Job Description
Some jobs give you a paycheck. Others give you a reason to smile on the drive home. Why not find both?
Imagine being part of the moment a child learns to communicate something they've been working toward for weeks. Or watching a family celebrate a skill that once seemed out of reach.
At Adventure ABA, LLC, those moments are what make our work so special.
We're welcoming new Full-Time Autism Behavior Therapists to our Phoenix team! If you're patient, energetic, compassionate, and love working with children, you may be exactly who we're looking for.
No previous ABA experience is necessary! We offer paid RBT training for individuals with a high school diploma or equivalent, giving you the opportunity to learn a new profession while making a positive impact.
Hourly Pay: $18–$28
More Than Just a Job
Working at Adventure ABA means becoming part of a company that genuinely cares about the people behind the progress.
We're locally owned and operated by a BCBA team that believes high-quality therapy and a fun, supportive workplace go hand in hand.
Our full-time team members receive benefits including Medical, Dental, Vision, Paid Time Off, Paid Mental Health Days, Mental Health Support, Tuition Discounts, a Free BCBA Supervision Program, a Starting Bonus, Local Discounts, and a Snack/Drink Room.
The Little Moments Make the Biggest Difference
As an Autism Behavior Therapist, you'll spend your days building positive relationships with children while supporting their individual learning goals.
One session might involve practicing social interactions through a favorite game. Another might focus on communication, independence, or learning a new daily routine.
Your responsibilities will include implementing behavior intervention plans, documenting client progress, working alongside BCBAs, and creating positive learning experiences.
Sessions may take place in our Phoenix clinic, client homes, or school environments.
Above all, your role is to help children develop meaningful skills while respecting their individuality and celebrating their accomplishments.
