    We know you have your choice of places to work so instead of telling you the requirements for the job, we’d like to start by telling you why we are a great place to work!

    We are a fresh company! Our team collectively has many years of experience in the field of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) but Growing Minds Behavioral health was fully realized and formed just a couple short years ago. As such we are learning and growing and looking to add people to our team who are visionaries and truly want to be part of a something special because that is what we are creating.

    Have a voice where you work! We believe that our RBTs are truly valuable members of our team and we take your opinions and feedback seriously. We mean it too. We have our employees complete anonymous surveys because lets be real- it can be hard to give your supervisor feedback face-to-face. We do our best to implement changes where we can based upon the feedback we receive!

    Do you want to work somewhere where you can grow? We have a low turnover rate and many of our team members have been with us from the start! As we grow we are creating innovative ways to increase opportunities for growth from within. Our team loves it here! Know your coworkers! Have you worked at other companies and found that you never meet other employees outside of your boss in real life? We’ve all been there at that sucks! We hold monthly in-person team meetings and regularly scheduled events so that we can build community within the organization.

    Provide play-based therapy!!! Many companies say they provide play-based therapy but do you see it in action? Let’s have fun while we work! The kiddos love when their technicians arrive because we pair REALLY well with them by engaging them in activities based off of their own motivation.

    We’d love to tell you more about us and hear to all about you. Standard job requirements apply and we are always open to assisting the right candidate in becoming an RBT. We believe with the right training for a person who has a heart for helping others and is not afraid to get a little silly this can be a great fit!
