Behavior Technician (BT) / RBT — Part-Time & Full-Time Available $18.00–$24.00/hr (Paid Training)

Trailhead Family & Life Skills is hiring compassionate, energetic individuals to join our clinical team as Behavior Technicians (BT) and Registered Behavior Technicians (RBT) in Colorado Springs.

Whether you are a student exploring psychology, education, or healthcare looking to gain paid clinical experience, or an established RBT seeking a values-driven practice, Trailhead provides a collaborative, supportive workplace where you can do meaningful work without burning out. 

We are seeking dedicated team members for both part-time schedules (under 28 weekly hours) and full-time roles (28+ weekly hours). Trailhead offers various benefit levels, including a health insurance allowance, in accordance with our employment agreement which will be reviewed during the interview process.

We are a locally owned, trauma-informed ABA practice. We believe effective therapy should never come at the expense of a child’s dignity, autonomy, or individuality. Our therapy is child-led, relationship-based, and focused on practical communication and life skills—not forcing children to simply "look compliant."

What You Will Do

• Work 1-on-1 with children on the Autism spectrum in natural settings (clinic, home, and community/school).
• Implement individualized behavior intervention and skill-acquisition plans designed by Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs).
• Teach functional communication, emotional regulation, social play, and daily life skills through play and connection.
• Accurately track data during sessions using clinical software to monitor client growth.
• Collaborate closely with families, BCBAs, and clinical teammates in a supportive, trauma-informed environment.

• For Entry-Level Behavior Technicians:
  • No prior ABA experience required—we provide 100% paid training and supervision to help you earn your national RBT credential.
  • Interest or coursework in Psychology, Education, Human Services, Child Development, or related fields.
  • Experience with children (e.g., childcare, tutoring, camp counseling, or family caregiving) is a strong plus.
• For Current Registered Behavior Technicians (RBTs):
  • Active RBT credential with the BACB in good standing.
  • Demonstrated commitment to neuro-affirming, assent-based, and trauma-informed practices.
• General Requirements:
  • High school diploma or equivalent (minimum); Associate or Bachelor’s degree in progress or completed preferred.
  • Reliable transportation and valid driver’s license to travel within the Colorado Springs area.
  • Ability to pass background checks.
  • Physical stamina to play actively, sit on the floor, and move quickly with energetic children.

What We Offer
