About this role
Cortica is hiring Behavior Technicians in Charlotte to deliver one-on-one and group ABA therapy services to children with autism and neurodevelopmental differences. The role centers on implementing evidence-based behavior strategies under BCBA supervision, documenting progress, and collaborating with families to build skills that generalize across home, school, and community. You'll work within a transdisciplinary team that includes speech-language pathologists, occupational therapists, and other specialists, using a strength-based, neurodiversity-affirming approach rather than deficit-focused methods.
The position offers flexible part-time scheduling—choose 5, 3, or 2 days per week—with pay from $20.08 to $26.94 per hour depending on experience. Cortica covers paid drive time, mileage reimbursement, and provides a two-week paid training to get you started. You'll have access to ongoing professional development, a 401(k) with company matching, and a clear pathway to advance into lead technician roles, the clinical ladder, or BCBA training.
To succeed here, you need reliable transportation (you'll travel between client sites within a 30–40-minute radius), a high school diploma or higher, and experience working with children—autism experience is preferred. Comfort with EMR systems and Microsoft Office is expected. This role suits someone drawn to hands-on clinical work who values a supportive, collaborative environment and wants to grow within a mission-driven organization.
