About Us

Kids First is a fast-growing agency servicing clients across the state of New York. We are devoted to providing quality service to individuals and families. Our therapists help children and young adults diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) reach goals set in treatment plans created by our Board-Certified Behavior Analysts using Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy methods.

Kids First is looking for passionate people who want to help make a difference in the lives of the children we serve. More than a company, we are a community of purpose-driven individuals that value inclusivity, curiosity, and providing incredible service with a heart.

What You Will Do

Kids First is looking for an ABA therapist/Behavior Technician (if you’re not yet certified, we will help you get there) to join our growing team. As a Registered Behavior Technician, you will:

• Work closely with a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) to implement individualized behavior reduction and skill acquisition treatment plans.
• Provide 1-on-1 in-home ABA therapy to assigned clients
• Be tasked with reporting to the client’s home for therapy sessions and ensuring that the client is always in a safe and positive environment.
• Ensure client satisfaction by providing the highest quality of care and support possible.
• Log daily observations of the client, collecting and reporting critical data to help in monitoring each client’s progress.
• Receive remote and/or in-person supervision by BCBA to ensure proper ABA techniques are practiced.
• Truly, we are looking for someone who would take joy in seeing and contributing to the extraordinary progress of their clients as they develop positive behaviors and learn new skills. (If this sounds like you, we encourage you to apply!)

What We Are Looking For:

You have:

• 1+ years of providing ABA therapy or implementing ABA techniques/methods in a school or home setting.
• Completed the 40-hour RBT Course (If not completed, applicant must be willing to take the course through our company).
• The ability to communicate effectively in English.
• The ability to work flexible, part-time schedules with the possibility to gain full-time hours. (We offer morning and evening shifts for this location. )
• A demonstrated ability to work with confidential information.
• Strong communication and problem solving skills (this role requires you to build rapport with the clients and families you work with).
• The ability to stay organized while multitasking in a fast-paced environment.
• 2+ years of experience working with children and/or adolescents on the autism spectrum and with developmental disabilities.
• We value finding the right person over experience. We believe that a humble, patient, and passionate candidate can be taught. So if you have informal experience working with children on the spectrum or with ABA, we would love to speak with you.

Perks (Why Choose Us?)

We provide training and development opportunities, a referral bonus structure offering up to $1,000 for qualified employees, tuition scholarship program, monthly phone stipend, and a rewarding experience helping children and families reach their highest potential!
