At Proven Behavior Solutions, we’re always on the lookout for new Behavior Technicians/ABA Therapists to join our team. You don’t need a background in ABA to apply, just relevant experience, the right character, and the motivation to learn. We’ll teach you ABA.

As a best practice, we do not typically hire directly into a full-time role. Staff can expect to start part-time with a single client until schedules and proficiency allow a larger caseload. Full-time opportunities exist for current staff based on job performance and availability.
