Job Description

Work with Kids on the Spectrum – Build Real Experience
Flexible hours • Part-time now, more hours in summer • Resume builder

• 1:1 support • Flexible hours • Paid training

• No experience needed • Great for psych majors

• Build your resume for grad school

• Structured role, not childcare

• Learn real behavioral skills (ABA-based)

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.

Apply now.
