What You Bring:

• The "Spark": You are naturally outgoing, energetic, and comfortable being high-energy to keep a child engaged and learning.

• Experience: 1+ year of experience working with children (daycare, camp counselor, teaching, coaching, or similar) is required.

• Reliability: You must have reliable transportation to travel to client homes in the Marion area.

• Commitment to Growth: Passing RBT Certification within 90 days of hire is required (we will help you study and cover the cost!).

• Training: Proof of completion of a 40-hour Behavior Technician training course is preferred but not required to interview.
