    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

    1. 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

    1. 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

    1. 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

    1. 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

    • Reliable, punctual, and able to commit to a consistent afternoon schedule

    • Must pass background check and meet all applicable compliance requirements

    Why Join Comprehensive Learning Services?

    • Supportive, team-oriented clinical environment

    • Ongoing supervision and professional development

    • Opportunity for advancement to full-time employment

    • Meaningful work with a direct impact on clients and families
