hours. Schedules vary by client.

This is an in-person, field-based position. Services are provided in clients’ homes and/or other approved service settings rather than at a central Healthy Minds office. This is not a remote position.

Current openings are primarily part-time. Additional hours may become available through compatible client assignments based on employee availability, location, qualifications, and current client needs.

We welcome experienced Behavior Technicians and RBTs, as well as new graduates and candidates with backgrounds in psychology, child development, education, behavioral health, special education, caregiving, social services, or related fields.

Spanish language proficiency is preferred for certain current client assignments but is not required for all opportunities.

Responsibilities

• Provide individualized 1:1 ABA support under the supervision of a BCBA and clinical team
• Implement individualized skill-acquisition and behavior-support procedures as outlined in the client’s treatment plan
• Support goals related to communication, social and adaptive skills, daily living skills, independence, and behavior
• Respond to challenging behavior using approved procedures and guidance from the clinical team
• Collect accurate behavioral and skill-acquisition data throughout sessions
• Complete timely and accurate clinical session notes and documentation
• Build rapport with clients through play, preferred activities, reinforcement, prompting, and individualized teaching strategies
• Follow established treatment plans and clinical recommendations
• Communicate relevant session information with supervisors and caregivers
• Maintain reliable attendance, professional communication, and appropriate client boundaries
• Accept and implement clinical feedback as client needs and treatment goals evolve

Schedule & Case Opportunities

Schedules are based on individual client needs, authorized service hours, and family availability. Many current Fremont/Newark opportunities are during weekday afternoon and after-school hours.

Team members are thoughtfully matched with cases based on location, availability, relevant experience, client needs, and scheduling compatibility.

Part-time schedules may include one or multiple client assignments. Candidates seeking additional hours may be matched with additional compatible clients as opportunities become available.

Because ABA services are scheduled around individual client needs and family availability, schedules may not follow a traditional continuous 9-to-5 workday.

Qualifications

• Experience working with children, individuals with autism or developmental disabilities, behavioral health, special education, caregiving, or related populations is preferred
• Education or experience in psychology, child development, education, social work, behavior analysis, or a related field is a plus
• Previous ABA or Behavior Technician experience is preferred but not required for every opportunity
• Active RBT certification is valued and may be required for certain client assignments, but is not required for all Behavior Technician opportunities
• Ability to follow treatment protocols, collect accurate data, maintain professional documentation, and accept clinical feedback
• Strong communication skills, reliability, professionalism, and willingness to learn
• Ability to reliably travel to assigned client homes or approved service locations throughout Fremont, Newark, and nearby areas
• Afternoon and after-school availability is especially valuable for several current cases
• Spanish language proficiency is preferred for certain current bilingual client needs

Some client assignments may have additional training, credentialing, or funding-source requirements. These requirements will be discussed before placement.

Pay & Benefits

$23–$29/hour

Starting rates are determined based on relevant experience, education and training, active credentials or certifications, and other job-related assignment requirements.

• 40 hours of paid sick time per year, with use available after 90 days of employment
• Health benefit/HRA eligibility after 90 days for employees working 35+ hours per week, subject to applicable plan terms
• Flexible scheduling and case opportunities based on client availability
• Thoughtful client/therapist matching
• Ongoing BCBA and clinical supervision
• Support from both clinical and administrative teams
• Opportunities for additional case hours as compatible openings become available
• Mileage reimbursement between client sessions when applicable
• Professional growth and experience-building opportunities
• Support and connection within a smaller team environment
