About the role
๐ต Starting at $19/hour ($22.50 once RBT certified - all training paid)ย
๐ Paid Training & Certification
๐ Daytime shifts (starting at 8am, 9am, 1pm, or 4pm) & Saturday availability needed
At North Shore Pediatric Therapy (NSPT), we do more than provide therapyโwe create spaces where autistic children are respected, supported, and empowered. We donโt believe in one-size-fits-all care or outdated models. Our approach is assent-based, neuroaffirming, and team-driven, with deep respect for each childโs individuality, autonomy, and potential.
As a Behavior Technician, youโll be part of that mission. Youโll help kids build communication, independence, and confidenceโand youโll be supported every step of the way by a team that values your growth just as much as theirs.
What a Day Looks Like:
Being a Behavior Technician is active, hands-on, and deeply meaningful. Youโll spend most of your day working 1:1 with kids (ages 2โ12), helping them build skills that support their growth at home, school, and in everyday life.
Hereโs what that actually looks like:
- Playing games on the floor to work on language or social skills
- Helping a child learn how to ask for help, tie their shoes, or transition between tasks
- Managing tough moments like meltdowns or elopement with patience and a calm presence
- Tracking progress and taking session notes so your BCBA can update therapy plans
- Communicating with your team throughout the day to problem-solve, celebrate wins, and adjust support as needed
- Staying flexibleโevery child is different, and every day brings something new
Itโs not a desk jobโitโs a roll-up-your-sleeves, be-there-in-the-moment kind of role. But if you love working with kids, itโs one of the most rewarding ways to spend your day.
Why North Shore Pediatric Therapy:
Weโre not your typical ABA clinicโand weโre proud of that. At NSPT, we donโt force compliance or chase cookie-cutter milestones. Instead, we prioritize:
- Assent-based care that honors boundaries and centers the childโs voice.
- Collaborative, interdisciplinary teamworkโyouโll work alongside OTs, SLPs, and mental health professionals.
- Supportive leadership and mentorship, with real-time coaching and thoughtful feedback.
- A people-first culture where growth is structured, wins are celebrated, and youโre never alone.
How Youโll Grow With Us:
Whether youโre here to learn or build a full career, we make sure your development is intentional and supported. You'll start with paid RBT training and certification in your first month (plus a raise once you pass) and receive performance reviews and raises every 6 months. From there, your path can look like:
- Behavior Therapist (BT) โ Registered Behavior Technician (RBT) โ Certified with hands-on experience and real mentorship
- RBT โ Clinical Fellowship Student (ACC) โ Lead ACC โ Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) โ For BCBA students, we help with restricted and unrestricted hours, test prep, and becoming a strong, compassionate clinician.
- RBT โ Lead RBT โ For those who want to grow as leaders without pursuing credentialing as a BCBA, SLP, or OT.
No matter where youโre headed, weโll help you get there.

- ๐ช Real-time support and mentorship from experienced clinicians
- ๐ Flexible schedules (start times at 8am, 9am, 1pm, or 3pm) that fit your life
- ๐ Monthly team events, shoutouts, and a clinic culture that genuinely cares

- High school diploma or GED required
- Afternoon/evening (starting at 3pm) and Saturday availability required
At NSPT, we know this work is challengingโbut itโs also joyful, meaningful, and deeply rewarding. Youโll be surrounded by people who are passionate about what they do, and who care deeply about the children and team members they work with.
