If you're looking for a job where you show up, do real work, and leave knowing you made a difference, this is it. At Behavioral Health Works, our Behavior Technicians work one-on-one with kids with autism, helping them build communication, social, and everyday life skills through ABA therapy. No corporate fluff. Just meaningful, hands-on work with kids who need you.

• Are available weekday afternoons or evenings (3 to 8pm, minimum 3 days/week)
• Have a reliable car, valid license, and insurance
• Are comfortable with tech, you'll use your phone/tablet for data collection
• Have experience or a passion for caregiving, education, or working with kids with special needs (preferred, not required)

We'd especially love to hear from you if you have experience or interest in: paraprofessional work, caregiving, coaching, tutoring, special education, social work, mental health advocacy, youth programs, foster care, childcare, camp counseling, or any related field. Studying psychology, education, social work, human development, or something similar? Even better.

The bottom line: This isn't just a part-time gig, it's a launchpad. Whether you're building toward a career in healthcare, education, or behavioral health, or you just want work that doesn't feel pointless, BHW is a place where you can grow, get supported, and actually feel good about what you do every day.
