Job Description

Futures, a part of the Sevita family, is a dedicated provider of community and center-based Applied Behavioral Analysis (ABA) services specifically designed for individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and other related disorders. With over 15 years of experience, Futures has built a reputation for offering a collaborative, team-based approach focused on assisting children and families to reach their fullest potential. Our services emphasize a supportive environment where each individual receives tailored behavioral interventions aimed at improving social, communication, and daily living skills. Futures is committed to fostering a nurturing and inclusive atmosphere where professionals and families work together to achieve meaningful progress in the lives of those we serve.

Sevita, the parent organization, is a leading provider of home and community-based specialized healthcare for over 50 years, serving 50,000 individuals across the United States through a compassionate team of 40,000 employees. Sevita’s mission is to empower individuals by providing quality, individualized supports that promote growth and independence regardless of physical, intellectual, or behavioral challenges. Sevita is proud to be an equal opportunity employer, fostering a workplace free from discrimination and promoting diversity and inclusion among its workforce.

The Behavior Technician role at Futures is a part-time position ideal for someone passionate about making a tangible difference in the lives of children with developmental disabilities and autism. The position operates primarily during after-school hours, Monday through Friday from 12:00 pm to 6:00 pm, and offers an hourly pay rate of $24.50. Additionally, there is a $1,000 new hire bonus as a welcome incentive. Working closely with a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA), the Behavior Technician implements behavior management programs designed to promote positive behavioral changes in a center-based environment.

This position demands a hands-on approach in building therapeutic relationships and applying ABA techniques to follow individualized treatment plans. The Behavior Technician will collaborate closely with families and treatment team members to consistently provide effective behavior interventions without disrupting the environment. Key responsibilities include data collection on various behavior metrics, educating parents or guardians on reinforcement techniques, and ensuring accurate and timely documentation. The role also involves scheduling leisure activities to engage clients and participating in clinical team meetings to discuss progress and challenges.

Futures values professionals who are empathetic listeners, capable communicators, and dedicated team players committed to the mission of transforming lives through scientifically-guided behavioral interventions. This role offers significant opportunities for career advancement, support for BCBA supervision hours, and a comprehensive benefits package once the threshold of working 32 hours weekly is met. By joining Futures, behavior technicians become part of a driven team focused not only on the immediate needs of individuals with ASD but also on their long-term growth and community inclusion.

For individuals seeking purpose-driven work with the chance to contribute to a meaningful cause, the Behavior Technician role at Futures provides a unique career path combining specialized skill development and genuine impact, within a supportive and inclusive organizational culture.
