Behavior Technician (Work with children with autism!)

Do you enjoy working with children with special needs? Are you interested in psychology or special education? Would your friends describe you as playful, patient, and a quick learner? If so, then we’ve got a job for you!

The Child Center is looking for behavior technicians to work one-on-one with children who have

autism/developmental disabilities at our clinic in Eugene, OR. Our behavior technicians are responsible for teaching new skills to their clients, using Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA), to promote independence and reduce challenging behaviors. All behavior technicians are paraprofessionals that are supervised by a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA).

Upon hire, behavior technicians will be provided with the necessary training and guidance to become Registered Behavior Technicians (a nationally recognized professional credential)!

If you’re interested in helping to make long-lasting, positive changes in a child’s life, then we’d like to hear from you! Here are some other personal characteristics that align with our program’s culture:

Lots of energy

A willingness to be silly and play!

Patience with children who have behavioral difficulties

A desire to learn

We invest in our employees, so we'd like for them to invest in us, too. We're looking for applicants who are willing to commit to either our M-F 8:30 AM-12:30 PM or 11:30 AM-3:30 PM schedule for at least 1 year. The onboarding process for this position typically takes 3 weeks.
