Job description

The job

You’ll work one-on-one with kids with autism in their homes, classrooms, and communities. Every day is different. You’ll follow a personalized plan from your BCBA, implement behavior strategies, collect data, and build the consistent relationships that help kids grow. Your BCBA is closely involved and reachable, so there’s no guessing and no flying solo.

What’s in it for you:

$20–$27/hour, based on experience and location
Direct mentorship from a dedicated BCBA, not managers or a corporate chain of command
Full-time or part-time (some flexibility across mornings, afternoons, and evenings is needed to meet client needs; not sure if a schedule fits? Just ask, we have many)
Career growth support, including a path toward BCBA certification
Depending on the practice: training reimbursement and paid hands-on learning for those earning their certification
You’re a good fit if you:

Genuinely enjoy working with children, especially kids who need extra patience and creativity
Have an active RBT certification, or the drive to earn one
Have reliable availability across mornings, afternoons, or evenings, since our clients count on consistency
Come from education, childcare, psychology, social work, or any role where you showed up for kids
Have reliable transportation to reach client homes and schools
Can keep up physically, getting on the floor, moving around, staying active (able to lift ~50 lbs)
Are at least 18, have a high school diploma or equivalent, and can pass a background check
Why Alpaca Health

We’re not a big clinic chain. We’re a network of independent therapists who chose this work because they believe in it, and we match every RBT with a BCBA who mentors, not manages. We match families with providers who have availability now, and we work where families actually are. If you want a career where you see the results of your work every single day, this is it.
