Why Join Us?

At Action Behavior Centers, we’re driven by our core values—learning, caring, fun, team, and excellence. We foster a diverse, inclusive, and collaborative environment where creativity thrives, and both personal and professional growth are encouraged.

We believe in the potential of every individual we serve, from helping children reach life-changing milestones to supporting our team’s success.

With top-tier supervision, ongoing training, and a passionate team by your side, you’ll make a real impact every day!

What you’ll be doing as a Behavior Therapist

  • Apply the principles of one-on-one ABA therapy to help children with Autism reach their full potential by reading treatment plan and program descriptions, implementing treatment in line with written description, collecting data, writing insurance notes, and implementing feedback provided by the supervisor during observation sessions.
  • Support the development of children in early childhood (ages 18 months to 8 years old) through engaging and fun therapeutic activities.
  • Collaborate with a team of individuals to optimize treatment, safety, and a fun working experience throughout the center.
  • Engage with children through play, movement, and imitation. For some kids this includes running, dancing, and singing silly songs. For others, this might look like reading a book, watching a video, or playing with cars. Keeping up with the energy and enthusiasm of the kiddos, actively engaging in play, and fostering a joyful atmosphere.
  • Effectively and positively communicate with stakeholders (e.g., peers, families, supervisors) to coordinate activities, celebrate successes, and advocate for personal needs.

Job Requirements

  • Lift and move with children in a fast paced environment, which includes the ability to lift up to 30 lbs, bend over to pick items up off the ground, squat, quickly move around on the floor, and run to effectively stay engaged with young children, keep a tidy work environment, and maintain safety.
  • Maintain an environment conducive to therapy ensuring the play spaces are tidy, organized, and conducive to a stimulating and enjoyable experience for the children.
  • Multitask to balance multiple actions, decisions, or conversations in the moment while assessing prioritization and safety for all parties.
  • Support teams by working cohesively as a center, neighborhood, and region. This may include travel to nearby centers to support, when assigned.
  • Reliable transportation and valid driver’s license required.
  • Must be at least 18 years of age and have a Highschool diploma or GED equivalent.
  • Bachelors Degree Required
