Behavior Technician
Are You Interested in the Why Behind the Behavior?
You spent four years studying the brain, human development, and the laws of learning. Now, don't just read about it—apply it.
At Life We Deserve, we aren't a corporate "ABA factory." We are a high-fidelity, quality-focused clinic where the science of behavior is practiced with heart. We don't just "manage" behavior; we use operant conditioning and precise shaping to give children a voice and a sense of agency.
The "Aha!" Moments We Live For
We don’t settle for "good enough." Our team works for the breakthrough moments that bridge the gap between theory and life-changing reality:
Building Self-Advocacy: Moving beyond compliance to teach non-verbal learners how to say "No" and "Stop," giving them the power to advocate for their own needs.
Clinical Desensitization: Using systematic shaping to transform a traumatic doctor’s visit into a tear-free, successful appointment.
Cognitive Generalization: Moving a child from memorized "rote" responses to true functional literacy—reading their first words and sharing their world with others.
Social Perspective Taking: Teaching the nuances of empathy and social connection, moving beyond simple labels to understanding why others feel the way they do.
Why Real Clinicians Choose Life We Deserve
In-Person Mentorship (No "Zoom Supervision"): Our BCBAs are on-site and face-to-face. You get real-time, hands-on mentorship—not a face on a laptop screen.
The "35-Hour Sweet Spot": We value your longevity. Full-time is 35 hours (8:30 AM – 5:00 PM), with one day a week for a late start or early exit.
The "Gap-Free" Guarantee: Your paycheck is stable. If a client cancels, you still get paid. We don't believe you should be punished for a change in schedule.
Elite Fieldwork Program: If you are on the BCBA track, we provide paid unrestricted hours, weekly clinical meetings, and opportunities to attend professional conferences.
The Reality of the Role
This is not "babysitting." It is an intensive, analytical role. To thrive here, you must:
Be Analytical in the Moment: Can you remain an objective scientist when a session gets tough?
Be Solution-Oriented: You will be expected to review data and read clinical articles to find ways to break down complex tasks.
Value Persistence: We are the architects of our clients' progress. We don't just "pass the time"; we build competence.
Who You Are
The Student: You are a Psychology grad (or senior) who wants a career, not a gig.
The Observer: You understand that patience, consistency, and reinforcement are the keys to all learning—whether you've worked in childcare, research labs, or animal behavior.
The Professional: You are ready to earn your RBT certification (we provide the paid training) and join a small, elite team.
