About this role

About FirstSteps

The FirstSteps Team is inspired by the belief that every child deserves the opportunity to achieve their fullest potential. To that end, our mission is twofold: to provide the best evidence-based, behavior analytic treatment to our children diagnosed with autism and related learning differences, and to offer a positive, collaborative, and dynamic work experience for our team. We are steadfastly committed to ongoing training and mentorship of our employees, always motivated to support the next generation of clinical leaders in our field and at FirstSteps. Our greatest reward is witnessing the rapid and joyful learning of our little ones and knowing that together, we are creating more happy days for the kids and families we serve.

Behavior Technician | $23–25/hr + Paid RBT Certification
Help young children with autism learn to communicate, play, and build independence. No experience needed, we train you and pay for your certification.

At FirstSteps for Kids, you'll work one-on-one with young children, building the communication, play, and everyday-life skills that help them succeed at home, in school, and in their community. You'll see the small wins up close: a first word, a first friendship, a child doing something today they couldn't do last week. And the skills you help teach now don't just shape a good day, they change the trajectory of a child's whole future.

Why you'll love it here

  • $23–25/hour to start, with $1/hour increase opportunities multiple times a year

What we're looking for

  • People who are patient, dependable, and genuinely enjoy working with kids
  • Experience with children through work, school, or volunteering is a plus
  • A valid driver's license and reliable transportation
