Job description
Work with Kids on the Spectrum – Build Real Experience
Flexible hours • Part-time now, more hours in summer • Resume builder
1:1 support • Flexible hours • Paid training
No experience needed • Great for psych majors
Build your resume for grad school
Structured role, not childcare
Learn real behavioral skills (ABA-based)
In college and your semester just starting?
This can be a consistent, flexible role throughout your college years—not something you have to keep replacing every semester.
At United Care ABA, we’re hiring Behavior Technicians (BTs) and Registered Behavior Technicians (RBTs) to work one-on-one with children with autism in a structured, skill-based setting.
This is not babysitting. This is hands-on experience in behavioral health, child development, and real-life skill building.
Who this is perfect for:
Psychology majors
Social work majors
Education majors
Pre-med / nursing students
Anyone planning to work with people or children
If you’ve worked as a camp counselor, tutor, paraprofessional, daycare worker, DSP, or in any child-related role—you already have a strong foundation.
What you’ll actually do:
Work 1:1 with a child with autism in home or community settings
Receive ongoing supervision and mentorship from a BCBA (Board Certified Behavior Analyst) who will guide you, support you, and help you build real clinical skills
Learn and apply the science of behavior (ABA), gaining insight into how behavior works and how to support children on the spectrum
Support children in developing communication, social skills, and independence
Use de-escalation and regulation strategies to help children navigate challenging behaviors
Help build executive functioning skills such as planning, transitions, organization, routines, and task completion
Teach and reinforce positive behaviors and daily living skills
Track behavior and progress data, building observational and clinical thinking skills
You’re not just helping—you’re learning how to understand and shape behavior in a way that applies not only to children with autism, but to working with people and children in any setting.
Why this job makes sense (especially for students):
Flexible scheduling around your classes
Part-time during the school year, with more hours available in summer
Consistent work you can keep throughout college
Hands-on experience that actually builds your resume (not fluff)
Direct exposure to behavioral health, therapy, and child development
Real mentorship—not being thrown into a job and left there
What we offer:
Competitive pay: $21–$24+ per hour
Paid training and support toward RBT certification
Ongoing supervision and mentorship from experienced BCBAs
Structured sessions and clear expectations so you know what you’re doing
Growth opportunities if you want to stay and advance in the field
What we’re looking for:
Experience working with children (any setting counts)
Strong communication skills and the ability to connect with kids
Reliability and follow-through
Willingness to learn, take feedback, and grow
Most important:
Once you commit to a schedule, consistency matters. These kids rely on routine, so showing up and being dependable is not optional—it’s part of the job.
Availability may include after-school hours, evenings, and weekends (we build schedules around your availability)
Summer sessions offers daytime options as well since childnren are out of school
Bilingual is a plus
This is the kind of job that actually gives you an edge—real experience, real skills, and real impact.
If you want something flexible that also moves you forward, this is it.
