Meaningful Behavioural Therapy That Balances Play and Structure

We are seeking dependable, energetic Supervised Behavioural Therapists (SBTs) to provide one-to-one behavioural therapy to neurodivergent children and youth throughout the Durham Region.

This role blends warmth and play with structure: you will connect creatively with children while delivering therapy with precision, accuracy, and accountability.

Supervised Behavioural Therapists implement individualized ABA programs under the clinical direction of a Registered Behaviour Analyst (RBA). Programming is designed and overseen clinically, and therapists receive ongoing supervision, training, and feedback to ensure measurable progress and high-quality support for the children and families we serve.

Families rely on our professionalism, consistency, and follow-through — qualities that are essential in this role.

YOU’LL BE GREAT AT THIS IF YOU…

Communicate clearly and proactively

Follow through on commitments and respect others’ time

Are confident in your stated availability before accepting clients

Maintain structure while being playful and creative with children

Are open to supervision, ongoing training, and applying feedback

Enjoy seeing tangible progress in the children and families you work with

WHAT WE OFFER

Competitive pay: $30–$40+ per hour, based on education and experience

Paid prep time + reimbursement for materials

Flexible scheduling designed to minimize travel

Opportunity to make a meaningful impact on children and families

WHO THIS ROLE IS FOR

Individuals with education and/or experience in Autism, Behaviour Therapy, Child Development, Psychology, or related fields

Professionals with strong organizational skills, attention to detail, and the ability to maintain meticulous data and daily notes

People who enjoy blending play, creativity, and structure

Please note: we are currently prioritizing candidates with afternoon availability. If you can start sessions no later than 2:00pm and are available through approximately 4:30–5:30 pm depending on the client, we would love to hear from you.

THE ROLE

As a self-employed Supervised Behavioural Therapist, you will:

Deliver individualized 1:1 ABA therapy in home and community settings

Implement structured behavioural programs with accuracy and consistency

Collect objective, real-time data during every session

Complete thorough, professional DAILY session notes

Communicate proactively with your supervising RBA and therapy team

Prepare program materials (paid prep time and material reimbursement included)

Maintain predictable attendance once scheduled with a family

Therapists refine their skills through regular supervision, ongoing training, and reflection; a willingness to receive guidance and apply feedback is essential.

While SBTs work independently in home and community settings, they do so within a structured supervision framework. Therapists are entrusted to implement programs accurately and creatively while maintaining meticulous data and communication. All work is conducted under the guidance and oversight of the supervising RBA, ensuring both professional autonomy in the moment and accountability for client outcomes.
