The above reflects the anticipated hourly wage range for this position if hired to work in New Jersey.
The compensation offered to the candidate selected for the position will depend on several factors, including the candidate's educational background, skills and professional experience.
At Children's Specialized Hospital, we are dedicated to helping children with complex medical needs and behavioral challenges reach their full potential. Within our RUCARES Pediatric Feeding Disorders program, our teams work collaboratively to deliver life-changing applied behavior analytic (ABA) services. We are looking for a compassionate, resilient, and driven team member to step into the vital role of Paraprofessional Technician. By partnering closely with our Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs), you will play a direct, hands-on role in helping pediatric patients overcome feeding disorders and developmental milestones. If you are looking for a career where your empathy meets evidence-based clinical excellence, we hope you are excited by this opportunity to redefine pediatric healthcare!
As a Paraprofessional Technician, a typical day might include the following:
- Conducting ABA sessions with pediatric patients using standard procedures under the direct guidance of a professional behavior analyst.
- Implementing critical clinical protocols, including intake, functional assessments, intensive feeding treatments, and family discharge procedures.
- Assisting with skill-acquisition programs designed to increase food/liquid acceptance, self-feeding, chewing, and core communication skills.
- Supporting behavior-reduction strategies, such as implementing safe extinction protocols or non-contingent reinforcement to reduce mealtime disruptions.
- Managing data and analysis by entering daily tracking data into spreadsheets, generating progress graphs, and drafting precise session notes.
- Empowering families and caregivers through hands-on coaching and training to ensure long-term clinical success at home and in school.
- Maintaining a pristine environment by ensuring the organization, cleanliness, and sanitation of department treatment spaces, materials, and equipment.
- Contributing to innovative research activities alongside clinical faculty to advance the field of pediatric feeding and behavioral therapy.
This Role Might Be For You If:
- You are highly resilient and adaptable. You remain calm, supportive, and completely focused during challenging situations, including patient vomiting, aggression, self-injury, or food expulsion.
- You have strong physical stamina. You are comfortable with frequent movement, standing or sitting for long periods, and have the physical capacity to lift up to 50 pounds independently (and assist with over 100 pounds).
- You are a champion for safety and collaboration. You actively "Speak Up for Safety," communicate with absolute clarity, and use the S.T.A.R. framework (Stop, Think, Act, Review) to deliver safe, error-free clinical care.
- You lead with a thoughtful, questioning attitude. You look out for your teammates, naturally use a positive tone in sensitive environments, and view feedback and peer coaching as tools for growth.
- You are passionate about behavioral health. You love watching tiny milestones turn into massive victories and want to make a lasting, everyday difference for vulnerable families.
To be considered for this opportunity, you must meet the following criteria:
- Education: Minimum of a High School Diploma or GED equivalent.
- Certification: Active American Heart Association Basic Life Support (BLS) certification is required
- Experience: Preference is given to individuals with prior experience working with patients diagnosed with developmental disabilities, pediatric feeding disorders, or behavioral challenges within an educational, instructional, or therapeutic setting.
