Are you passionate about helping children with autism and behavioral challenges build meaningful life skills? Thrive Therapy is looking for compassionate, motivated professionals to join our growing ABA team. Our applied behavior analysis jobs give team members the opportunity to make a real difference while growing in a supportive, ethical, and family-centered clinical environment.
At Thrive Therapy, we provide Applied Behavior Analysis, or ABA therapy, for children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and behavioral needs. Our team serves families across Pennsylvania, including the Philadelphia and Harrisburg areas, with individualized treatment focused on dignity, progress, and meaningful outcomes.
Whether you are an experienced BCBA, a credentialed RBT, or someone interested in starting a career as a behavior technician, Thrive Therapy offers opportunities to grow, learn, and support children and families in a deeply rewarding field.
What Makes Thrive Therapy’s Applied Behavior Analysis Jobs Different?
At Thrive Therapy, our approach to ABA is compassionate first. We believe every child deserves to be treated with dignity, respect, and patience. Our goal is not just to teach skills, but to build trust, encourage independence, and create therapy experiences that feel safe and supportive for each child.
We value assent-based care, individualized programming, and family collaboration. That means we pay close attention to each child’s comfort, communication, preferences, and needs. We do not believe in forcing children through therapy. Instead, we focus on positive support, meaningful goals, and strategies that help children participate more confidently in daily life.
Our team also believes that great care starts with supported clinicians. Thrive Therapy has a growing team of behavior technicians, RBTs, BCBAs, supervisors, and administrative professionals who work together to support both clients and staff. When you join Thrive Therapy, you are not expected to figure everything out alone. You have a team behind you.
Current ABA Career Opportunities at Thrive Therapy
Thrive Therapy offers several career paths for professionals interested in ABA therapy, autism services, and behavioral support. Depending on your experience, credentials, and goals, opportunities may include:
Board Certified Behavior Analyst
A Board Certified Behavior Analyst, or BCBA, plays a key leadership role in ABA therapy. BCBAs assess client needs, develop individualized treatment plans, supervise behavior technicians and RBTs, analyze data, and collaborate with families to support progress.
This role is ideal for experienced ABA professionals who are passionate about clinical quality, ethical care, mentorship, and individualized programming.
Registered Behavior Technician
A Registered Behavior Technician, or RBT, provides direct ABA therapy services under the supervision of a qualified supervisor. RBTs help implement treatment plans, collect data, support skill-building goals, and work closely with children during therapy sessions.
This position is a strong fit for individuals who enjoy hands-on work, direct client interaction, and helping children make daily progress.
Behavior Technician
Behavior technicians support children by providing direct therapy services under supervision. This role may be a great starting point for individuals who are new to ABA and interested in building a long-term career in autism services.
Behavior technicians may assist with skill development, reinforcement strategies, data collection, and session activities while learning from experienced clinical team members.
Behavioral Health Technician
Behavioral Health Technicians may support children with autism and behavioral challenges in a variety of therapy-related settings. This role requires compassion, patience, reliability, and a willingness to learn evidence-based strategies that help children grow.
Credential Requirements for ABA Jobs
Credential requirements can vary by role, location, payer requirements, and state regulations. At Thrive Therapy, each position has specific qualifications based on the responsibilities of the role.
For BCBA positions, candidates typically need to hold active BCBA certification and meet any applicable state or employer requirements. BCBAs are responsible for assessment, treatment planning, supervision, and clinical decision-making.
For RBT positions, candidates generally need to meet Registered Behavior Technician certification requirements, including approved training, competency assessment, and supervision standards. RBTs work under the direction of a qualified supervisor.
For behavior technician or entry-level ABA roles, candidates may not always need to begin with an advanced credential, but they should be dependable, compassionate, professional, and open to training. These positions can be a valuable pathway for individuals who want to grow into RBT, BCBA, or other clinical roles over time.
Because ABA credentialing and licensing requirements can change, applicants should review each job posting carefully and speak with Thrive Therapy during the hiring process about current requirements for the role they are pursuing.
ABA Jobs in Philadelphia and Harrisburg
The need for quality autism services continues to be important for families throughout Pennsylvania. In larger service areas like Philadelphia, families may need ABA providers who can support children across diverse home, school, and community environments. In the Harrisburg area, access to consistent, compassionate ABA therapy can also be essential for families seeking individualized support close to home.

Whether you are looking for ABA jobs in Philadelphia, exploring behavior technician opportunities in Harrisburg, or searching for a team where you can grow long term, Thrive Therapy offers a supportive environment for meaningful work.
Career Growth in ABA Therapy
One of the most rewarding parts of working in ABA is the opportunity to grow. Many professionals begin as behavior technicians and later pursue RBT certification, advanced education, or BCBA credentials. Others enter the field with clinical experience and continue developing through supervision, mentorship, and hands-on practice.
A possible ABA career path may include:
Starting as a behavior technician
Earning RBT certification
Gaining supervised ABA experience
Pursuing advanced education in behavior analysis or a related field
Becoming a BCBA
Moving into clinical leadership, supervision, training, or program development
