About the role

• NEW HARTFORD, CT: WHERE YOUR HEART GETS FULL, YOUR RESUME GETS STRONGER, AND YOU CAN GET PAID $25-$30/HR TO PLAY.
• WE'RE HIRING A BEHAVIOR TECHNICIAN / ABA PARA!
• Do you have the patience of a saint, the creativity of a preschool art teacher, and the ability to get genuinely excited about a REALLY GOOD HIGH-FIVE?
• Have you ever thought, "Honestly, I'd rather spend my afternoon doing something meaningful than answering another email that could've been a text"?
• BESTIE. WE HAVE A JOB FOR YOU.
• New Hartford, Connecticut $25-$30 PER HOUR 1:1 work with a wonderful child Paid training provided No RBT certification required to apply!
• Yes, this is a real job. Yes, PLAYING IS PART OF THE JOB. No, you do not need to arrive with a PhD in LEGO architecture. (Although your block-stacking skills will be appreciated.)

We're looking for someone who is

• A certified fun-haver. Give you some blocks, crayons, a puzzle, or a random toy, and suddenly you're running the most exciting educational experience this side of New Hartford.
• A PROFESSIONAL HYPE PERSON. A new word? INCREDIBLE. A shared toy? ICONIC. A tiny milestone? SOMEBODY GET THE CONFETTI.
• Comfortably silly. You're willing to get on the floor, make the funny voices, play the game, and look just a LITTLE ridiculous if it helps a child feel comfortable and engaged. Your dignity will recover. Probably.
• Big-hearted and dependable. You genuinely care about helping an autistic child build skills, communicate, explore, and navigate the world with greater comfort and confidence.
• Calm when things get chaotic. Because sometimes the plan is crafts, the child has other ideas, and suddenly you're negotiating with a glue stick. FLEXIBILITY IS A SUPERPOWER.

So… What Would You Actually Do?

• You'll work one-on-one with an amazing child, using play, encouragement, and individualized support to help them build meaningful skills.
• Your day might include: Practicing communication and turn-taking through games.
• Exploring crafts, puzzles, sensory activities, and creative play.
• Encouraging communication and everyday life skills in ways that feel natural and engaging.
• Celebrating progress, big and small, while tracking milestones with support from your clinical team.
• Creating a safe, positive environment where a child can learn, grow, and be themselves.
• In other words: PLAY WITH PURPOSE. CHEER LOUDLY. MAKE A DIFFERENCE. REPEAT.
• And no, it's not just playing. There's thoughtful, individualized teaching behind the fun, and you'll have experienced clinical supervisors (BCBAs) to help guide you.
• The little moments matter. The skills you help build matter. And the impact you can have on a child and their family? THAT MATTERS A WHOLE LOT.
• THE PERKS, BECAUSE GOOD VIBES DON'T PAY RENT.
• $25-$30/hour. Because doing meaningful work and paying your bills should absolutely be allowed to coexist.
• Flexible scheduling. Afternoon, evening, and weekend shifts are available. Perfect for students, aspiring clinicians, career explorers, or anyone looking to make their work feel a little more meaningful.
• RESUME GOLD. Studying psychology, special education, speech-language pathology, social work, or a related field? This hands-on experience can be a valuable addition to your professional journey.
• NEW TO ABA? YOU CAN STILL APPLY! No RBT certification is required to apply. You'll receive paid training and guidance from experienced clinical supervisors (BCBAs).
• WORK THAT FEELS MEANINGFUL. You'll have the opportunity to help a child develop skills that can make a real difference in everyday life.

• You're open to feedback, willing to learn, and comfortable following individualized guidance.
