• Paid Training & Weekly Supervision: Extensive paid onboarding plus weekly clinical supervision and ongoing mentorship from BCBAs.

• Career Advancement: Clear promotion paths for BTs at every stage, including BCBA sponsorship for top performers (Master's in ABA tuition covered by ANNA).

• Supportive Team Culture: Monthly team lunches, seasonal celebrations, summer events, and a community that grows together.

Key Responsibilities:

• Implement individualized ABA therapy plans under BCBA supervision to teach new skills in communication and socialization while reducing any challenging, injurious behaviors.

• Deliver play-based, child-centered therapy using the NDBI framework.

• Obtain and maintain active Registered Behavior Technician (RBT) certification in good standing, including BACB supervision, renewal, and ethics requirements.

• Build positive relationships with children and families, providing caregivers with daily updates.

• Maintain a safe, organized and engaging therapy environment.

Qualifications:

• Registered Behavior Technician (RBT) certification — required as a condition of employment. Candidates who are not yet certified must complete ANNA's paid RBT training program (40-hour training, supervised competency assessment, and certification exam — all provided by ANNA at no cost) and obtain certification within the timeframe set by ANNA's onboarding policy. Certification must be maintained in good standing throughout employment.

• Available Monday–Friday, 8:00 AM–4:30 PM.
