Behavior Technician - Lexington Clinic

At Hopebridge, we are committed to providing personalized therapy for children and their families touched by behavioral, physical, social, communication, and sensory challenges by building a bridge to help them lead their best lives.

We look for people who are excited to learn and are passionate about helping our children learn and making each day of therapy fun and upbeat. It’s time to become someone’s hero, and maybe learn that your own hero is only a few feet tall.

Not a Registered Behavior Technician (RBT)? Don't worry! You don't need a degree in education or specialized certification in ABA therapy to begin your career. If you have a passion for working with kids and are open to learning, we will provide you with all the training and expertise you need to begin this rewarding career.

Already an RBT? Great! We invite you to learn more about Hopebridge and why we are different! We would love the opportunity to tell you more about what it's like to be a #hopebridgehero.
