What is a floating RBT?

A Floating Registered Behavior Technician (RBT) is a certified paraprofessional who provides applied behavior analysis (ABA) therapy to clients, typically children with autism or other developmental disorders. Unlike standard RBTs who may be assigned to a single client or location, Floating RBTs work across multiple locations or with different clients as needed, filling in gaps or providing coverage where required. They play a key role in maintaining continuity of care and flexibility within ABA therapy programs. Floating RBTs still work under the supervision of a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) and follow detailed behavior intervention plans. This role requires adaptability, strong communication skills, and the ability to quickly build rapport with new clients.

What skills and qualifications are needed to thrive as a floating RBT?

To thrive as a Floating RBT, you need a solid understanding of applied behavior analysis (ABA) principles, an RBT certification, and the ability to adapt quickly to different client needs and environments. Familiarity with ABA data collection software, behavior intervention plans, and electronic health records is typically required. Strong communication, problem-solving skills, and flexibility help you build rapport with clients and effectively support various teams. These skills ensure consistent, high-quality care across settings and enable you to respond effectively to diverse behavioral challenges.

What unique challenges does a floating RBT face compared to a regular RBT?

As a Floating Registered Behavior Technician (RBT), you'll be assigned to work with different clients, teams, and locations as needed, rather than having a consistent caseload or work site. This flexibility can be rewarding, but it also comes with challenges such as adapting quickly to new environments, learning varied client needs, and building rapport with different supervisors and families. Floating RBTs need strong communication skills and resilience to thrive, as they often need to quickly familiarize themselves with new behavior intervention plans and team dynamics. However, this role also offers exposure to diverse experiences and learning opportunities, which can be valuable for professional growth.

What other jobs can a floating RBT get?

A floating RBT (Registered Behavior Technician) can transition into roles such as behavior technician, ABA therapist, or behavioral support staff, often requiring similar certifications and experience. They may also move into supervisory or training positions with additional education or certification, and work in settings like clinics, schools, or home-based programs.

Job description

Registered Behavior Technician (Floater)

Are you a person who enjoys working with children and is looking for a new opportunity to grow with a successful company that is focused on quality of service, each client's potential, ethics, and teamwork? Are you an ABA clinician in search of your "home" company where you can have open conversations and feel like your input matters? Are you wanting to work in an environment where you feel valued and can achieve work/life balance, as well as, growth in your career? If so, Early Autism Services might be the right fit for you!

For experienced ABA clinicians, are you a passionate and energetic Registered Behavior Technician who wants the consistency of full time hours, but who also enjoys variety in your daily schedule, with the ability to impact the lives of more clients on a weekly basis? Are you a quick learner who enjoys building rapport with clients and who loves the challenge of learning new things each day? If so, our Registered Behavior Technician (Floater) Position might be a great fit for you!

A successful candidate for this position must have a strong interest in working 1:1 with children with varying levels of skill strengths and maladaptive behaviors in a highly individualized and supported environment.

Early Autism Services (EAS) is an established provider of ABA with over 11 years of experience implementing high quality programming nationwide. We are looking for a motivated and driven candidate to grow with our organization and to work well with our team. A successful candidate shares our core values of data driven treatment and respect for all individuals and is ready to learn.

This will be a 40 hours guaranteed per week position paid at $18-$20 an hour providing direct therapy services on a rapid PRN (as needed, on call) basis. This means that your schedule will fluctuate daily based on the needs of the clients needing services each day, and as requested by the branch leadership team. You will be guaranteed 40 hours of work per week. You are expected to be available up to 40 hours per week. This is an ON CALL position. On call means that you are able to be present to cover a session within an hour's notice. On Call Floaters are relied upon to provide coverage for technicians who may request time off during the holidays, when coverage needs are more prominent. If you are not needed as a floating technician, you will be assigned administrative tasks (creating learning materials, training newer technicians, etc. to meet the 40 hours weekly).

The duties of the Behavior Technician are:

  • Working with the child in a number of skill areas, such as conversation skills, fine/gross motor skills, self-help skills, and pre-academic skills.
  • Integrating the child's family into therapy sessions.
  • Data collection and making data-based decisions.
  • Learning strategies and procedures to teach children with developmental delays.
  • Attending team meetings and coordinating with a team of therapists.

Required experience:

  • This position requires reliable transportation and the ability to arrive at an EAS clinic within an hour or less of being notified of a session needing coverage.
  • Bachelors degree or pursuit of degree in psychology, education, child development, sociology, social work or related field (Preferred)
  • Experience working with young children or children with disabilities.
  • RBT (Highly Preferred)
  • ABA experience (Required)

Working with EAS provides an opportunity for personal and career growth. Behavior Technicians with EAS advance their communication, professional, and therapeutic skills, while working individually and alongside a team of therapists. Strong candidates will be able to display a commitment to helping children advance through life by helping them develop to their highest potential.

Other requirements:

  • Must be able to pass a criminal background check
  • Must be authorized to work in the United States
  • Must be 18 years of age at time of hire
  • Physical requirements may include: Walking, occasional running, standing, sitting, kneeling, stooping, crouching, crawling, twisting, reaching above head, pulling, bending, and lifting up to 50 pounds

  • We provide all of our Behavior Technicians with an iPad/Tablets!
  • Competitive Pay!
  • Availability of cancellation pay to cover any last-minute cancellations from families
