Job Description:

Description:Behavior Technician (Registered)Our purpose is to move the next generation of kids with autism to a more independent and meaningful life and our Behavior Technicians are at the heart of all we do. As a Behavior Technician, you will work directly with clients delivering high quality, intensive, ABA interventions under supervision of the Behavior Analysts (BCBA) who develop each client's treatment plan.As a Behavior Technician (Registered), YOU:

• Make a difference. Everything we do is focused on making a difference in the lives of the kids and families we serve--- and you're at the heart of our mission. From working one-on-one with kiddos to deliver direct ABA (Applied Behavior Analysis) treatment, you will support them increasing their skills, decreasing problem behavior and strengthening the behavioral supports in place. You will change lives every single day--- now that's work worth doing!
• Work Collaboratively. Through working closely with the supervising BCBA and your Behavior Technician colleagues, you will ensure the highest quality care is delivered. You will support parent and caregiver training, communicate with parents, supervisor(s) and your peers to consistently improve treatment plans. You and your teammates are working together constantly to make every moment matter for the kiddos you serve.
• Understand the devil is in the details. By collecting data and documenting client records, you are monitoring progress and enabling the best possible treatment decisions. Without your attention to detail, kiddos don't get the care they need, so you cross every "t" and dot every "I" to bring life-changing treatment to the families you serve.
• Are a cultural centerpiece. Your interaction with our clients and families is constant. You ensure they're informed and engaged in the care you're delivering. Your clients see you as a trusted caregiver, a helpful resource and a critical part of our team and Acorn's culture.YOU ARE A:
  • Trusted Caregiver. Our team runs on relationships and empathy. Professionalism and patience are at the heart of building strong bonds with our clients. But that's not enough. You act not only as a caregiver, but as a trusted partner, sharing your insights and perspective in an effort to move your clients forward.
  • Positive Teammate. Our job can be challenging some days. You thrive in an environment that is focused on winning together, supporting one-another through positive reinforcement and jumping in when a coworker needs a little extra support. Our team and our families win when we all work together.
  • Fun-Maker. NEWSFLASH--- we work with kids! If you're super serious, don't like to play games and just want to sit at a desk--- this is NOT the place for you! You thrive in environments that are focused on fun, while implementing evidence-based treatment.
  • Daring Leader. At the Acorn Health, everything we do is grounded in daring leadership. You bring brave work, courageous conversations and a whole heart to all you do. Leadership is not a rank, it's not about being in charge; it's about taking care of those in our charge. You inspire those around you to dream more, learn more, do more and become more.Acorn Health Will:
    • Listen to you. We need your thoughts, ideas and passion to help make this the best team in autism care. You talk, we'll listen.
