Job Description

Behavior Technician (BT) | Autism Location: In-Home | Essex County, NJ | Spanish Speaking

At Progressive Option Support Services , we do more than provide ABA services—we create consistent, supportive environments where children can grow and families feel empowered.

We’re currently hiring Behavior Technicians (BTs) and Registered Behavior Technicians (RBTs) who are passionate about working with children and want to build meaningful experience in the field of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) .

Whether you’re experienced or continuing to grow your skillset, this role offers hands-on impact, ongoing support, and a clear path for development.

You’ll work directly with children in a home setting, helping them build essential life and communication skills through structured, supportive care.

• Provide in-home ABA therapy under the guidance of a BCBA
• Implement individualized treatment plans tailored to each child
• Track progress through data collection and session documentation (training provided)
• Support development in behavior, communication, and daily living skills
• Build strong, supportive relationships with children and their families

What We’re Looking For

We’re looking for individuals who are dependable, patient, and motivated to make a difference.

• Minimum high school diploma
• Experience working with children (ASD experience preferred)
• At least 6 months of ABA or related experience is a plus
• Strong communication skills and attention to detail
• Ability to take feedback, stay organized, and work independently
• Comfortable working in a home-based environment
• Reliable transportation and access to a mobile device for session notes

Preferred (Not Required)

• RBT (Registered Behavior Technician) certification
• Experience supporting individuals with autism or developmental disabilities
• Bilingual (Spanish speaking) or multilingual candidates are encouraged to apply

Why Join Progressive Option Support Services?

We’ve built a team where you’re supported, trained, and given real opportunities to grow.

• Competitive hourly rate: $30
• Career growth opportunities (RBT certification support + exposure to BCBA track)
• Access to training and development resources
• Supportive supervision and collaborative team environment
• Hands-on experience that builds long-term clinical skills

Additional Requirements

• Ability to pass a criminal background check
• Commitment to maintaining client confidentiality (HIPAA compliance)
• Ability to perform physical aspects of the role (light lifting, bending, kneeling, etc. during sessions)

The Bottom Line

If you’re looking for a role where your work has real, visible impact—and you want to grow within the ABA field—this is a strong place to start or continue your journey.

Apply today and be part of a team focused on progress, support, and meaningful outcomes.
