Arizona Autism United is a leading nonprofit community organization seeking experienced and passionate Behavior Technicians (also known as ABA Therapists) in the East Valley.  We are currently looking for individuals to work in the in-home setting. This is a part-time position  with a pay range of $21-27 per hour (depending on experience). 

Behavior Technicians work  under the direction of a Licensed Behavior Analyst (BCBA) providing high quality clinic-based ABA programs for children with autism.  Applicants must have an RBT certification or similar experience with direct care for multiple children with autism.

This position includes  extensive training, ongoing professional development, competitive pay, and raises every six months! AZA United also provides a fantastic career path for staff who are on the BCBA path!

• Enrollment in a robust employee assistance program (EAP) and more!

Training

One of the things Behavior Technicians tend to look for when evaluating different employers is training and professional development.  This is an area where AZA United goes above and beyond.  To begin, every new Behavior Technician spends 2 weeks completing a hands-on paid training program at out East Valley Center, which is our model for ABA excellence, and we want every ABA Therapist to have the opportunity to learn in that environment, surrounded by peers and seasoned BCBAs.  All Behavior Technicians participate in a monthly virtual professional development seminar hosted by our senior ABA staff members, and all of that is paid time for you as well.  Ultimately, the feedback we most consistently receive from our Behavior Technicians is that they feel supported and mentored by our senior staff, which comes in part from monthly supervision and oversight sessions with our BCBAs as well as hands-on training for each new client. 

Career Development 

The role of  Behavior Technician is an excellent way to launch or expand your career in the field of autism treatment.  If you don’t already have it, our team will provide all the training and supervision you need to become nationally certified as a Registered Behavior Technician ( RBT ).  If you want to stay in the field of ABA therapy long-term, we offer an in-house mentoring program and career path to become a Board Certified Behavior Analyst ( BCBA ).   

If you plan to explore other autism treatment fields in the future, this experience will serve you well in many roles including speech therapist, psychologist, special education teacher, etc.  We have many other clinical services and professionals at AZA United that collaborate with our ABA team to provide interdisciplinary care for families, so everyone is always learning and improving treatment quality for the kids.  Most of all, we make sure ABA therapy is always tons of fun for kids and staff, because there’s nothing more rewarding than doing something you love!
