  • Opportunities to pick up additional hours on Saturdays
  • Fully Paid Training & Certification: Kickstart your career with Cortica with a comprehensive 2-week, in-person orientation that includes hands-on training, a Board-Certified Autism Technician (BCAT) exam review, and full coverage of your exam fees. We’re invested in your success from day one.
  • Referral Bonus: Earn between $250-$500 for successful referrals.
  • Cell Phone Stipend: Stay connected with support from us.
  • Paid Drive Time and Mileage Reimbursement: We value your time on the road and include toll reimbursement in select areas.
  • 401(k) with Company Matching: Secure your future with our generous plan.
  • Ongoing Professional Development: Access continuous training through in-person and online opportunities.
  • Supportive Environment: Collaborate with and receive expert coaching from Lead BTs, ABA Assistant Supervisors, and ABA Supervisors who champion your growth.
  • Career Advancement: Opportunities to grow your career by advancing to a BCBA role, ascending the Behavior Technician Clinical Ladder, or serving in a corporate support role.
  • Learn from Experts in Other Fields: Partner with BCBAs and experts in speech-language therapy, music therapy, occupational therapy, and physical therapy as well as counselors, pediatricians, neurologists, and nurse practitioners.

    • Your Impact & Responsibilities:

  • Provide 1:1 and group behavior-analytic services to children with autism and other neurodevelopmental differences.
  • Implement positive behavior strategies developed with your BCBA.
  • Use evidence-based practices to create meaningful progress for families.
  • Document session data to track and support treatment goals.
  • Collaborate closely with families and supervisors to build supportive environments.
  • Follow Cortica's crisis protocols, including de-escalation and mandated reporting.

    • Who We’re Looking For:

  • Experience working with children (experience with autism is a plus!).
  • High School or equivalent, bachelor’s or master’s degree.
  • Willingness to obtain your BCAT credential within 90 days of your start date (We provide all training!).
  • Ability to consistently travel between client sites within a 30–40-minute radius using reliable transportation.
  • Tech-savvy with EMR systems and Microsoft Office tools.

    • Our Inclusive Culture:

  • Transdisciplinary Approach: Collaborate with experts in various fields to care for the whole child.
  • Collaborative Process: Develop individualized care plans alongside families and clinicians.
  • Strength-Based, Neurodiversity-Affirming Model: Focus on building on each child’s unique strengths rather than emphasizing deficits.

Help children recognize and build on their unique abilities, fostering positive relationships and skills that translate across home, school, and community settings.
