About the Job: Part-time Behavior Technician

Cortica is actively seeking enthusiastic and dedicated part-time Behavior Technicians to join our dynamic team. In this pivotal role, you will be instrumental in helping children with autism and other developmental differences build essential communication, play, social, and daily life skills through the application of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) techniques.

All experience levels are welcome to apply, as we provide comprehensive training and cover all certification costs.

At its core, ABA operates on the principle that behavior can be systematically studied and improved.

• High School Diploma or equivalent required; a Bachelor’s or Master’s Degree is highly valued.
• Willingness to obtain your BCAT (Board Certified Autism Technician) credential within 90 days of your start date (we provide all necessary training and support!).
• Ability to consistently travel between client sites within a 30–40-minute radius, utilizing reliable transportation.
• Tech-savvy with proficiency in EMR systems and Microsoft Office tools.

Compensation & Benefits:

Learning & Advancement Opportunities:

• Comprehensive 3-week orientation followed by continuous hands-on training.
• Dedicated BCAT exam review sessions and full coverage of your exam fees.
• Expert coaching and mentorship from experienced Behavior Analysts.
• Opportunities to ascend within our Behavior Technician Clinical Ladder.
• Chance to explore new roles and responsibilities as our team continues to grow.
