About this role

Join Us to Become a Behavior Tech Rockstar! (...and no, no formal experience required!)

Why Coyne?

Coyne & Associates has been making a difference in the lives of children for over 20 years, but we’re still small enough that you’ll feel connected to and supported by your team! You’ll have the opportunity to thrive in a close-knit, meaningful environment and be led by Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs) who understand exactly what you need to excel in this role. We genuinely care!

We’ve got some serious bragging rights too: one of the highest-rated ABA agencies on Glassdoor & Indeed, and a multi-year Top Workplace™ winner, including 2024 Top Workplace™ USA. Plus, we don’t just train our staff—we train them right. As a technician you won’t be stuck behind a screen; you will be in the home, learning hands-on in real-life sessions. And yes, you get paid your full rate during training because we value your time and learning!

Your Superpowers:

  • Play (we mean work) 1:1 with kids ages 1-12 with developmental delays/autism – you’ll be in their homes, bringing lesson plans to life like a teaching wizard.
  • Take notes like a boss – track progress, celebrate wins, and capture details that make the session meaningful.
  • Coach caregivers so they can sprinkle the magic of ABA into everyday moments.

Here’s What We’re Looking For:

  • 60 college units and 1 year of supervised experience in early intervention, OR
  • 60 college units (including 12 units in a related field such as Psychology, Child Development, Special Education, or Education) and 6 months of experience working with children, OR
  • Bachelor’s degree or higher in a related field (e.g., Psychology, Child Development, Special Education, or Education) and 6 months of experience working with children.
  • You’re ages 21+ (our insurance says so) and have a car with a license and insurance to match.

Why Coyne is Cooler Than Your Average Job:

  • Up to $27/hr – plus, you get paid even while training!
  • Flexible Hours – part-time, full-time, and Saturday gigs if you’re feeling ambitious.
  • Perks Galore – medical, dental, PTO for full time staff, and sweet referral bonuses (hello, $250-$1000 for each friend you refer!).
  • Mileage Reimbursement – get paid to travel between clients (minimum wage for drive time).
  • Tools of the Trade – company-issued iPad + cell phone reimbursement because we know data tracking should be easy!
  • Professional Growth – whether you're aiming for a Master's or just looking to level up, we've got many paths for you.

Perks of Hanging with Coyne:

  • A compassionate, vibrant community where Supervisors are more like mentors.
  • Our quality of service is top notch - we truly care about the long term outcomes we have on children!
  • After only 6 months in the role, you’ll have an opportunity for growth and a promotion to Trainer where you will get to help future technicians in the field!
