Job Title: Lead Paraprofessional Technician
Our Lead Paraprofessional Technicians work collaboratively to promote optimal development and prevent long-term behavioral challenges in pediatric patients diagnosed with developmental disabilities, feeding disorders, or complex behavioral needs. By providing comprehensive applied behavior analytic (ABA) services, clinical data collection, and hands-on program support, our specialists proactively engage our most vulnerable patients to provide connection, structure, and therapeutic care. We view our clinical support teams as a critical component of the interdisciplinary care plan and recognize the incredibly positive impact they have on the developmental journeys and healthcare outcomes of our patients and their families. We hope you are excited by the opportunity to deliver specialized care in a way that redefines the patient experience through teamwork, compassion, and excellence within the RWJBarnabas Health network!
As a Lead Paraprofessional Technician within our behavior analysis program system, a typical day might include the following:
- Conducting dedicated clinical therapy sessions with patients using standard procedures under the direct guidance of a professional behavior analyst or licensed psychologist.
- Assisting professional behavior analysts in the seamless implementation of client intake, behavioral assessment, treatment, and discharge procedures.
- Processing, entering, and organizing assessment and treatment data into spreadsheets to accurately graph and report patient milestone progression.
- Collaborating with the interdisciplinary care team to assist with the development of critical skill-acquisition programs and behavior-reduction interventions.
- Reporting daily client behaviors, tracking environment variables in measurable terms, and preparing initial drafts of session descriptions, materials, and progress notes.
- Assisting with staff training and the coaching of caregivers, parents, and school personnel to ensure long-term treatment continuity across settings.
- Performing initial analysis of clinical findings to provide helpful procedure recommendations and suggestions to clinical leadership.
- Supporting clinical research activities and maintaining the overall cleanliness, organization, and compliance of department materials and equipment.
This Role Might Be For You If:
- You are deeply passionate about creating and delivering a differentiated healthcare experience for children, adolescents, and families navigating unique developmental milestones.
- You are highly resilient and maintain a calm, structured, and positive demeanor when working through challenging behaviors such as aggression, self-injury, elopement, or feeding difficulties.
- You set a high bar for yourself and others to maintain a safe, welcoming, highly organized, and therapeutic environment for your patients.
- You recognize and respect the direct impact you have on a young patient's daily recovery journey and how their family engages in the care plan.
- You possess the physical coordination, stamina, and manual dexterity to handle frequent movement, extended standing/sitting, and the ability to independently lift up to 50 pounds to support active pediatric patients.
To be considered for this opportunity, you must meet the following criteria:
- Education: High School Diploma or GED required. (Enrollment in an undergraduate or graduate program in psychology, child development, or a related behavioral science field is a strong plus!)
- Experience: Proven foundational experience working with individuals diagnosed with developmental disabilities or behavioral challenges within an educational, instructional, or therapeutic setting is preferred.
- Certifications: Current American Heart Association Basic Life Support (BLS) certification is required (or must be obtained within the designated onboarding period).
- Core Skills: Demonstrated proficiency with electronic data-collection systems, basic statistical spreadsheets, and building collaborative relationships across diverse population demographics.
