United Care ABA-Colorado -

Grow your skills, help kids thrive, and join a company that has your back. Looking for a career, a meaningful side opportunity, or summer hours that make a difference? Join us!

At United Care ABA, we’re more than a workplace—we’re a mission-driven team committed to improving the lives of children with autism and their families. We’re currently seeking youth aides, child care workers, teaching assistants, paraprofessionals, DSPs, school staff, college students, and others with experience working with children to join us as Behavior Technicians (BTs) and Registered Behavior Technicians (RBTs).

Whether you're already in the ABA field, work in a school and are looking for after-school or summer hours, or are just beginning your journey, we offer a supportive, collaborative environment where your growth and well-being are prioritized.

If you’ve worked as a Youth Aide, DSP, paraprofessional, school aide, camp counselor, daycare worker, teaching assistant, or in any role supporting children or individuals with disabilities, you already have the foundation for success in ABA—your experience with behavior management, communication, and daily support directly translates to the skills needed to thrive as a Behavior Technician.

In Colorado, BTs are required to become Registered Behavior Technicians (RBTs), and we will provide the training, guidance, and support to help you complete the certification process and build a long-term career in the ABA field.

Why United Care ABA?

At United Care ABA, we don’t just value our team—we invest in it. We know the work is demanding, so we’ve built systems that ensure every BT and RBT feels supported every step of the way.

Here’s what sets us apart:

Regular Team Huddles & Check-Ins: You’ll never feel alone on an island. We stay connected.
RBT Spotlights: We highlight your growth, your wins, and your journey—not just your hours.

Professional Advancement: Grow your career in the ABA field with opportunities to deepen your skills, take on new challenges, and advance in your career.

We support you—so you can support your clients.

Flexible Scheduling, including after-school, evening, and summer opportunities
Competitive Compensation: $21–$28+ per hour based on experience and credentials, with opportunities for bonuses and advancement

Who We're Looking For:

We welcome applicants from all backgrounds who have a heart for working with children and a drive to make a difference—whether or not you’ve worked in ABA before.

You’re a great fit if you have:

Experience working with children in any setting—schools, after-school programs, camps, daycare, youth services, or special education settings
A passion for helping kids grow, learn, and thrive
Strong communication and interpersonal skills—you connect easily and take initiative
Reliability and attention to detail—you follow through and take pride in doing things right
Openness to training, feedback, and continuous learning
