Do Work That Actually Matters — Join Atlas

At Atlas, we're not just delivering therapy—we're helping children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) build skills that shape their futures.

Across our centers in Missouri and Kansas, we've built our model around a simple belief: when clinicians feel supported, outcomes improve. That means giving you the structure, resources, and flexibility to focus on meaningful clinical work—without burning out.

A Smarter Way to Practice ABA

Our approach blends evidence-based models like ESDM and PRT into sessions that feel natural, play-based, and effective.

We've also removed the friction that often gets in the way:

  • Clear, predictable schedules
  • Strong staffing and operational support
  • Minimal unnecessary admin work
  • Accessible, responsive leadership

So you can spend your time where it matters most—working directly with clients.

What You Can Expect

  • Competitive compensation + performance incentives
  • Consistent Monday–Friday schedule (no late nights or weekends)
  • Generous PTO
  • Full benefits: health, dental, vision, and 401(k)
  • Ongoing mentorship and real career growth paths
  • A team that supports you—clinically and personally

A Culture That Shows Up

At Atlas, collaboration isn't a buzzword—it's how we operate. You'll work alongside people who care about doing great work and supporting each other. Leadership is present, feedback is open, and growth is actively supported.

Why It Matters

  • Progress here isn't measured in paperwork—it's measured in moments.
  • When a child communicates something new.
  • When a family feels hope.
  • When you see the impact of your work, firsthand.

Join a team where your work has purpose—and your career has room to grow.

Responsibilities

  • Provide 1:1 therapy to children with autism in a full-time center-based setting
  • Implement individualized behavior programs for patients guided by a BCBA
  • Gain expertise in Naturalistic ABA
  • Collect treatment data electronically via the program as required
  • Participate in daily circle time and social skills groups with learners
  • Help train new behavior technicians on the assigned team

Qualifications

  • High school diploma or GED required
  • Must be 18+ years of age
  • An undergraduate degree in a related field (ABA, Early Childhood Education, Psychology, etc.) is preferred but not required
  • Actively certified as a Registered Behavior Technician (RBT) OR pursue certification within 2 months of hire. Training costs are covered by Atlas
  • Additional experience in the ABA community is highly valued

Compensation $17 - $19 hourly About Atlas Autism Health
