BrightPath is seeking a skilled and resilient Behavior Technician to support adolescents in a licensed corporate foster care setting. Youth served may have developmental disabilities, mental health diagnoses, trauma histories, and high-risk behaviors. This role requires structure, consistency, strong boundaries, and the ability to implement individualized behavior and support plans within a 24-hour shift-staff model.

This position supports teenage males with significant behavioral and mental health needs, including histories of trauma, aggression, emotional dysregulation, property destruction, elopement, and other high-risk behaviors. Successful candidates are comfortable working in a residential environment where behavioral crisis intervention, relationship-building, and consistent implementation of individualized support plans are essential.

Please Note: This position differs significantly from clinic-based ABA, autism center, school-based paraprofessional, or Registered Behavior Technician (RBT) roles that primarily serve young children in structured clinical settings. Applicants should have experience supporting adolescents or adults with significant behavioral, developmental, mental health, trauma-related, or forensic needs in residential, foster care, inpatient, crisis, corrections, or similar high-acuity environments. Candidates whose experience is limited to clinic-based ABA or autism treatment settings may not have the experience necessary for this role.

• Implement Individualized Support Plans, Behavior Support Plans, and safety protocols.

• Provide trauma-informed, person-centered care in alignment with 245D standards.

• Support youth with activities of daily living (ADLs), emotional regulation, skill development, and community integration.

• Utilize de-escalation strategies and approved crisis intervention techniques.

• Document services, incidents, and progress notes accurately and timely.

• Collaborate with guardians, case managers, therapists, and the internal clinical team.

• Participate in required trainings, including CPI and Positive Supports Rule.

• Minimum two years of direct experience supporting adolescents or adults with significant behavioral, developmental, or mental health needs in a residential, foster care, inpatient, crisis, corrections, or similar high-acuity environment.

• Experience must include implementing behavior support strategies during behavioral crises. Clinic-based ABA, autism center, school paraprofessional, or RBT-only experience does not meet this requirement.

• Experience working with adolescents preferred within foster care, residential, or mental health settings.

• Ability to safely respond to behavioral crises.

• Strong documentation skills.

• Ability to pass a DHS background study.

• Valid driver's license with an acceptable driving record.

• Four years of direct experience supporting youth with high behavioral acuity.

• Experience implementing Behavior Support Plans, IEP-aligned strategies, or trauma-informed models.

• Knowledge of Minnesota 245D regulations and service recipient rights.

• Experience collaborating with county case managers and guardians.

• Calm under pressure with strong emotional regulation.

• Strong communication and teamwork skills.

• Committed to preserving youth dignity while maintaining safety and accountability.

• Growth-oriented and open to coaching and feedback.

• Structured onboarding and annual 245D training.

• CPI certification.

• Clear pathways for advancement.
