No evenings. No weekends. No driving house to house — just consistent daytime work with full-time and part-time options.

Looking for more than traditional ABA sessions?

If you are a Behavior Technician, RBT, DSP, special education assistant, or human services professional who wants a consistent daytime schedule and a real path into leadership, this may be the right fit.

At PosAbilities Center, we provide structured, person-centered programs for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Our participants work on independence, communication, social engagement, daily living skills, employment readiness, emotional regulation, recreation, and community participation.

This is not a passive supervision job. We are looking for someone who can engage participants, follow support plans, help lead activities, complete documentation, and grow into a future leadership role.

About the Role

We are hiring a Behavior Technician / Program Instructor — RBT Preferred for our Leesburg program.

This role is a strong fit for someone with experience in ABA, behavior support, autism services, special education, direct support, day support, or disability services.

You will support teens and adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities during structured activities, transitions, meals, daily routines, and community-based programming. You will help participants build meaningful skills while supporting safety, dignity, communication, independence, and participation.

The role also includes a leadership development track. A strong candidate may grow into additional responsibilities such as supporting daily program flow, assisting with staff coordination, helping with role assignments, monitoring documentation follow-through, and eventually advancing into a Program Lead or Program Manager role.

• Complete documentation, attendance tracking, checklists, and daily notes as assigned.
• Communicate participant needs, staff concerns, and operational issues to leadership.
• Participate in training, supervision, team meetings, and leadership development.
