Job description


Registered Behavior Technician (RBT)

About Us

Comprehensive Learning Services is dedicated to providing high-quality applied behavior analysis (ABA) services to individuals and families in our community. Our team is passionate about making a meaningful difference through evidence-based, compassionate care. We are currently seeking a motivated and dedicated Registered Behavior Technician (RBT) to join our growing team.
Position Overview

This is a part-time, hourly position working 20 hours per week during afternoon hours. The ideal candidate will demonstrate strong clinical skills, a positive attitude, and a commitment to client success. Based on satisfactory performance, there is a clear pathway to transition into a full-time role.
Key Responsibilities

•     Implement individualized ABA treatment plans under the supervision of a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA)
•     Collect accurate data on client behavior and skill acquisition, using patterns and clinical reasoning to inform practice
•     Deliver direct therapy services to clients in a professional and compassionate manner
•     Maintain clear and timely session notes and documentation
•     Identify and communicate subtle antecedents, setting events, and motivating operations to the supervising BCBA
•     Communicate effectively with supervisors, team members, and families — translating ABA concepts into accessible, jargon-free language
•     Participate in supervision sessions prepared with targeted questions and relevant data
•     Support and model professional behavior for junior staff members
•     Adhere to BACB ethics code in practice, and proactively flag concerns related to treatment integrity, assent, or client safety
What We're Looking For

We take pride in building a team of clinically strong, emotionally mature, and ethically grounded RBTs. The qualities below are what distinguish a great fit at Comprehensive Learning Services:

1. Clinical Mindset

•     Thinks in functions, patterns, and data — not just procedures
•     Asks why before implementing; can articulate clinical rationales in plain language
•     Notices subtle antecedents, setting events, and environmental changes

2. Emotional Regulation & Professionalism

•     Remains calm and composed during challenging behaviors, parent concerns, or team stress
•     Does not personalize client behavior or corrective feedback
•     Receives feedback without defensiveness and applies it constructively

3. Ethics & Scope Awareness

•     Understands what is and is not within RBT scope of practice
•     Seeks supervision appropriately and proactively
•     Flags ethical concerns early — including treatment integrity, assent, and safety

4. Reliability & Ownership

•     Consistent attendance and punctuality are non-negotiable
•     Follows through on responsibilities without requiring micromanagement
•     Treats client outcomes as a shared responsibility, not simply a shift obligation

5. Communication & Collaboration

•     Collaborates with team members constructively; handles disagreements respectfully and privately
•     Communicates professionally and warmly with caregivers while maintaining appropriate boundaries
•     Knows when to defer clinical decisions to the supervising BCBA

Minimum Qualifications

•     Current RBT certification in good standing (required)
•     High school diploma or equivalent; bachelor's degree in psychology, education, or related field preferred
•     Prior experience working with individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) or developmental disabilities
